Look at the air temp - not bad - 84
Look at the humidity - ouch - 74%

we seem to always lose in high humidity match ups. was really disappointed when seeing dax’s weather report.

Balls travel further in humidity, AJ might to put a little less gunpowder in his cannon!

If I'm the green wave I'm stacking the box and making Avery beat me with his arm.

Agree.
I wonder if they will blitz much? I wouldn’t. I would stunt like crazy with the front four, but I would shadow him.

Yeah, which we should counter with RPO and some bubble screens to spread the field a bit horizontally,, and also potentially let the deep open up. Will be interesting to see what we do.

Does AJ have the breakaway speed to make use of the outside run? Don't know the speed/quality of Green Wave CB's and DB's

Pretty sure he's one of top 3 fastest guys on team.

That will likely be the gameplan of every opponent until he proves his passing game is legit
-
It’ll be more than just humid, it’s going to rain all weekend. The lowest percentage chance of rain is during the game and even that’s still like 50%. Gonna suck. Getting very ‘09 ULL vibes on this one.

We should get the ball around where they kicked it, right? Play was dead. Ball was dying there.

Not to mention the recovery was aided by an illegal kick, which apparently cannot be called because the play was blown dead. Truly bizarre.
-
Why is he in such a hurry?
-
Two bad throws by Avery but does Giddens even know these are pass plays?
-
Well... this may be a long day boys.

I’m slightly concerned about Avery…

Full disclosure: I'm in AK right now, have only a beer in my system, and was previously distracted by the 'company' I'm visiting. The details in my memory may not be fully accurate.
-
Blocking execution at all levels pretty poor so far - missing blocks left and right. Our OL seemingly can't get to the edge and/or second level fast enough to stop their LBs.
Giddens could have had a huge gain on that second drive if it wasn't a complete whiff on the perimeter.
Very sluggish...
-
I didn’t think a destined-to-fail lazy unoriginal 3rd down QB run play could be called with Avery Johnson at QB but Wells/Riley proved me wrong.
-
Well... this may be a long day boys.
Yep... going to be long day.

Hopefully this isn't this coaching staff's annual WTF game, but not looking great so far

Let’s do it again!

This is embarrassing.

Guys... do we suck?
-
We ain't good. Gonna need a TO
-
what has this team been practicing?
-
I'm sad the hype train is dead
-
:cry:
-
+10 was a crazy line
-
We'll always have the pop tart bowl Avery
-
It’s hard to say this is surprising considering how we looked last week
-
They've scored 14 points in under 4 minutes of game time.
-
Jace Brown is p good
-
We probably still win this game but oof so far
-
This game is going to take all week.
-
Football games take too long
-
My request is we stop it with these designed qb runs and just let Avery sling it or run when he feels like it
-
Avery must’ve turned off the earpiece, so he could play some ball
-

I think the Tulane QB is going to have more turnovers

But we can't keep leaving receivers wide open

Does our secondary know there's a football game going on?
-
Guys I think our defense might really suck
-
Defense looks perfectly content to get embarrassed by Tulane.
-
They’re really picking on Garber.

wtf is going on :fatty: PLEASE

Not sure these swing passes work so well if your blockers are too slow

-
I appreciate a mature qb, but in order for this team to have any success against good opponents avery will have to be more creative in the pocket, he appears to lack instinct in that area.

Infuriating

Football games take too long
Halftime is 25 minutes??? WTF????
-
We look rough in all phases of the game. Getting out coached too.
-
Yeah this needs to be a wholesale turnaround. Missing Lockett was bad
-
Missed pass was a killer. Avery still looks talented but raw. This might be a rebuilding year.
-
Guys, I believed the hype :frown:
-
The yearly charade of hype followed by getting embarrassed on the field is getting old.
-
I really really don't want to go three and out with the same set of plays that have us in this position in the first place. Let's see some adjustments.
-
SIGH
-
Just rough ridin' awful
-
We may not win, but at least we will be able to look back and say we didn't try
-
Guys I think the swing pass is gonna work this drive
-
I don't know what the deal is, bit Riley must be scared to death of letting Avery rip it (and maybe it has something to do with missing a wide open Lockett)

O line needs to get a helluva lot better if we want to pretend to compete for a conference title
-
I think we are incredibly lucky that this game is being televised on ESPN and not ESPN+ or FSN.
-
Defense has looked a lot better so far this half.
-
Apparently we made some defensive adjustments, but what if they adjust to our adjustments? Do we have one more adjustment in our adjustment binder? :ohno:
-
If our OL can nut up and stop playing like a bunch of p$ssies, then we need to go with Edward's because he hits the hole waaaaay faster than DJamer
-
That was nice.

