TU at NIU Game Thread

[HuffyCane]

Well, I’m happy who ever Hodge is joined the team mid week.

 

[TulsaAM]

Williams is just making poor decisions because he is taking too long to read the coverage

 

[TU1NNJ]

Cordell waiting too long on decisions

 

[TU Pilot]

Good pick. Cardel is driving me insane.

 

[tulsahurricane0530]

Just has anxious feet, hes pretty much tackling himself by running into the defenders

 

[TulsaAM]

Cordell waiting too long on decisions

This is the core of the problem, but it is fixable

By the time he decides to run it is too late. At least that is what I see in this game.

 

[lawpoke87]

We’re not a very good football team. NIU is worse .

 

[Henry Kendall]

Well our last two series have been pretty bad.

 

[astonmartin708]

This may be our best chance for a win this year..... yikes.

 

[astonmartin708]

Well our last two series have been pretty bad.

Conservative play calling.

 

[drboobay]

Ugly game.

 

[OKTornadoes]

NIU's drive was insanely long. We have to get it going on offense and at least get two stops, IMHO.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Our offense is almost as worthless as the color guy.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Frustrating game.
Cardell is single handedly losing this. Sorry. He's a kid. But, jeebus. He is just continuing to take huge negative chunks. Makes it hard to win.

 

[I.I.]

If he follows last week’s script, Braxton will start the second half. 🙂

 

[Henry Kendall]

In other news, OU up on Cinci 10-3 at half. UC had a chance to tie, but crapped their pants. UC only has one starter from last year on offense and new coaches.

As I suspected, OU is nothing special….we are just that bad.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Please don't put Fuller in. Hopefully Cardell will start making decisions a little earlier, and throw an incomplete pass when it doesn't work on a play that's not going anywhere.

Unfortunate.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Cardell is a good runner. He’s just playing anxiously, not instinctively. Don’t know if that’s something they can fix at halftime.

 

[drboobay]

Are we close to saying Presley just doesn't have it? That he is not the player we thought he might be?

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Too early for me. I still have hopes he will start showing us something.

 

[Henry Kendall]

The problem with Cardell and Fuller for game planning is that they are polar opposites. Cardell is best when he rolls out and is terrible in the pocket, Fuller is totally a pocket passer.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Now I see why he didn’t play much at OSU.

 

[TU1NNJ]

He will be fine. Just young.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Good start D. Benjamin looks solid at WR and confident return man

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Bad decision on that flip back to the rb.

 

[astonmartin708]

Unadventurous play calling.

Not showing too much trust in our qb

 

[TU Pilot]

Cardel

Bad decision on that flip back to the rb.

We've been running that with success. They read it and blew it up. And the outside lineman got beat.

 

[okie51]

We don't have a star player, go to guy. May be one will develop before time runs out on the season.

 

[TulsaAM]

Is what it is. In this "modern" era of football it's going to end up with the money schools taking a bigger slice of the pie and schools like Tulsa getting even less of the leftovers.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Bad decision

 

[TulsaAM]

That was a bad decision by Williams. He will be the reason if Tulsa loses this game.

 

[TU Pilot]

How long has it been since Dane played here? BC that was the last time we had a QB.

 

[Weatherdemon]

We are not very good.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Well it might be time for Fuller after all.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Even if we were to pull out a win today, not promising for a bowl game We need Braxton to get healthy and show us if he has anything.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Well it might be time for Fuller after all.

Exactly

 

[astonmartin708]

Smith and Brinn were okay to above average.

 

[Henry Kendall]

All Cardell is doing is handing the ball off up the middle and throwing picks. Fuller at least might see a receiver.
