ESPN 3 failed me just as they were lining up for the FG, what happened?

In short, we lost

NM false start then they made the 53-yard try. Game over 16-13 Lobos.

 

[TU_BLA]

We’ll be lucky to win another game this year...QB a major issue. If the D knows you can’t throw they can pack it and there’s only so many tackled Brewer and Brooks can elude.

Play calling was sorry. I don’t think there is any confidence in President and today he couldn’t even run the ball. New Mexico just showed everyone how to shut our office down.

This was pathetic.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Just a pathetic showing on offense. Davie out coached Monty imo. No complaints on defense, gave up 16 points.

 

[TULSARISING]

Are we sure Bill wasn't on the sideline today? What a disgusting football team. I'd be perfectly fine if the entire coaching staff got fired tomorrow and replaced with a high school staff. Absolutely pathetic.

Thing is, he had 2 years to recruit a QB. Can't win football games when all you can do is run.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Single coverage all game and we couldn't get but 1-2 plays over the top.

 

[TUGrad06]

In short, we lost

We lost to a 3rd/4th string QB that went 9/14 for 108 yards and an INT, but ran for 156 and a TD.

Meanwhile, our "4 star" scrambling QB went 13/27 for 131 yards, 1 INT, and -4 rushing yards. Effing amazing.

We lost the total yards battle 286 to 446.

We won the TO battle 3-1.

We lost TOP 42 minutes to 18.

We lost the first down battle 25-15.

We are a terrible football team coached by an increasingly stubborn bad coach.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Why no Timeout to ice kicker?

 

[TUGrad06]

Navy will put up 60+ with 600 yards on the ground next week.

 

[TUGrad06]

Also, after 4 games, our 4 star QB has 1 TD pass. ONE.

Drop by Keenan in 1st Qt sure came back to haunt us

On a positive note, we're still undefeated in conference play.

We also blew our home winning streak

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Shit game.
Crap team.
Sucky coaching in all facets!

 

[TU 1978]

We’ve become one dimensional on offense. Time to move Chad and try something else.

I am surprised it took defensive teams this long to figure it out with Chad not being accurate on down field throws.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Anybody else have a feeling we get beat on a last second fg again?

No I don't think it winds up that close.

 

[TU_BLA]

Navy will put up 60+ with 600 yards on the ground next week.

No they won’t. The game is not long enough for them to do that.

 

[TU_BLA]

I am trying to figure out how New Mexico had over 400 yards in offense and only 16 pts to show for it.

We were anemic all over the place. Except our punter. He’s a stud.

 

[TUGrad06]

No they won’t. The game is not long enough for them to do that.

Fair point. It'll be 35 - 17, they'll have 50 minutes T.O.P. Or it'll be 50/50 TOP because we'll let them score on 50 yard runs. NM wasn't athletic enough to break the long one, Navy will be though.

They fumbled 2 times in our red zone, didn't they? Then that INT. We won the turnover battle and still found a way to lose b/c Chad sucks and Monty is stupid.

turnovers.

 

[Tulsa76]

This offense is back to being boring. I'm so bored watching the offense. Same thing every 1st down. We don't have a qb that can read defenses or throw so I get it but let's do different kinds of runs at least.

I hope Monty hasn’t caught the Blankenship Virus!!

 

[Air_Raid918]

Should have opened up the playbook a bit more. President overthrew too many passes, but we didn't utilize his running abilities enough.

 

[TULOYAL]

I went to the game and noticed the same thing I noticed in the spring game and every game since, CP doesn't have an arm strong enough to become a good college quarterback in an offense with a passing game. Even his completions arrive so late that the receivers have no time to make a move to get downfield. The weak arm is just going to be too much of a liability to ever have a passing attack that anyone respects. Monty needs to get objective about this and start developing a QB with the arm strength of a D1 talent.

Agreed. This is why I was surprised Montgomery ended up sticking with President as the starter. He's extremely athletic, but he can't throw the ball with accuracy beyond 10 yards or so. I really thought skipper would start simply based on his ability to give us both a run and pass option.

Let's hope he (Skipper) gets a start next game. He's (Prez) been given 33% of the schedule and he's 1 and 3. The defence only played good in 1 of those 4 games, but today he was completely stymied and ineffectual. Tripped on 3rd and 1 like a friggin putz.

 

[HuffyCane]

He’s not going to change quarterbacks going into conference play and a grudge game.

 

[TU 1978]

Then it will be an even bigger loss than today.

Monty is stupid? Don't drink and post.

 

[noble cane]

Offensive coaching was very one dimensional today.

We looked poorly coached and out recruited..

Our talent level does not appear to be improved.

 

[astonmartin708]

Which means we will have to watch President until we finally face a team that can stop our run and score points. Navy might be that team. But we wouldn't possibly see a QB change until the second half.

Not enough 3stars?

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa's talent is not up to where Graham had it...

Monty has warts.

Crap defense. Poorly coached.

Offense is fine - better than average. But a defense w a slightly better than "ok" offense won't win D1 games.

 

[I.I.]

We substitute players at every position except QB it seems. I am a basketball guy but when a starter is struggling like a Pat Birt, you try someone else. No one on this board or in the stands is going to berate the coaching staff for using the back-up QB for a few series and see if there is potential there. Heck, New Mexico used their 3rd string QB today and he could stay a starter if they keep winning.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Except our punter. He’s a stud.

And Redford Jones. He made a 50 yarder and looked like it was good for an additional 5-6 yards.

 

[astonmartin708]

You know who President reminds me of? A more agile Cody Green.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I hope Monty isn't as stubborn as Blankenship was.

 

[TulsaEye]

If Coach Monty doesn't wake quick in regards to getting a QB in that can actually throw balls accurately. It will be blood bath in conference games.

 

[TulsaGrad07]

So did Blankenship do a better job with recruting than Monty?
