I came 1100 miles to see this. It hurts, but it's a good thing we still have a chance.

I honestly can't believe how often the play call is "Blakenship up the middle". IT. ISN'T. WORKING. Change the freakin play

It's like the coaches never watch video to create a game plan. They only run plays that never work and keep playing a QB who sucks right now and is only the starter because he had a good season 2 years ago.

Where did you get Beau to the right and left?  It's Beau up the middle.

Until TT holds onto the ball and runs some this play will not be a consistently good one.  Gets back to personnel...we do NOT have a dominant line blocking for BB.  And, seriously, did we run wide more than once the whole day?  This offense is not the least bit creative.

Agree bigtime  WIthout the threat of TT keeping it for an around ender, we are decidedly averave on the offense.

It could be worse.

Triple option right.  Triple option left.

Why has no one in the press asked Solich why our QB that rushed for 650 yards and 10 TD's in 2011, has -1 yard rushing through 6 games this season.

Even last season, when he was obviously hurt, he ran for 250 yards and 4 TD's.

Is it too much to ask to get a GD explanation?!

When you start shaking your head out of disgust, it appears he is also going left and right.

For 8.5 seasons we've seen the same playcalling.  1st down.  RB up the middle.  Too frequent result: 2nd and 8 or 9 or 10  or 11.

Let's begin logging a new stat.  Called it Wasted Downs.

Whatever. Beau to the right, Beau to the left and Beau up the middle! Spelled his name correctly and the plays still didn't work.

Scored 23 points and left three scores on the field. Minus the turnovers, it was a good offensive game. I know everyone hates when the runs up the middle fail but I think they serve a purpose in keeping the defense from sitting back and double covering Foster and Cochran.

Something has changed with this offense though. Not just the players but the approach. You can't run read option over and over again when there is no option. Remember all of the misdirection stuff a few years ago? Remember the little toss play wher theball was flipped to the back? I think we saw it once yesterday. Yesterday was frustrating to watch.

I was listening to the game on XTQ while at the stadium, and between outages for technical difficulties Russell and Robert kept talking about TT having a shoulder injury.  Then in the post-game there was talk about his having a mild ankle sprain.  Not sure what it was, but it seems that we had a mobility-restricted QB once again.  He very seldom was a serious running threat.  I told the guy who sits next to me during the halftime break that I wouldn't be surprised to see Vick start the second half.  It didn't happen, and Vick got no snaps at all.  I'm certainly no coach, but I can't help but think that we'd have done better in the second half offensively with Vick at the wheel.  I hope we are not getting into the rut we were last year during the second half of the season where we restrict our play book to accommodate an injured TT.  All that said, I thought he had flashes of brilliance during the game.
