This is pretty much the sanest sports forum I visit (and the only one I post on) so it bugs me to see a meltdown on here. Now with that said, I will explain my take on the game.
It was a terrible performance by most of our players.
It saddens me that any quarter back blunders are so obvious, while the other blunders deserve equal mention.
First. I thought JPW looked real;ly crisp to start the game. Actually, around the third pass attempt. I was yelling at the recievers to catch the darn football. Of course, the coverage was good, but some of those passes shouldve been caught.
A good note, we ran better today. Sadly our OLine traded their pass blocking skills for run blocking skills. To many times I saw missed assignments or poor blocking that forced an errant throw(both of those that glare out are plays that couldve been TDs)
Deffensively, I thought we did good till the end. I was just shocked on that one running play when Prince Hall and two others were just around the running back, but no one TRIED to make the play.
Then at the end, John Parker Wilson seemed to lose all confidence in his team. Thats what him hesitating to throw and rushing the ball should tell you. Heck, why not? It didnt feel to me like the team was playing to win.
Oh bright spot : Tiffin is just getting better and better.
But yes, the players didnt play, and the opportunities to win were there and ALL the guys on the field choked. That said, I feel blaming one position or one coach for this loss is wrong.
You know what I would like to see? Us as fans take this loss with grace. Mississippe State is a team we shouldnt have lost too, but they are improving, and we also did alot to lose today too. We arent good enouogh to overcome poor execution and turnovers like some teams. We lost, hats off to them, now lets get ready for next week and Auburn.
