"I don't know what goes on in the minds of the guys," defensive end Trey Hendrickson said. "It almost seems like they're laying off the pedal, their minds are already in the locker room."
That is, to me, the biggest coaching mistake we make - we let the guys take their heads out of the game. X's and O's are usually there, it seems, but we're soft team that doesn't fight to win.

I thought this was a telling statement in the Sun Sentinel:

That's all you need to hear, but this is no mystery you can tell when the layers get to the sideline with just heads hanging low and expecting to lose.
No fire at all on D it's almost like they are playing not to lose.
Once that type of attitude gets into a program you have to start over because it will only get worse.

As a Coach you have to be ready for THEIR half time adjustments and be prepared to change your attack to something new in the 2nd half. We either don't do that or just take a nap at halftime, something!

Marshall scored TEN points in the second half last year, including its last score of a FG with 9:46 to go in the 4th qtr. to make it a 13 point game. Not sure where the 'running the score up' comment came from, but that's obviously false.Posted On: Oct 12th 2016, 1:27 PM #360985
Trying to run up the score…clarification noted.

Yea with all the injuries and young QB's I put no blame on Trickett.
We haven't blown any doors off put we have up enough points to win like Delt said.Posted On: Oct 12th 2016, 10:32 AM #360981
Old Dominion held Charlotte to 17 points, Eastern Michigan held them to 19 points. Were not talking UCF, were talking C-USA and a Mac team. Charlotte had over 200 yards rushing. FIU had 270 yards rushing. Ball state had 226 yards rushing.

We are the worst 4th quarter offense in the nation. That is why we lost the last three games.Posted On: Oct 12th 2016, 6:20 PM #360998

GO OWLS!

No we are losing because our defense cant stop the run and our opponents can just run out the clock..literally.
Our offense cant score if they cant get on the field more than once or twice in the 4th quarter.
