I saw one of the infographics say Doc was like 36-2 with a lead at halftime. I was very impressed by that stat if true.
The game was 31-3 at the half and 34-3 early in the fourth.. and that was with three scores taken off the board in less than a quarter.
Missed two field goals (37 and 38 yards)
Had a TD pass called back on a chop block.
Litton finished with 490 yards passing and only played 3 qtrs.
But dont let the actual events of the game get in the way of the "we cant finish, why don't we win by 70" nonsense again this week.
you guys can throw out any number of excuses as to why we didn't score the second half, but please stop pretending we were not trying. we were throwing the ball all 3rd quarter and still chucking it with 3 minutes to go in the 4th. we went for it on 4th down with 5:34 to go in the 3rd. we also went for it on 4th down with 2:51 to go in the game... and it was a pass play.
as several have pointed out (and been drug over hot coals for their heresy), we executed pretty crappy the entire second half of the game...
Yeah...looking at it from one end of the spectrum is easy.
You know there are 2 main parts to a game of football...offense and defense. The offense wasn't scoring, despite trying to...but neither was UNCC's offense, because our defense was absolutely kicking their asses.
Game was in control...end of story.
So when we get a big lead we shut down, can anyone tell me a logical reason why that is a bad thing?
Thanks- You are correct - English was by far my worse subject in school and on my ACT. I taught math so that I could "elude" English.blevins it is "alluding" and not "eluding." Two different words and two different meanings. Not trying to be a smartass just saying to help.
Lack of testosterone? Age? Attracted to animals, not women?
C'mon! Nothing? Really? Not even a "good try"?
The way to determine if we shut/slowed down is how many times we went downfield in the third quarter. We had the hottest duo in all of college football yesterday. How many times did we try to connect them in each quarter.
Because we didn't score 45 points in the second half of a game that was clearly over at half, duh! lol.
Bleeds nails it...
especially like the question about this year "shutting it down" vs last year. maybe Doc's heart grew 3 sizes in the off season...
or maybe we have been shut down the last couple of games in the 2nd half........
Maybe we did get shut down, but there is zero evidence that will happen when we play middle or even WKU.
It would seem to me the fact that we have failed to play well in the 2nd half of games vs some of the absolute bottom teams in the nation is quite solid evidence that it is a trend and may likely happen against the remaining teams we play with a pulse.
Some of you are so giddy with the final result of 8-1 that's all you truly care about. That's fine, but to use that mentality and say we have nothing to be concerned about simply because we are 8-1 is just lying to yourself.
It is also telling that Vegas doesn't think we will win, because they go beyond the 8-1 record and use the evidence we have laid out for them to make their assessment.
Clearly the joke went over your head.
