Harsin really didn’t call a bad game on offense. His worst sequence was:
Tank run for 8 yards on first down.
Incomplete
Incomplete
Incomplete

That fateful drive concluded all offensive series’ this season but there was one drop. I would’ve liked to milk some more Tank though.

What are your thoughts?

Not kicking the field goal was fricking moronic.

Harsin was fine. If Jeremy Johnson connects on a few of those deep balls we win easy.

Also if we learn how not to target.

I agree but I don't think the play calls were bad it was the execution of the plays. The fourth down pass was bad but it hit Hudson in the hands.

I know for a fact when we kicked the FG against Penn State that was deemed moronic too. That’s a judgment-personal opinion imo.

A: Coach goes for it on fourth down and fails, “Dude is a moron”

B: Coach doesn’t go for it, “Dude is a moron”


For A, see reaction to Harsin
For B, see reaction to Gus

CBH has to understand when to get points or play it safe, and when to be aggressive. That would be my biggest point of emphasis from a game perspective.

I don’t have a problem going for it when he did. It’s not like our kicker is automatic.

With Bo Nix as your QB on the road? Go for it.

With TJ Finley as your QB basically at home? Take the points.

But points aren’t a given with Carlson out

I’m actually impressed with our kicker. Hasn’t he been automatic

There is no optimistic note.

5th straight loss.

Tank runs for 8 and then we fail to get 1 more yard.

Scored 1 TD for the entire game.

Sorry, this is just misery and failure across the board.

I don't even think that was a bad sequence. The three times we ran the ball with 3rd and 2 yards or less we got completely stuffed, so it's not like we were most likely to get the first running the ball.

He called a solid game, we just don't have a competent QB. Which is on him if we don't have a competent QB next year.

Pay $$$$$$ for big time recruits and get better. Tank was our leading receiver and rusher today. He can’t keep taking a beating and doing it all on his own. Spend the money and get big name recruits at all positions.

Seriously? Constantly throwing on short yardage downs was crazy. It wasn’t working and we were getting good yards running off tackle.

No plays over the middle. Either deep or outside.

TJ was fricking horrible. If he is the guy next year, we won’t win 5 games.

Coaches are rated in their calls. Not kicking early was the wrong call.

Smoke getting that second targeting call, saying 2nd cause he got lucky on the first one, probably cost us the game. I respect him coming back but that 50 yard penalty killed us.

Was less optimistic than I was.

We were sometimes successful running the ball, but the OL was never going to let the running attack control the game. Not to mention inefficient QB play hampers the running game as the defense doesn’t have to respect the pass. I thought we did a good job using Tank in the passing game as well. .

We targeted Shenker, and Landon King on more passes in the middle than you think.

We left at least 4 touchdowns off the scoreboard as well. That was on execution. I would’ve taken more plays away from Finley and distributed more to our 2 backs, but overall a pretty decent scheme

The only optimistic note is that the season is over. The offense sucks.

And that’s your opinyun man. Offense sucks because talent sucks. It’s been that way all year long.
