Mike Locksley is unbelievable. The are blitzing every passing down and he continues to not make adjustments. As a coordinator he is beyond terrible.

Greg Robinson is out as head coach at Syracuse. Robinson IS a top flight D-coordinator. Zook better look long and hard at trying to hire him, if he is serious about trying to turn this putrid defense around next yr.

I've never seen a player go from so good to so bad faster than Juice Williams has. It's like he forgot everything he's learned since he got here.

How is it that when we blitz, we can't get to the QB, but when we get blitzed, we get sacked more often than not?

I hope that our secondary and our defensive coaches are noticing that #10 is getting the ball thrown to him on every play. 10 is going to set a reception record today.

This is an excellent question. I fear the answer is somewhere along the lines of - our O-line ain't very good.

This team quit 6 weeks ago.
what a shame with so much talent.
D coords must go, old syracuse coach is a must get to fill defense spot.
I'm fine with Locks, to me it looks more like execution than game calling at this point. It's Isiah and the receivers that need to recognize the blitz and run the hot routs.

i've been a staunch juice supporter all year, and i truly think that he gives us the best chance to win.
but
next year, the qb race should be wide open between juice, mcgee, and charest. if anyone can take the job from juice, let them do it, because he's looked like a freshman since the michigan game.

Looked like some holding by #64 in purple, but he got the time to throw it back across the field. 13-0.

Even when a play goes well they'll find a way to make it risky...lucky fumble recovery after a nice run by Juice.

Nov 22 2008, 03:24 PM
I,m 54 years old and our secondary couldn't cover me. Offensively, Juice doesn't have the basic football knowledge to get rid of the ball instead of taking the sack. I've said it before, this team SUCKS!!!! No emotion, no desire, no execution, no offense, no defense=home for the holidays.

Our O-line is complete and utter garbage.
Complete. And utter.
So is the secondary without Donsay, although it certainly doesn't help that they've spent 2/3 of the whole game on the field.

what happened to juice williams, is it locksleys play calling that is making juice look so horrible or maybe it is the o-line, but he looks absolutely pathetic.

Nov 22 2008, 03:29 PM
As said by someone above this team has just quit. No fire or desire.
If you are down to your last game and possible bowl what more motivation do you need?
Just pathetic. The game is over and these guys quit weeks ago.
I have very little confidence in a winning season next year and I have been patient with Zook and Juice but both have regressed.
IF we do this again next year then it's time for the Zook era to be over. This is inexcusable. Just sad.