Spectator. Like jump up do something

Our coaching staff hyped up the Ball State safety throughout the off season and he's been garbage during the first two games. That TD was clearly a rub, but he was too late getting to the corner to break it up
-
Ok ok ok ok
Get us the ball defense

Guys stop blitzing

Yeah. It seems like this staff has always hyped the guys who excel at run support and can hit, but I want some ball hawks. Especially today..

Only allowing 7 points and two turnovers and a touchdown for the defense in the second half. Joe "halftime adjustment" Klanderman

Thank goodness for the blue blood treatment

Solid defensive second halves has been the most reliable aspect of this team.

Phew! Go cats
*still angry about our last possession calls
-
I'm going to go ahead and hope/pray that this was, in fact, this coaching staff's annual WTF game and that we somehow managed to win it (thanks to our "culture" according to Klieman).
But, the ceiling will be limited for this team until Riley opens things up offensively.
-
Our offensive play calling has to be questioned though. Too many 3 and outs and plays that stood no chance of gaining yards.
-
Avery was pretty effective when he’s operating the offense at tempo. Threw some really nice darts. The run calls late in the game seemed to spoil the momentum more than provide offensive balance. :th_twocents:
-
i assume they’re waiting until next week to really open up the playbook. it’s the only logical explanation.
-
I think Tulane is a good team and we will probably have an easier time with Arizona at home.

Yeah my hope too. I do think that like our last offensive scoring drive was more indicative of the offense. We looked great then
-
I don't understand why Edwards doesn't play more.
-

Or that Riley is a timid fool who doesn't know how to use the special talent he's been gifted or know what a wide receiver is.

He had to be in the doghouse for some reason. Or injured. That’s the only logical explanation.

Because giddens had 23 touches for 177 yards

Avery seemed to be fighting a pretty nasty cold during his presser last week. Maybe Dylan was sick all week. As a very manly man, I can confirm that Man Colds are no joke.

-
maybe our d-coordinator died of covid last week?
-
maybe our d coordinator thought he was supposed to allow the other team to gain yards instead of not letting them gain yards. idk but it kinda looked like that happened.
-
To be fair, those tricky post patterns and crossing routes were novel and hard to defend.

Matrix Synthetic vs FieldTurf
I don’t think Matrix uses the rubber infill like FieldTurf
Plus I’ve always thought our grounds people did a very not so good job maintaining and grooming the fields. Yes-artificial grass fields need grooming. It’s just different than natural grass.

I'm much more worried about the defense. Terrible coverage breakdowns combined with an inability to get to the QB rushing 6.
I know the constant heavy blitzing and leaving receivers wide open caused a big turnover but I'm used to the warm fuzzy bending and not breaking style

I think there’s a lot of good “tape” that our coaches can use to improve this week.
a question for the dudes who might know, outside of the players who ere out of position, did they at least show good instincts?

Yeah, to me the second half was if anything a pretty overall good positive. Other than the incredibly stupid 3rd and 21 give up the defense really improved, and the offense had a very fluid drive in response to their only score in the second half, which came off of said 3rd and 21 give up. It was a perfect mixture of tempo, run, and pass.
It just seems we were timid, and a little scared/yips tbh in the first half. They just need to not played scared and be comfortable establishing a run, and also getting the WRs and Edwards more involved or on some isolations and let them make a play to get Avery settled. It's not that he's only going vertical it just feels like they rather do swing passes to the RBs, which isn't bad but like it needs to spread more.
We played not great, but also I didn't see anything that couldn't be significantly improved with some practice/film improvements. The secondary is the only area I have any lingering concerns but again our blitz packages definitely made their work harder. I'm not totally sold on our dline not getting push or hurries, we had 5 sacks and 11 TFL. Again plenty of blitz issues, but it just seemed way more we got them in long situations pretty regularly, and then just forgot what to do on 3rd down.
-
The only offensive series that had me irate was the last one, where we didn't even try to pick up a first down and almost ended up losing the game. Avery killed a few series by trying to get the ball to Giddens too early, but I'm confident he will get that fixed.
-
It seems there's a absence of run-pass options, which one would think would allow AJ to put the maximum pressure on the defense.
-
we should be running option plays with avery and edwards at least 97% of the time
-
I wonder if flat route passes that go nowhere will be a thing all season.
-
I'd like for us to use the wishbone.
-
Something that will be important about the Tulane game going forward is that they are good. Quite good. Much like they were two seasons ago, and like Mizzou was last season.
We have much room for improvement, yes. But this young squad getting the win rather than faltering like the past two seasons bodes well.

