donnerstag All-American

Both the offensive line and defensive line got pushed around big time. We weren't winning even with plus skill players.

Portland State was the first game and the coaches were trying out different players who weren't very good.

Ty’s offense was abysmal. It was just absolutely awful.

If coaches can’t adjust scheme for personnel they aren’t good coaches

It’s not can’t...

Dude, he had the chance to run his offense with an NFL QB and RB

No disagreement here. Amen and amen.

And the entire Offensive staff had no real coaching experience to try and adapt

Experience on the offensive coaching staff for 1. More talent on the Oline.

WR's with another year of experience is a big one for me

I also have to believe Grimes will have OL in good shape despite inexperience

I feel like we have been saying this for a couple years now

NacoCoug

Wecve had inexperience on the OL for years?

Mostly the same players, coaching and scheme will be the difference

NorCal_Coug

O-line significantly changed; qb might be. We'll see.

30+ guys missing playing time due to injury. That alone makes last year

Trouble is, we were basically at full strength against Portland St

I thought we played our starters the entire game for Portland State??

bscores2

8/22/18 7:00am

The coaches used a lot of running backs, dlinemen, dbs, linebackers

Even FCS talent managed to score on LSU last year.

Left Shark Coug

8/22/18 7:11am

Their only TD was in the 4th quarter when LSU had pulled their starters

Did you miss the part where there was already a 3 on the board?

Left Shark Coug

8/22/18 7:30am

Yep. Chattanooga drove the length of the field on their first possession and

BerkeleyCoug

8/22/18 7:39am

BYU was manhandled on both sides of the ball

donnerstag

8/22/18 8:02am

So we have lesser talent than FCS schools?

Left Shark Coug

8/22/18 8:06am

No. Are you surprised that BYU came out sluggish?

What about Troy?

BerkeleyCoug

8/22/18 7:32am

Leave it alone. I see now where he's still defending the pathetic showing vs

You do realize Troy won 11 games last year?

An inexperienced and incompetent HC

NorCal_Coug

It was rhetorical.

Actually it was Tom

A first time OC is experienced? I don't think that word means what you think it

ALUF 1990

Your biggest problem is all those OCs still had the same HC.

Left Shark Coug

8/22/18 6:54am

There are more signs or evidence that it’s true...

OK fine. Zero OC experience trumps Zero CFB coaching experience

1) Bad scheme for personnel, 2) Lack of player experience, 3) Injuries, 4)
