Where to start?

[BrownBear9501]

Say what you want but last year’s run was the anomaly of the past six years. The expectation in this watered down FCS is that the Griz get to the championship or it is a huge disappointment. Maybe those are unfair expectations but it is the reality. Something needs to change…..the step back from last year is alarming.

The line of scrimmage. Thats where you start. Our offensive and defensive lines are outmanned way too often when we play good teams.

I guess you start by actually starting then.

I really think a younger more energetic coaching staff is needed.

0 adjustments by offensive coordinators. Run the fucking ball between the tackles. Control the ball, keep it out of MSUs hands. That was embarrassing.

That’s the point, ain’t it? This isn’t happening in a vacuum. I don’t know… part of me wants to blow it up and start from scratch because what we have now ain’t working.

Or throw a pass down the field and quit throwing wheel routes and screen passes that continually go incomplete or no yardage

Truly puzzling play calling. So many weapons on offense it is not funny. D honestly did not play that bad considering how long they were on the field.

Absolutely 100% agree.

More than once this year, the defense played good enough to keep us in the game. However, the offense was no where to be found; start there. We have some great talent on O but can't do anything with it without upgrading our big uglies. AND, play calling. Upgrading the big uglies on D would help as well.

Play calling lost the game. No doubt in my mind. So sad to experience last year running the ball to set up the pass. This year the coaches have amnesia and can’t seem to figure anything out.

I'm not sure why today is so shocking to people. UM has been out-coached in nearly every game this year. We didn't score in an entire half against the worst defense in FCS.

Long developing plays like that would have more than likely resulted in a sack today.

 

[AKGriz72]

Old outdated schemes, play calling, in game adjustments, improper use of talent, poor preparation.

Realistically Fife had no time to throw. Amd his passes were aften at the feet of receivers. So I don't know how playcalling fixes that.

It’s not “shocking” per se. It’s just the culmination of a season’s worth of handwringing and dread.

They were at the feet of his receives precisely BECAUSE he had no time to throw. Could have had [insert stud QB name here] and it wouldn’t have mattered today.

...exactly we were living in denial thinking the Griz were finally clicking on all cylinders going
into the Cats/playoffs and Bobby was saving the best for last....and then realty set in....Griz played
pretty much what they played all year....this year reminded me of a Stitt year...lots of talent but out
of sync.....

I literally know NO ONE who thought we were “clicking on all cylinders”. Did you not watch the PSU game? Or the Davis game?
