All great points. We have lost the swagger Meyer brought to the program. It is gone! I seriously don't see a game on the schedule that we will likely win. I'll enjoy the fall afternoons sitting in the stadium however. If Michigan fires Lloyd Carr and makes a big push for Meyer with an offer he can't refuse, then we will face him next year at Michigan. Remember, Michigan was a school Meyer had on his short list of places to coach.
Wow,
I have to agree, all correct. Although it's hard to lay much of this at Grady's feet. It's not his fault he is a 5th year freshmen. That too is coaching and given this is only his first start, he did improve in the second half.
It surprises me how much of Urban Meyer has been forgotten already.
What did you think of the game?
My casual observations:
1. Grady does not read the defense quickly enough. Took much too long to decide where to throw it, does better on the timed routes such as quick slant where he simply throws. Can the offense be made simpler for him and still produce points? Doubtful.
2. Our offensive line can not block. At least not run block. While the running backs are not great, the blocking is not good enough to get very many yards. This has got to be a coaching problem.
3. Our wide receivers do not block downfield. Again, a coaching problem.
4. What happened to our attacking, blitzing defense?
5. Whit said he was most concerned that they could not get that one yard. I'm concerned that they only scored 3 points in the first half. I'm concerned that we have no offensive philosophy. We change our offense radically when we have to put in a new QB? We have a JC QB that can run the spread but we don't use him because what? He isn't good enough, or we don't want to burn his red-shirt? The freshmen they are red-shirting is the heir apparent to Johnson. Manus will never see the light of day unless Johnson goes down next year and probable not even then.
6. Coaches silly enough to chase points (read 2 point conversion try) in the middle of the game. What that said is, either I'm stupid and have never look at the study done over and over again on this subject, or I don't think we can score more than once again in regulation. Sad.
7. This is beginning to look like McBride all over again.
8. Is Kyle too stubborn to change when it is staring him in the face? Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and thinking the outcome will change.
9. Why does Kyle give scholarships to people who can't play the type of football you play?
10. If we only win four games (USU, UNLV, SDSU, UW/UNM) will Dr. Hill pull the trigger? Does Kyle get fired or is he forced to re-vamp his coaching staff?
What say ye?

The "Don't Tread on Me" Flag: The First Navy Jack is enjoying renewed popularity these days thanks to an order from the Secretary of the Navy that directs all U.S. Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack for the duration of the War on Terrorism.
