Actually, on TV the visitor side looked like to had some fans so I am sure some OU fans boosted the attendance but nowhere near 6000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I thought the fake punt was so predictable I had my eye on the up men blocking instead of the kicker. If I knew it was coming, why couldn't our football coaches figure this out. I thought that was the turning point in the game because they scored the go ahead touchdown. And for those looking for a good point to the end of the season, Cuffler's last pass of his career was not an interception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 I can't resist commenting on this game, the last of our Titanic-like cruise of a season. The field looked great on TV Play calling continued to be poor. Solution: give the damn ball to Lingard, brilliant on my part seeing that we have no QB and no one else has ever pushed that idea 🙄 Joe got out-coached Last season we got a glimpse of Joe's creative offense. I couldn't wait to see what he would do with better talent. It came and the offense exited the building This team has no discipline. The coaches seem to tolerate it so it has continued to the very end. Never corrected. We have become very good at finding a way to lose. Considering our QB's we are now in a worse position going into next season than we were going into this season. Instead of getting the QB room better it has gotten worse. The scheduling of OSU seems to be a short term act of desperation to get some money. Unfortunately it does not appear to be consistent with long term goals of building a program. Winning builds a program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre22era Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Edit: issue got resolved. Now that the season is over I expect a big turnaround come next season. Should be a great off-season. Now time to focus on hoops Edited November 25, 2023 by dre22era 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we can keep Tibesar around. Sure there were some breakdowns but the defense was absolutely a positive this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 "From my decision or their decision?" Sounds like one or more of his coaches could be considering a move. He's got his hands more than full trying to find Jimmys and Joes. Burning time and energy on coaching vacancies only adds to the mess we have right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long drives give the D a breather and actually putting points on the board let’s it breath and give different looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akron played it in the first half of the game Friday. Not so much in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hire JoeMo, you expect to not have to worry about the offense. The fact that we have a pretty stellar defense in his second year but a putrid offense is puzzling as hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. And what boggled my mind was how they seemingly kept trying to ram square pegs into round holes with the QB talent we didn't have. Good coaches don't do that. In maybe six consecutive weeks' postgame pressers JoMo said, "We've got to find a way to get Lingard more touches." What does that freaking mean?! You call the freaking plays! WTF? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read or heard somewhere that Fessler had been calling plays this season which makes a lot more sense with how the offense looked. Why would JoMo delegate that very important duty...especially allowing it to drag on all season??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But JoMo's constantly looking at his IHOP menu on the sideline & communicating with someone, i.e., it sure looks like he's calling the plays. And besides, I don't think our program's at the point where he can delegate that responsibility... especially considering how our offense underperformed all year. I don't want JoeMo to pull another Bowden & derail his career here by refusing to take back play calling duties from a young underling who isn't yet ready for the responsibility.

Pathetic excuse of a football "program". I'll always watch and stick around, always support. But im not sure why I would even think about buying any Akron merch, tickets, donations, etc. in this holiday season. I know they dont care, but show me success then i'll buy bakc in financially. Until then we'll always be the pathetic football school in the corner of Ohio. I do like the helmets at least. 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
