Our time man mgmt. and play calling was terrible. We didn’t catch Marshall off guard, a few uptempo plays would’ve helped, nope the entire team is too busy to see what Taggarts calling which is some bs run for zero yards. There’s no creativity, gosh I miss Robison throwing bombs for huge yardage. We should implement the triple option, Tronti’s arm won’t save us at all.
I would love to see Jim Leavitt as the future coach of FAU. His defense is what made USF a power years ago and it’s something our players can thrive in. Our defense will win us another 2 games for sure. Officiating was bad in this game and so was last years Marshall game. Missed calls happen often and we can’t argue it to the league office. Another reason Kiffin left, this conference is a joke.
I think we need out of this conference. Look at our facilities we deserve a move up and what we have done lately win 2 bowl games and conference titles in a few years. Our AD needs to get us out of this crap conference, The sun belt is better this year and have more teams ranked then CUSA. Once the Pac12 plays Marshall will be out of the top 25, strength of schedule is too weak they will say. No kidding we are in CUSA.
With us not playing enough games we might not get into a bowl game unles we win 5 straight. Besides the amazing defense, the offense is very Partridge like and giving me fits. What did you notice or feel about this game and season?

If you take out Tronti’s sacks, the running backs had a good ypc average again. The key was not having our tackles Ettiene and Robinson, who I think are both future all conference players. It was a huge ask to have the offense do well.
The receivers are all transfers, and transfers are hit and miss. While I think they’re talented it takes time to get a productive rotation, especially without Robison.
One thing I thought Tronti needs to improve on is a keeps on bobbling I perfect snaps from the shotgun. Those are not on Weber. It’s obvious that if Shedeur Sanders comes here he should be the starter for the first game in 2021.
I thought it was a game that showed how close we are to having a great team that can eventually do better than 11-3.

The defense if Things keep going in the right direction can be a top 10 scoring defense either this year or future years.

Jim Leavitt is a great defensive mind and I think we can keep this defense going for years to come, defense for the most part is very young. Tronti though does have a great supporting cast and we are one piece away from an undefeated team this year, if we had some decent QB play on Saturday we would have won. Tronti is a great QB for his designed packages like what Lane ran last year and if were able to run him like that we would have success but we do not have a pocket passer like we did last year. I wouldnt give up on Tronti because Marshalls defense is legit but he definitely needs to have better pocket presence and I like the offense needs to play with a little bit more tempo.
The future is very bright though!

Taggart said postgame they didnt go tempo because they were missing so many players. If they went tempo I thought the team would have worn out

Honestly would have rather had the team get worn out then to have the offense stagnant and consistently get no yardage on 1st and 2nd down.

But if we can’t get our starting OL playing then I don’t think we can overcome that offensively. Now Noel is hurt but might play through it.
I do think if Robison was the QB we probably win. But I think Tronti can win games but the Starting OL needs to be starting.

FAU needs to get the tight ends involved. I know they’re undermanned there. But I’d like to see a play like the Logan Peterson TD against Charlotte. Slants, wheel route, etc. Not every pass has to be a curl route or a deep bomb.
