Outplayed and out coached today.
We need a new OC bad. He #$@&^*!ing sucks at play calling.
Wasted two running plays on the one- lost a minute.

Why can't we get guys like Hull?  Gilliam is a big loss today....hearing lower leg issues Objectively, AA is much better than Hull. We are fine at WR. We need to trade OC's. |

4crusader3 I'm not sure I ever complained about recruiting lately. That said - if I have then I apologize and it's a deal - as long as you stop complaining about Chesney, the coaching staff, and the direction of the program. I think you should amend your deal to allow for complaining about the OC. He is just terrible and no one should be prohibited (by private agreement or otherwise) from saying so. |

Again- I support HC through wins or losses; thick or thin. I gave both knees and weird shaking disorder to the program. I played for Allen. I liked TG. I like Chesney. I hate our OC. He is a joke and should not be near a D-1AA playcall.
Our offense stinks. If Cozier is pushing 7 ypc, why is getting 16 carries. Murphy should be on a high school sideline. PERIOD.
I assumed we would run a weak PL. after watching the offense today- I don’t know if we’ll beat Lehigh, Colgate, Fordham or GT.
If Chesney does not fire this OC (and soon), I may not like Him any more.

Yale (Fordham flying high, coming back to earth)
Colgate (a low scoring slug fest)
GTown (playing like the best team in the PL this year)
Holy Cross (need to be the best team in the PL this year).

Point 3 is your opinion (to which you are entitled) not an established fact. PERIOD. Scoring two offensive touchdowns in 12 quarters of football would lead most to believe that the OC isn't a very good play caller. Not believe. It is empirical evidence thereof. |

Joe - not sure I understand your position. Cuse will be slightly larger (1" and 10-15 pounds or so on average), and slightly faster (.1 in the 40 or so on average). They will have much more depth. They will have more team skill. However, they are not super mutants. They will win, probably without a sweat. The only reasons they will win easily are: team depth (they have 10 great players or each one of our great players) and our offensive coaching. We have players that would get PT there and they have players on the bench that would not start at HC. You are so definite in your qualitative and quantitive analysis of comparative size, speed, depth and overall quality of the players. Offensive coaching as a factor integral to our losing to SU? Isn't that a bit of a gratuitous insult ? How do you know? How can you be so definitive in your opinion? In your opinion... Peace. LoveHC At this point, I assume you have this response on a separate doc and just paste it in to every post. What type of quantitative analysis would you like to see, the size of each player's foot compared to their positional counterparts? I believe the basis of the likely to get "injured" is size and speed, i.e. excessive force in a given collision is a basis for injury (excepting non-contact injuries that affect teams indiscriminately) If we can agree that: A. Every player on the field for either team (or any given game in FBS or FCS) weighs between about 175 - 315 (with a few exceptions) and every player on the field runs a 40 from 4.3/4.4 - 5.1/5.2 and have similar cone drill times ranges; and B. F = M x A Then: C. One team is not playing with much more force than the other team and thus is not more likely to result in contact caused injury But that is just my analysis. These are not opinions. These are facts: 1. They have more depth and team skill (across the board). 2. Their players are slightly bigger and/or slightly faster and/or slightly better on average than our players. Their LB's are not running 4.3 /40's. Their starting RB is not running a 4.1/40 weighing 225 lbs. Their linemen are not 400 lbs. They are just slightly "more" (on average) and there are more of them. PERIOD. 3. Our offensive coordinator is a terrible play-caller. PERIOD. |

It's the 10-15 lb average size difference that has me concerned, especially the guys who bring that average up They can only play 11 at a time. Of their 11 rostered OL weighing over 300lb, they only start 3. Their starting skill players on offense are all under 200, except QB at 212. Starting LB's are from 200-225. s3.amazonaws.com/suathletics.com/documents/2019/9/23/Holy_Cross.pdf |

HC players are at no greater risk of getting injured against Syracuse than they are against the following week's opponent, Bucknell. Yeah. Ok. Joe - not sure I understand your position. Cuse will be slightly larger (1" and 10-15 pounds or so on average), and slightly faster (.1 in the 40 or so on average). They will have much more depth. They will have more team skill. However, they are not super mutants. They will win, probably without a sweat.