One quick indication of this will be Tulane @ OU this week. Obviously you cant always do the transitive property but if Tulane goes in and wins that's good for us. Afterall OU also was shakey against a pretty meh Houston team

Yeah that and the fact we kept using the swing pass to Giddens. Otherwise a lot of it seemed like execution issues.
Biggest positive of the game for me was that Avery seems nearly unsackable.

Giddens is a really pass receiving RB, but between Dylan Edwards and Joe Jackson we have a ton of ways to get the ball to players out of the backfield. I hope we get some better schemes to do it.
-
It's too bad Giddens didn't have a little more top end speed. He's great as is, though.

Unfortunately, I believe they will be. Our coaches seem to love high percentage throws to get a QB into a rhythm, despite how you basically burn a down to do it.

That depends; would you consider leaving players wide open to catch 30+ yard bombs good or bad instincts?

Agreed. That one was infuriating. Zero creativity, didn't change field position, and didn't use much clock.
-
I think Tulane is a good team and we will probably have an easier time with Arizona at home.
Unless our secondary realizes that their job is to try and prevent the QB from successfully throwing the ball to all the guys running around on the outside, it may be a long night.

They just need to get on the same page on crossing routes. It's not that difficult to fix.

I'm not worried about the secondary, CK is a DB savant. Could be as simple as swapping out Jordan Riley for another Safety and we look much improved.
-
It's too bad Giddens didn't have a little more top end speed. He's great as is, though.
He's a little different RB than Hubert, but that was my only complaint (and not really complaint, it is what it is) I had ever had against Hubert. If they both were a step or two faster they'd be Sproles level. I'm very happy with Giddens, I do wish we use Edwards just a smidge more, especially after like a decent Giddens run or 3 where he's worn the defense down a bit and then the speed burst of Edwards really can be used, change of pace kinda guy.
-
I just wish Avery would have hit the wide open Lockett for a TD. I feel like that really would have taken the wind out of Tulane's sails.

Yeah, like I am less nervous for this game than I was vs Tulane. Could we lose? Absolutely but I think Zona is playing pretty poorly overall. They allowed 39 points vs NM, who lost to arguably the best team in the Big Sky Montana State. Then they turned around and and only scored 22 vs Northern Arizona, who is a middling team in the Big Sky, who Montana State beat by 24 last year. I feel like Zona is due to be exposed a bit.

Klieman always breaks one off in someone's ass at home, I think UA will be the unlucky recipient this year.

since arizona is our new rival, I hope he doesn’t break it off. just keep it in there.

Only allowing 7 points and two turnovers and a touchdown for the defense in the second half. Joe "halftime adjustment" Klanderman
Every damn game. The only doubt is how big of a hole will the offense dig and will they eventually get their heads out of their asses after the always inevitable 3 and out to open the second half.

Matrix Synthetic vs FieldTurf
I don’t think Matrix uses the rubber infill like FieldTurf
Plus I’ve always thought our grounds people did a very not so good job maintaining and grooming the fields. Yes-artificial grass fields need grooming. It’s just different than natural grass.

Listening to Austin Romaine right now and he said their turf was very rough and slick.

I wonder if flat route passes that go nowhere will be a thing all season.
I think a healthy amount of these are from Avery not being comfortable with his progressions right now. Apparently, even on his touchdown pass to DJamer on 4th down, Jayce was open the entire time he was locked on DJamer's designed flare, but Avery never looked

I'm not worried about the secondary, CK is a DB savant. Could be as simple as swapping out Jordan Riley for another Safety and we look much improved.
People are rightfully pissed at Riley for not getting that interception in the end zone, but he wasn't the player in the secondary who was benched, Garber was. I think it's nearly impossible for fans to know if the safeties or corners screw up coverage, without knowing the calls.

He definitely tends to lock in on someone. Understandable for his experience level, but something he'll have to improve on.

It's what, Avery's second competitive game that he needed to pass in? He's got so much talent that he'll be fine.

I believe Avery took the first snap against TCU last year and immediately came out

Forgot about that, must have been the home game following his 5 TD performance against TTU. Was really weird.

But will was also in the field right?

Both on field for first snap, Will was QB, jet sweep with Avery.

Still a start!

But it was certainly inferred.
I'm sticking with 3-0.
