  • Good win for the herd. They played hard, and Pennington, just having a possibility of a deep ball and passer makes them defend and really opened up some room for Ali. Plus that wildcat look.

    Overall good game, defense played well too.

    The QB change may allow us to get to a bowl afterall!

    Ali should have slid down though. They let him score.

  • Way to go Herd. Nice win. Cole wasn't perfect, but he did enough. Hopefully Huff will see that he needs to start next week.

    Hahaha. This is honestly a possibility. It's that double edged sword. Somehow i still want us to get a bowl game, as much as i want huff gone.

    j
    None better than his hustle and effort in recovering TWO KEY fumbles while we were on O late in the game.  Sure that the Coaching Staff doesn't want him risking injury by doing that too often.   But I got to believe Cole truly well knows the real meaning of "Playing for the 75'!!!

  • It is hard to believe how well the Herd defense played and yet yielded so many points. They made the difference. For all the crap this board has leveled at the coaching staff, a lot of it deserved, implementing the Wildcat was huge.

    Well said. In all fairness, those of have been critical of the coaching, me included, should be willing to give credit when due.  The Wildcat, halfback passes, and. other offensive wrinkles were key in this game.  Hopefully we will see more in the remaining two games.

    I feel the same way. I'd like to see us get a bowl in order to get Cole the extra practice time, however I also want Huff gone.

    I agree, the changes were paramount, and perhaps represent the concept of "change when change is necessary".  No doubt they waited too long to modify what is done and who does it, but in all honesty, it must be very difficult to start a game with four of your back seven on defense being first year players, starting with the 6th game of the year.ach
    I doubt there will be a coaching change for a couple reasons, here's mine"
    1> The schedule, I think Spears takes a part of this years' result on himself due to the schedule change with NCST, and accepting the schedule within the conference.  It was ridiculous, IMHO, to have one home game on a Thursday in a five week span.  This shouldn't happen to any coach.
    2> The budget, I'm expecting that the coaching choices has a lot to do with the budget choices.  You can't hire highly experienced coaches on first year coaches salaries.  We were fortunate with Guidry, he was in a rebounding condition and it paid off for him.
    3> The third one does fall to Huff, his choice of building a team around the portal; not giving himself and his staff time to build a well-oiled machine with replacement parts.  With so many injured players, the replacements were just plainly not prepared to perform at the level necessary to win against teams in the SBC.  IMHO, this league is for real, really good coaches and really loaded with talented players.  Huff's experience leaves him limited in terms of knowing how and when to adapt and adopt with the coaches he is competing against.

  • The importance of this win, besides The 75 Week, is getting bowl eligible. It was good/encouraging to see the changes on offense. I only wonder what took Huff so long to make necessary changes in personnel and play calling.

  • As down as most of you are on Huff, he had the guys ready to go. The offense looks like it was tailored to fit the strengths of Pennington which was nice to see. Just wondering why they have not called stuff to suit Cam all year. They did the same thing last year with Colombi/Cam. It makes no sense to me at all. Pennington benefited from the guys around him stepping up and making some plays as well which any QB needs to be successful. Ali had his best game of the year I thought. Chewing up yards and was not just homerun or nothing like he has been all year. Overall good performance and a much needed win. Time will tell if the made changes bring continued success or not, but seems like things may be headed in the right direction.
