Game 10 Ark State

Hot damn, this thread is spicy! I like the passion from both sides. It’s been another frustrating, hopefully we can get a few wins under our belt next year.

You ain't kidding! Watching one arrogant dick call out another arrogant dick for being an arrogant dick is quite humorous.

Some numbers that jumped right out of the box score: UMass ran 94 offensive plays to ASU's 42, and had 41:30 of possession time compared to 18:30. One week, at least, when the defense wasn't spending far too much time on the field.

Exactly DirSport. Some stats that jumped out to me: our D held the Red Wolves to 0-8 on 3rd down conversion attempts; we had 200 yds more of total offense than the Red Wolves and 25 1st downs for UMass to 11 for ASU. Ridiculous that we didn't win this game.

I'll never understand why we were throwing the ball on the 2 yd line. Throwing from the 2 is difficult. Olsen predictably got picked. Just bring in the heavy package and run the ball in from the 2. If you don't make it - take the FG. Had we done so we likely would've won the game.

That's on Casula.

Painful loss…the kids gave an admirable effort…on the positive side, we played the #115 rated FBS team tough on the road…maybe this elevates us up from #131, the bottom position in the FBS rankings, above pitiful Akron who currently stands at #130…let’s hope so, being crowned the lowest rated FBS program 4 consecutive years is an indignity we need to avoid…next year Arkansas State is one of the 6 very winnable games on the schedule…The upcoming Army game at McGuirk will be tough, they played a solid Troy team to a standstill on the road today and narrowly lost 10-9.

My main observation is you hit the nail on the head: UMass's problems are structural (meaning we are putting square pegs into round holes). No matter who we bring in as HC, we still suck. and you were right: all the HC and coordinators had credible resumes prior to their getting hired. I have to ask: unless and until you pay the kids for their performance with incentives; what if anything can UMass football do to win a game?

I like them going at it.
