Last night at the stadium I came to the sad conclusion we have more than our share of fans that just don't know much about football and are clearly rooting for Mac and team to fail.
Hicks runs like I have never seen him before most of the game and the first time (and there was no hole) he stutter steps looking for one fans around me are ripping him. If Stevie runs like he did last night all year we will be good and he will get 1,000.
Meyer completes 8 passes in a row to start the game and the first miss people are ******** that he threw it behind him.
Special teams and turnovers give Toledo field position three times with a short field and we hold them to 23 points in regulation and people say our defense is horrible. We play the Skaldany contain and prevent defense which we also played last year at MU and NU which the scheme has our LB's playing off and people say we have lousy linebackers. Guys these guys are going to be very good. They close faster than any LB's we have had and it is not close. Wait until you see these guys in a game where the scheme isn't to "keep in front and let them make a mistake".
We didn't have a pass rush, yet when we needed it. When all they needed was 10 yards for a game winning field goal in the last 2 minutes of the game, our freshman came up with two game saving sacks and on the post game show fans are slamming our freshman saying they didn't live up to expectations.
Mac takes a great time out to force them to punt and risk a bad snap and us having field position for the win with 25 seconds left. They get a good snap so the smart play from your own 11 especially with the new clock rules is to run out the clock. 99% of coaches in country make same call yet our fans booed.
Do I where Cardinal colored glasses sometimes of course. That is what real fans do. Last night I was embarrassed by the behavior of our fans and no longer will I rip on Hawk fans for their episodes of lunacy