Arguably, there is less of a chance of injury at the Carrier Dome than many FCS fields due to the quality of the surface. Anyone who ever played at Towson can attest to the injuries occurring on their turf in the late 90's.

I don't have any idea whether any of the pitifully small handful of regulars on this board have played football at HC (or any other college for that matter) or know anyone on the present Crusader squad, but I've got to wonder how many of today's actual players would really trade an FBS stomping...if it happens this Saturday (and I sincerely hope it doesn't)...for the "vivid memories" of playing in the Carrier Dome. Has anyone polled the team about how players felt about the shellacking at BC last year? I expect not. I saw HC many times against Army at Michie "back in the day" and those games were generally competitive and we won our fair share. But, sadly, we're not what we were back then and FBS teams like Army and Navy...not to mention the "Cuse"...are better...much better...than they were then. We have no business playing legitimate FBS schools...impostors like UConn excluded...money be damned. That being said, if today's players really like getting their butts kicked by FBS opponents, have at it! Good point, and I would add that if two games v FBS are such a great idea, why not three? Carrier Dome and Touchdown Jesus and Roll Tide at Bryant-Denny . What a thrill! (Or maybe one service academy or a UConn or UMass per year is the way to go if you have to play an FBS...) Why not 3? Why not 4? Cannot be afraid to play any team. Playing FBS teams in the ACC provides increased national recognition, money and recruiting boon. I don't need a poll of current players to tell you they feel the same way. I guarantee they do. If they don't, they should not be playing college football. |

We all know that past performance is no guarantee of future results. However, this time I believe the results of this game are going to be loathsome. I expect Syracuse will be ruthless and unrelenting. They will have no compunction about running up the score to the cheers of those in the Carrier Dome. This game could very well get quite ugly, quite quickly. I have no expectation of injuries but... My problem is this: It will be hard for me not to get really pxxsed off against Syracuse. I know the narrative - just running the offense, rankings, etc. Bull Doo Doo! I despise, absolutely hate to see any HC team ( or any other teams for that matter but especially HC) lying helpless as they get unendingly steam rolled by an all powerful opponent running up the score to preposterous dimensions. If the huge route does occur, as I fully expect, I will have to repeat to myself, "get some perspective, it's only a game", "the guys will be ok " and if all else fails, "what about your sweet wife, keep your stuff to yourself, happy wife, happy..." The money from this game for HC will never buy me happiness in the event of a disastrous rout. I hope that I am entirely wrong about this game, no huge rout, no injuries. LOVEHC In today's politically correct world, I view humbling experiences as a huge gift. Players should see this experience as a huge opportunity to make plays against an FBS opponent and create memories that they will have for the rest of their lives. You think players aren't going to have more vivid memories playing at the Carrier Dome? All people do on this board is whine about the schedule being "too difficult". What player wouldn't want to play at the Carrier Dome? What the F is everyone talking about? This is 100% correct. Every single player on the team would rather play and lose against Cuse than beat a FCS opponent (PL Ring and Playoffs excepted). |

How about four...the underappreciated George Kennedy!  Who used to have the George Kennedy avatar picture on the old site. SoCal was too young for Kennedy but I am associating his name with it. He is not on here anymore to confirm. |

Few have been harder on the QB's in the Chesney era than me, but let's give credit where credit is due. CD has been exceptional with respect to turnovers and ball security vs two good teams. The knock I have have him is inconsistency with throws. Makes one great throw, then misses easy out, etc. He is better than I anticipated. OC still stinks and has to go. He is a full scholarship player and a junior. Should be able to make the simple throw consistently. I agree. Coaches generally play the player that gives a team the best shot to win. Presumably, CD's ball security and lack of risk taking is the deciding factor over a frosh or transfer who may have more arm talent, but might be more risky or less familiar with the playbook. The former is a good reason to continue with CD, the latter may not be as relevant here as we run the same plays over and over. |

Great win, even if lucky. OC needs to be replaced ASAP. The offensive play calling is atrocious.
Offense owes Defense a few beers at McGuires (still there?)
