Great stop defense ! Now let's get the O running!

 

[TU_BLA]

Shamari Brooks is a freaking MONSTER!

 

[nevadanatural]

There's the changeup.

 

[TULSARISING]

We are on our way ..
* Takes another sip of Kool aid*

 

[TUGrad06]

Such blah play calling. Finally a good pass downfield. Nice bulldozing from shamari.

 

[JesseTU]

Defensive stop. Then a complete pass. Pretty much had it all right there!

 

[HuffyCane]

I foresee too much beer in my future ...

 

[nevadanatural]

Brooks was a steal. He's going to be big time.

 

[TUGrad06]

These refs...

 

[TULSARISING]

These refs...

I'm game for having them for all of our games lol

 

[TULSARISING]

I'm game for having them for all of our games lol

They are legit calls though

 

[tuharvard]

What am I missing? Christian Williams replaces Mitchell, & just like last week (in brief playing time), he consistently makes the tackle. He looks SO much better out there, & our defense as a whole looks vastly improved. He makes plays. He wraps up. Mitchell, on the other hand, is always a step late & simply cannot bring ballcarriers to the ground with any consistency whatsoever.

 

[TUGrad06]

Part for the course pass defense.

 

[TU_BLA]

Someone needs to teach our DBs that their heads do indeed turn on their necks. The atlas and axis cervical vertebrae allow that to happen.

 

[JesseTU]

Thank God for Toledo penalties. Defense is working hard, but ouch. Bad angles. Bad tackling. Do we not teach corners to turn the hell around and look for the ball?

At least our d is now making them earn it.

 

[JesseTU]

Zero faith in President's throwing ability. One throw in the entire half?

And yes, I'm whiny tonight. Sorry.

 

[nevadanatural]

28-14 at half on the road isn't bad but I wish we hadn't misfired so much in that 2nd quarter. There are no safe leads with our D and they get the ball to start the 2nd half.

 

[HuffyCane]

I can't speak for the whole crew, but Anthony Calabrese the referee is an AAC ref. Pretty sure, but not 100% certain he worked our Navy game last year.

 

[TUGrad06]

Yep, we'll likely give up a long TD to start the 2nd half. Our offense needs to get some more sparks. Chad needs to keep on the option, and throw downfield. I still wish we could've seen more of Skipper. Put Bower in.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Put Bower in.

Bower for President!!!!!!!!11111

 

[nevadanatural]

He was 6-10 in that half but I do agree we need to throw it more to open up the run game.

 

[cmullinsTU]

I think what we are doing on offense is fine. Hard to complain about 6.1 ypc on the ground.

 

[TULSARISING]

Horrible effort on that last td

 

[nevadanatural]

As I said earlier, crap!

 

[TUGrad06]

Called it.

 

[TUGrad06]

The route tree in this offense is wr screen and go route.

 

[TUGrad06]

Now that was a good play call.

 

[TU_BLA]

Wanna throw a real curveball at Toledo...run Skipper out there the next series and start slinging it

 

[nevadanatural]

I know the philosophy is get points when you can but we can't trade TDs for FGs.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

I'd go for it. Tulsa cannot stop anything. Did anyone see how bad this defense was going to be PRIOR to the season? It's shocking.

 

[TU_BLA]

Seriously...I wonder if college football allows you to concede a score and just move to the next series. Not sure why we even bother running our defense out there.

 

[TUGrad06]

Useless d-backs.

 

[TULSARISING]

We may be looking for a defensive coordinator after this season, no excuse for this

 

[panicstricken]

I knew as soon as I got excited about the defense in the first half they would let me down

 

[ShaneB72]

Worst defense ever?

 

[panicstricken]

Hes gotta get fired.

 

[nevadanatural]

From a 21 point lead to a 3 point lead, I'm not confident.

 

[jesterondirt]

If we're gonna get burned anyways might as well bring the house after the qb

 

[TU_BLA]

I'd go for it. Tulsa cannot stop anything. Did anyone see how bad this defense was going to be PRIOR to the season? It's shocking.

Our safeties are utterly useless. Isn't the premise to give help over the top. They're glued to a spot 15 yds from the LOS and their eyes never move side to side. We're going to score 45 points and lose by 10 the way this is going

 

[TUGrad06]

I'd go for it. Tulsa cannot stop anything. Did anyone see how bad this defense was going to be PRIOR to the season? It's shocking.

Yes. We're always bottom barrel defense.
