(Sorry, had limited net connectivity in NJ. Can you say AOL by dial-up?. Here's what I was writing Sunday morning after the BC game but couldn't get posted.)
Is it Thanksgiving weekend already? Boy that was reminiscent of several trips we've taken to LA during the Davie and Willingham era. Complete lack of anything on offense.
Don put it as well as I can. Can't hate on the defense for only giving up 10 points during game totally played on a short field. Although after BC went up 17-0, they really went totally vanilla on offense. They didn't look like they were trying to score at all after that. Just wanted to eat some clock, avoid mistakes, let the defense take over. And why not? A great strategy the way we were playing.
And here's the frustrating part. When we got the ball early in the 4th quarter down 17, I was still saying to myself, "OK, we can still get in this thing and make it interesting". I really believed that. Silly me. JC really thinks he's invincible; some of his INTs were in to triple coverage. And how was BC getting so much pressure with 3- and 4-man rushes? Horrible. For the third season in a row, our O-line proves to be the Achilles Heel of the team.
And you know what's really scary? How many of you were flipping to the Florida and Texas Tech games during ours? Wow. What a difference in offensive execution. Is chasmic a word? If not, it should be, because that describes the gap between our offense and some of the Big 12 offenses. And Florida's too, by the way.
Oh well, I'm finishing this Saturday morning. Navy game starts in 50 minutes, so I'd better get over it and move on.
GO IRISH!!!! BEAT MIDDIES!!!!
