FOOTBALL GAME THREAD Marshall vs WKU

[RhinoD]

Exactly.
Marshall actually tried to air it out when you'd think Doc would just sit on the possession and run out the clock.
I can't tell you how many drops MU had that were assured 1st downs and would have put MU up comfortably towards the end of the 4th.

For once, Green threw some very crisp passes. For once MU actually tried to keep their foot on the gas pedal. For once this isn't on Doc.
But the consensus is to blame him regardless so explanation doesn't seem to matter at this point.

Also to answer another question, I don't know about college kickers who are doing well, but Justin Tucker of the Ravens, is damn near automatic in his kicking game. He hits them routinely from 50+ yards out.

Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history, and he is so far ahead of second place (Will Lutz) that he could miss his next 10 kicks in a row and still be in first place for accuracy... He is the exception to the kicking woes currently plaguing NFL and college football.

People don't realize what a huge advantage it is, especially in the NFL, when any time you cross the opponents 40 yard line you feel good about getting points. Tucker isn't just a pro-bowler on track for the HOF, he's an offensive weapon.

Rohrwasser isn't anywhere near that point, but it's good to know he has a 50+ leg and isn't afraid of big spots.

Kicking won us a conference title.
Kicking is absolutely essential for a good team to have.
If MU can't score a TD, at the very least they'll score 3 pts.

Given Chicago's kicking woes, they could use Rohrwasser, lol.

He (Doc) is the head coach, so yeah it is still on him.
