Texas Tech Rewatch (because I want to be depressed more Saturday)
- Thread starter jburke
- Start date
Maybe I'm just too aggressive, but knowing that it was 3rd and 30 at least once if not two times that game, I would've sent the freakin' house on that. Blitz 6 or 7 guys and force a quick throw, not give enough time to send a 40 yard bomb to an open receiver at or beyond the sticks already.
3-0 on the TO battle killed a lot of the straight points out come. Which is uncharactistic of Sam in general. With exception of the last 2 game which now total 5 INT's..... Ouch.... The FG in the 3rd is the most aggrovating play call I have ever seen we had the damn ball on the 1 yard line.... That and on the defensive side when Mahomes did the scramble all over throw to an open Jakeem Grant with 3 mins left in the half.... painfulll.....
I agree. Warren is great and has that big play ability we definitely need. But the other backs are averaging over 4 yards per carry too.
I refuse to believe this Oline is so good at run blocking and god awful at pass blocking so IMO a lot of the responsibility falls on the QB.
Especially with a kicker with no confidence who has missed about 50% of his kicks. Makes zero sense.
Come on now, Wally knows it isn't sporting to not allow the other team's receivers time to run at least 30 yards downfield on a 3rd and 30. This is a civilized game!
The Oline has been Sammys scapegoat for 3 years, this year they've played good enough for us to be competitive. They just get absolutely no help from their QB. Several times every game he wastes great pass blocking with indecision and very poor pocket presence.
The post radio interviews were funny Saturday. They had Warren on gushing about the O-line then Lalk was on gushing about Warren saying that they've never liked blocking for someone so much.
And last year our passing game sucked, but that was because we didn't have a good RB. Now . . . we have a good RB and the passing game is worse, if anything. :twitcy:
One of the best threads I have read on this forum. Comments are educated football posts.
The three man rush was killing ISU all day. Go and rate the plays where isu sent a 4th or 5th player....better results every time I watched.
To me the turning point was the 2nd and three in tech territory. We throw a 3 yard out incomplete. (Stupid call for many reasons.) Then we take a shot with bund rage and he is out of bounds. Rhoads then kicks a field goal. Game was over then.
As another poster commented the dbacks and linebackers were flat footed all day. That was due to poor game planning. If you want them to be aggressive you can't coach passively. I like Wally and think he is a very good coach but the game planning for tech was one of the worst I have seen. Ditch it early in the game if it's not working.
Baylor and Oklahoma will do the same things as tech. Change the game plan now.
The team has promise. Richardson has lost confidence especially as the game wears on. Heat him up... rotate Lanning in and quit playing for field goals.
I don't know where Rhoads lost his understanding of needing to be aggressive at isu but he needs to lose that conservative way of thinking.

More than going for the FG is when we missed that attempt, that is the worst feeling, great drive going, potential momentum change and no points to show.
Yeah, he is not taking any changes anymore almost like he has accepted his fate......
We think he has nothing to lose but we don't know his level of delusion. Sometimes when put in a corner people fight or they freeze. Looks like CPR is freezing.
