Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The thing I was most wrong about this season...)

It was a 17-point deficit with a minute to go until Buechele threw a meaningless touchdown pass.
Maryland lead by 20 in the second quarter and 17 until the final minute.
stop. Let's not pretend like American kids shoplifting from a high end retail shop in China on a goodwill trip is the same as you are me stealing a pack of baseball cards when we were 15.
Just the one series where he threw the touchdown pass and the final series of the game, which was just taking a knee on one play.
I think it’s unfair to judge the improvement, or lack thereof, of this team without mentioning the losses up front and injuries at the QB spot. With all things being constant, I would agree with you but it is not.
Pretty obvious that some people with big opinions have never coached before.
I’ll give you the best coach in the world. Heck the 10 best coaches in the world and I’ll take the best “Jimmy & Joe’s”

Name the players on offense that have made continued progress all-season long.
Maryland led by 3 going into the 4th quarter. After Williams had two holding penalties and we turn the ball over on downs while down by 10 Maryland scored with 2:08 to lead by 17. 1:09 left and we scored to make it 10 again. So they only led by 17 for 59 seconds in the 4th quarter.
Perfect. @Ketchum take note. We will work out details after nsd.
That is my point, it’s hard to have progress on offense with the amount of losses on the offensesive line and two different starting quarterbacks. Your offense as s whole pretty much stops and starts with those two components.
Tristan Nickelson. You didn't specify the direction.
When 5 OL Cannot protect against a 3 man rush that is what you call a clue. When whoever cannot tell the difference between two good freshman running backs and two who cannot gain a yard on a paper wall, that is another clue. Time, good recruiting and good coaching will fix the OL problem. One cannot fix stupid and that is the situation with whoever makes the decision on which running backs to play. We also have great WR talent that has been somewhat squandered. Our HC needs to take the bull by the horns and kick some butt staff wise. We looked like crap against Kansas and there is no other way to put it. If we play that way against West Virginia, we are looking at a genuine butt kicking to the tune of about 41-17. Tom, it is time you stepped up to get this fragile ship turned around. The buck stops at your office door.
If you are inferring that this isn't a well coached team, then I disagree. If you are inferring that progress on the offensive side of the ball has been disappointing, then I do agree.
I do think that we need to keep some things in perspective. There isn't one player starting on our offensive line that would start for any of the teams above us. For all of the Charlie lovers, he didn't recruit squat on the O-line. Frankly, Mack didn't do well either in the latter years.
You guys need to accept the level of athletes that we have. There is a reason we have had 3 losing seasons in a row.......Let's give this staff time to fill the pipeline, then decide whether they can coach.

Yeah this is correct, I actually thought we were going to come back and get the w at that point.
Why? When the offense was so lack luster, why only one series? Him playing 2 series makes no sense. If he's hurt, then he shouldn't have played at all. Especially in a game where it' wasn't essential that he play. If he's not hurt, then he should be playing the whole game.
Coming from a student, the lack of student attendance at games is the university's fault. Those wristband lines are on the opposite side of the stadium and can take over an hour to wait in and many of the students see the lines and leave. I've also seen many students every game being kicked out of wide open sections because they do not have the correct wristbands even though there is no one else within a 20 foot radius of them and the security takes their job way too seriously. The wristband policy is destroying the student section
I wasn't able to watch the game on Sat... but you would think we lost on Saturday. So negative.
