You have to get yards to set up a third down and a makeable distance. Failing to convert on an extremely risky FG all but guaranteed a long FG attempt by a remarkably poor kicker. BC needed to score a TD in that situation and may have done so if they stuck to the run, esp. after running the ball down FSU's throat pretty much the entire drive.Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-30290010025886301482014-11-24T16:26:42.461-05:002014-11-24T16:26:42.461-05:00The trick play was stupid.

Thank goodness however that we have so many posters on here with crystal balls who knew what the eventual outcome would've been had we scored!<br /><br />Lottery numbers please...<br /><br />It was stupid because Murphy was wide open and a converted QB didn't make an easy throw...that's why it was low percentage and, thus, stupid. He put too much air under it and allowed the safety to make-up ground. <br /><br />Especially after pounding that worn out defense for eight minutes! Eight! <br /><br />Anyway, leave it to Eagleboston to put it all in perspective. Where's the nearest roof? <br /><br />Been very impressed with the staff's ability to put tough losses behind them and compartmentalize. A season-ending win would be further proof that the coaches are preaching a good message.<br /><br />CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-52492991439551037002014-11-24T16:14:50.327-05:002014-11-24T16:14:50.327-05:00I just can't believe how much better off we ar...I just can't believe how much better off we are at this point compared to 2 years ago.<br /><br />Debating whether or not a trick play late in the game against the undefeated, defending national champion, #1/#3 ranked team in the nation would have won it or not is SO much more fun than crying in our beer after yet another humiliating loss about how hopeless the future seemed under Spaz.<br /><br />Thank you Brad Bates!

The staff saved it for the biggest moment of the biggest game all year. I bet when they called it they thought Murph would be wide open. It had been well set up by all the sweeps to that point. It just missed. <br /><br />You have to give the FSU DC credit, his guys didn't bite and stayed home on Murph. That shows they respected us and prepared accordingly. There's a reason they are the defending champs.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-23883719968910070422014-11-24T15:53:09.942-05:002014-11-24T15:53:09.942-05:00Please..... the gripes on the trick play call are ...Please..... the gripes on the trick play call are ridiculous. Daz knew they needed a touchdown. If they hit the field goal does anyone not think that FSU would not have scored a touchdown at the end? FSU played for the field goal and had plenty of time to score the td. BC was not going to stuff it down FSU's throat as they got closer to the red zone. They had not completed a pass inside the 30 all day. Great call. That was the imagination that everyone calls for.<br />Thrown a second earlier its is caught and maybe he gets to the end zone. If they don't score a touchdown on the play they end up with a filed goal and lose anyway.CATTAKEIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324374964327167332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-59025927833435137522014-11-24T14:59:49.227-05:002014-11-24T14:59:49.227-05:00EB

We will have a bunch of good backs returning. Yes we will have a new QB, but he is in the mold of the dual threat type. Just like we've been doing I don't think he'll have to throw much. On D I expect us to continue to upgrade the athletes there, so we should be better. We play all the teams we beat on the road this year at Alumni next year. So I think we should continue to do as we've been doing, and then in 16&17 make the move to the top of the division. Of course if we loose Daz all bets are off. First thing Bates should do after the season is give Daz a new deal.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-6640548155674707902014-11-24T13:34:10.785-05:002014-11-24T13:34:10.785-05:00There's a world of difference between not comp...There's a world of difference between not completing the Bordner-to-Murphy gadget play and not completing a conventional Murphy-to-any-receiver play. One was the thrower's second pass attempt this year and the intended receivers first receiving attempt in ... how many years? Since high school perhaps.<br /><br />If Murphy had caught the ball, my second thought would've been, "Day really got away with one there." <br /><br />I applauded the earlier reverse pass (Bordner's first pass attempt of the year), but the second trick call was just wrong.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-51180306292495884282014-11-24T12:48:10.103-05:002014-11-24T12:48:10.103-05:00I just noticed that BC has played the 23rd toughes...I just noticed that BC has played the 23rd toughest schedule in the country so far this year. I think the results have been pretty impressive considering. Coach Daz mentioned that they have traded Maryland for Louisville and New Mexico State for Colorado State. Those are two real upgrades with the schedule. Looking forward to watching BC respond this weekend and getting back at Syracuse for last year!

We only have 5 O-linemen on the roster. 5! 3 are freshmen and 2 are juniors. We do have several recruits coming in, but O-linemen rarely start as freshmen. I'm hoping we bring in 2-3 grad students to shore up the line roster. We already have to break in a young qb. Tossing them out there with a young and inexperienced line could be a brutal combination.eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-7211720620209499412014-11-23T21:31:07.779-05:002014-11-23T21:31:07.779-05:00The coach will have a big challenge getting the te...The coach will have a big challenge getting the team up for the next game after what happened in Tallahassee.
