Yes, had all 3 timeouts, no need to throw every play, but that has been MO under Vigen.

Defense: The series with young Grebe was encouraging. Need to play him more. I would start him, kid impressed me in two plays. Other than that glimpse of enthusiasm for the D they need to play better.catscat wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:39 pmHope we bring up those grades in the second half.luckyirishguy25 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:35 pmHalftime grades
Pass O - D
Run O - A
Pass D - D
Run D - C
Offense: RUN THE BALL, get Tommy out of the pocket and let him work. The running game will continue to open up the passing game as it did on the second scoring drive.
Only thing better than watching the gris lose is when the Cats win

Multiple PI calls. The only passes the UNM QB has not completed were when he made the wrong read or was inaccurate. Not sure there has been a single pass defended.luckyirishguy25 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:41 pmYeah its pretty bad today.

Three time outs and clock stops to reset chains. That was a drive where running was 1000% an option.tetoncat wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:42 pmYes, had all 3 timeouts, no need to throw every play, but that has been MO under Vigen.

Re: The Offical-unofficial Bobcat—UNM Lobo gameday thread!
Without Rylan Ortt this would be ugly Defensively! I will keep banging the drum that our LB’s are the key to how this D goes. We need BobbyD to dial in the LB’s. McCade has made a play or two, but Danny is invisible. Not sure if the injury messed with his head, but he needs some fire. Okay done with this rant…
We can win this game, but it will hinge on the Defensive adjustments and IF we stick to running first and throwing second!

Doesn't mean you run to start the drive. If you run for 4 yards on the 1st play you either burn a TO or 15-20 seconds if you get a call in fairly quick. Nothing wrong with how they called that drive to start.tetoncat wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:42 pmYes, had all 3 timeouts, no need to throw every play, but that has been MO under Vigen.

Defense needs to dial it in…. Been pretty uninspiring.
Offense should continue to roll.

Humphrey goes for 8-12 yards in first down and you’d be singing a different tune.BleedingBLue wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:45 pmNope, not to start the drive.gris_h8er wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:44 pmThree time outs and clock stops to reset chains.

We really need to tackle better. Is getting pressure not good because of their huge OL?

Dial in the LBs by playing young Grebe more kid is a stud. Hustles and makes plays. I would start him right now.catsrback76 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:44 pmWithout Rylan Ortt this would be ugly Defensively! I will keep banging the drum that our LB’s are the key to how this D goes.

Lack of pressure looks to be trying to get pressure with 4 guys.

Another bright spot…Brandon Hall is crushing it. Average on punts is over 50 and zero kickoff returns!

And? We were 70 yards from the EZ.

We blitzed on the one 3 and out we had in the second quarter I'm pretty sure.
