Rice - Yes
Herd - No
Worst performance this season. Rice owned us and more than likely dropped us out of any national ranking.

&#@$ing embarrassing

 

[ilmherdfan]

We do it every year

This season? That’s possibly one of our worst performances in program history, given expectations.

That’s the first time we’ve EVER been shut out at JCE.

We’re without a doubt dropping out of the rankings, I’ll be surprised if we get a single vote.

 

[ilmherdfan]

I listened to a good bit of the pregame show and a couple of players mentioned how they blew it the last few years losing games that cost them the east. They were saying how this time was different. No it’s not.

More than likely? Are you kidding me will be lucky to be a top 50 team after that “L”

Three weeks off doesn’t help but it’s all on the coaches

We Got Doc'ed

 

[LOYAL2THEHERD]

Out-coached all the way around.we couldn’t adjust to what they were doing. They put the heat on Wells the whole game. We didn’t adjust with quick slants or quick outs.

Meanwhile, Charlotte’s Defensive Coordinator is on a conference call with the Rice Defensive Staff. “He guys, we are all professionals here, send us your Marshall game plan.”

Welp, misery must love company! Western dominating Charlotte 17-zip at the half. I swear to the the Lord almighty: If we can’t be ready to blast a team, who will only have 3 days to practice before leaving for Htgn on Thursday, and who embarrassed us last year at their place and thinks their our equal? Let the haters finish this statement....

I'm just glad there was water in the pool because we took a dive in the polls that was so deep we surely would have come up with a bloody nose without it. Come to think of it, maybe we did come up bloodied, battered, and bruised.

So, Western punches Charlotte in the nose 37-19.
If I am understanding the rules for the Western division, UTSA is going to represent w/a 5-2 won-loss in conf. La Tech, @ 4-2 has a lower win %, and UAB hasn’t played enough games to be eligible for consideration. Meanwhile, once again Doc stares at a division title & a home game on 12/19 for all of the marbles (all of the ones we could possibly have played with when the season started!!) - can he fire up his players & get over the finish line?

 

[Treadmill MUsic]

I like that story line. Also add, “in the last year of his deal.” Even though most believe Coach Doc will extend. That angle is a good promo.

Winning actual games is so 1999, recruiting titles is where it’s at.

John got schooled..AGAIN

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

I think UAB wins the West if they beat USM this week

Didn't hurt us in the WKU game. Just sayin

 

[herdalicious]

Down two bodies, the best O-Line in C-USA wasn't, and I think we saw that without that element to our offense, our power runner gets stopped and our Freshman QB gets exposed.

I wouldn't worry about Charlotte being able to play on a short turn, I'd worry more on how many people we will be down Friday due to COVID.

So you're saying we'll be short on starters again on Friday? How many?

I'll make a Fever style bet that Josh Ball won't play.

That’s just it they weren’t stopping our run. Knox was averaging 4.9 YPC at halftime on only 7 carries. Only 2 of the 7 were less than 4 yards. We just abandoned it for no reason.

Tarik Adams was one of the replacement tackles, he’s started almost 40 games in his career here.

 

[riflearm2]

The confusing part was going for it on 4th-and-10 on Marshall's opening drive and not attempting a 44 yard field goal.

Ciucci is 6-8 on field goals with a long of 43 yards. Was he not available for the game? And then, of course, not coaching your receiver to know that he can't run a 9 yard out route when you need 10 yards.

 

[herdalicious]

We've got one kicker with a boot but no accuracy, and one with accuracy but no boot.

I wonder what the record for most kickoffs out of bounds in a single season is.

I’d like to see that record for consecutive games. I believe we are up to 4 in a row

Kid had to get the record when he kicked three in one game.

 

[ilmherdfan]

We need the punter back so he can handle kickoffs
