What's amazing to me is how much better prepared Vandy looked on both sides of the ball with their roster full of 3* players. They were quick and efficient and executed most plays to perfection. Outside of the opening drive we looked like shit.
Also once it become apparent that Doty wasn't going to lead us to victory shouldn't Noland (A supposedly 5* QB and top 10 recruit back in the day) have been put in to get some meaningful reps. Doty won't be coming back next year (I guess not) and Noland could have gotten some valuable game experience. Oh well...maybe Sellers will be back for the tater tech game.
I turned the game off a few minutes into halftime because I think we have some issues with the offensive coaching staff during games. They left Sellers in the pocket and he got concussed. He screwed up in the red zone where he was used to running the last two games.
Whoever the starting QB ends up being will be okay if he gets the reps for a starting QB in practice, but the offensive staff has to pull their heads out of their asses during our games, too.
Sellers hasn’t been great nor even really good this season. We’ve really had two good looking drives in 3 games offensively. Opening drive vs VT and opening drive vs Vandy. He regressed since the Clemson game last year and played with less confidence and not as fearless as he was leading up to that. Shula is coaching the wrong system for his skill set.
Same. Doty played his first season with a broken foot. You want a veteran QB mindset instead of a first-year QB in there right now. I also think Shane needs to clean up coaching issues this week, too. Before he went down, this looked like a typical game where LaNorris makes some mistakes in the first half, but makes up for them in the second half and we get a solid win.
I agree that Vandy looked much better prepared than we were. I was skeptical about Shula as OC and remain so. I think Beamer liked the continuity with developing Sellers, but I don't find his play calling very creative or inspiring. I hope they both prove me wrong on this. I think we are in for a long season with the schedule ahead.
I think the pollsters will recognize the effect of losing Sellers, which was highlighted by Shane's reaction on the sidelines. We have to get better across the board, but I think most pollsters will give us a week to see if we can bounce back or not. We will obviously drop. It would be a hoot if we come out still ahead of the Taters.
im all for developing sellers, but you have to do that while also giving him more designed runs and rollouts. im not gonna rail on the plan vs vandy because we only had him for 3 series and a play, but one designed qb run during that time isnt enough. sellers first 11 starts he had less than 25 yards rushing in only 2 games. in 4 starts under shula 25 yards rushing or less in every game.
sellers legs won us the clemson game and we see the result of the past 4 games with him not being very productive on the ground. im not sure its the cure all for the offense and team overall but if theres any chance we bounce back it starts with that. with the talent we have on offense to be 106th in the nation in yards per play is a coaching crime.
