Same ole Fancher

On the final drive, he completely overthrew a wide open receive 20 yards directly in front of him that would have likely been the game winner. And he was not being pressured.

You've made this comment in two separate threads, and since I didn't remember it, I went back and looked.

Fancher had two incompletions on their last drive. One was their final play when he was pressured, scrambling, and basically tossed it anywhere he could as he was being tackled. The only other incompletion was nothing like you described: a receiver wasn't "wide open," wasn't 20 yards down field, wasn't directly in front of him, and definitely would not have been the game winner even if it had been completed. As the commentators said, it looked like Fancher thought the receiver was going to sit his route down. Regardless, this couldn't have been the incompletion you were talking about, as none of it matched with what you said. On his final drive, on a 4th-and-8, he threw a beautiful ball for over a tightly covered receiver for a 20+ yard completion in the middle of the field.

Here is the full game replay. You can skip ahead to the end of the game and watch FAU's final drive. What incompletion were you talking about?

Play-by-play script: https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay/_/gameId/401628453

If you're talking about the second-to-last drive, then you've neglected to do a few things;
1) You didn't mention how the receiver was basically tackled, and then after the collision with the defender, the receiver didn't get back on track. He, for whatever reason, bent his route. Fancher's ball was thrown exactly where it should have been - up the field which was open. He would have no way of knowing the receiver was going to change his route after the collision.
2) You didn't mention that two plays before, Fancher threw a seed in very tight coverage. As the commentator said, it was such a good throw, that just a split second later would have been an INT.
3) Two plays after your referenced play, Fancher (list most of the game) was hit 1.5 seconds after the snap. Literally, he had a defender touching him 1.5 seconds after the snap. But instead of being sacked like most QBs would have been, he used his legs to get out of it, scrambled, and threw another seed while on the run for 10 yards.

Sounds like you're repeating it just for your sake, which finally makes sense, since you're the dimwitted one.

Where did anybody argue anything even remotely close to what you said? Violent crimes happen in the daytime in every average sized and larger city every single day.

FAUs defense forced 3 turnovers, gave up 14 points, held MSU under 300 yards total offense. MSU had 140 yards in penalties.

And the takeaway is Fancher had anything to do with why they only lost by 6?

You must be new here.

I have consistently argued that Fancher isn't the guy a team should lean on if they need to throw for 400 yards to win. His style of play does, however, allow a good defensive team with a bad offense to have a chance against far more talented teams. His legs allow a bad offense to have the ball much longer than they should. Couple that with a good defensive team, and it sets the team up for potential success.

1) Somebody is going to open up the coffers for Jason Eck, and Marshall should be the one to do it (assuming eight wins aren't reached this year).
2) Somebody is going to do the same for Barry Odom, but Marshall won't be able to afford him.
3) The west virginia performance was even worse than the score showed. They were gifted three points on a horrible 4th down spot when the commentators all agreed that progress was stopped at least a half-yard before the sticks. The club seats behind the end zone are awful to see on television. It looks like nobody is there, and that was before the weather delay.
4) Some people don't look good with facial hair, yet they still do it. One example is your wife. It's time she shaves that shit. Another example is Neal Brown. Sure, he looks goofy regardless, but it's even worse with his attempt at facial hair.
5) Whose luster has faded faster: Luke Fickell, Matt Campbell, or PJ Fleck? Sure, they're all making great money, but all three of them over the last few years were expected to be at a blue-blood school by now. In college football, if you don't take the bigger paycheck once it comes and bet on yourself that you can produce the same success over the next year or two, you're likely to get stung. Jeff Traylor should take note.
6) UCLA has a great defense, and that will allow them to be somewhat successful this year. But does anybody else think DeShaun Foster knows what the fvck he is doing and was a lazy and horrendous hire?
7) Northwestern's temporary stadium this year makes FIU's stadium look like the Taj Mahal.
8) Arkansas State got very, very lucky multiple times to come up with a last second win against Central Arkansas.
9) Abilene Christian's receivers made big plays all games, then they couldn't do the same multiple times over the last few minutes and overtime that would have won them their game at Texas Tech.
10) Dana Holgorsen got paid a ton of money to leave Houston in a really shitty spot.

Not surprisingly, the morons failed to mention that he had more rushing yards than the rest of his team combined, that they only lost by six on the road against a decent Big 10 school, and that he got them to midfield with two minutes to play with a chance to win the game.
