re: Jordy colutta made a damning good point on his show this morning

How do you know this? Maybe they intended to run as the pass game was stalled. Not preparing for the backup, if that is true, is difficult to understand.

I agree and saw the look on both faces. I was wondering why the defense did not prepare for their second QB. It's on Kelly and we're stuck with BS for the foreseeable future. ND warned us.

He made one solid throw but the kid is not a very good or accurate passer. Thats the reason Connor was starting.

Weigman has a 56% comp on the season, Reed has 55%.

A&M coaches are morons if Weigman sees the field ever again.

PS - Reed has 6 pass TD/ 0 int. Weigman 3 td 4 int.

Was listening to Houston radio this morning and Lance Zierlein, who's dad was an NFL and NCAA assistant coach, said his dad has told him in the past that in-game adjustments are very hard to do and not really a thing, at least extreme adjustments. He said so much goes into the weekly game install and anything out of that is very difficult for teams to make adjustments for. I'm not making excuses for Kelly and company, but it sounds like if this situation was at least touched on during the week of practice it could have been better. Short fields killed us, but it does seem like they could designate one person to QB and one to RB and roll with that!!!

LOL. We prepared for it with OM. We prepared for it withArk so to say they weren't prepared is ridiculous. They didn't perform that's for sure but just last week we shut down a running QB that scored 58 points this week.

I agree and we did shift to zone and spying. The problem was that Reed is a LOT faster than Dart and especially Green playing hurt. Green didn’t have any designed runs. He only took off when under pressure.

We just didn’t have a matchup for Green and I’m not sure the staff spending a short period in practice on him would have changed that.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Truth is truth!

I love this take every time I see it on here. So basically you just don't like him because if that was Saban you would be talking about the players not following football Jesus…

I would be a lot madder if we were playing like that making mistakes right and left and he was not tearing their asses up.

It's not about "liking" or "disliking" BK. And you seem to be confusing yelling at players with yelling at coaches. There have been multiple times this year after false starts, poor plays, etc where Kelly has been shown going ballistic screaming at someone through his headset. He's not chewing out a player at that moment. So unless he's yelling at Cox for unexpectedly increasing his cable bill, it stands to reason he's yelling at a a coach. Given you don't see him often yelling when the defense is on the field (because Baker is right there next to him), it's likely the anger is directed at Sloan. Yet, despite the anger the same issues arise. Same false starts. Same inability to run the ball. Same plays getting in late.

It's not about yelling. It's about a coach clearly recognizing issues, yet seeming doing nothing to address it. It's hard to accept a guy banging on a table bitching about not finishing when you have a chance to, only to see LSU dominate two teams, on the road, in the first half yet have only a 6 and 10 point lead because you couldn't finish.

He's recognizing the issues...he's just not getting them fixed midseason.

Reed is a different kind of athlete. Can’t pass as well as those 2, but much faster. And he’s the best I’ve seen at holding the ball at the mesh point as long as possible before committing to giving it or pulling it.

Read Greg Penn’s quote. We might not have been able to simulate Reed’s speed in practice. But it sounds like they didn’t even contemplate he might play, which is ridiculous because he’s been hurt so much in his career. But it’s the psychological piece of it that bothers me. Asking the defense to flip the psychological switch would have been tough. They could have used just 1 15 minute walkthrough period on Thursday:

“Ok, guys, Weigman has a tendency to get hurt, and if it comes down to it, their backup runs a lot of read option. And he’s really good at waiting until the last minute to pull the ball or give it. So JUST IN CASE we do see him, let’s walk through a couple of plays they run with him to make sure everybody has their assignments down and knows what to do. And remember, he’s faster than any other running QB we’ve played, so we have to be gap sound and make tackles when we have the chance. It may not come up, I just don’t want y’all to get caught off guard if it does.”

And then have Juwan Johnson walk through a couple of read option plays where he holds the ball loner than a normal QB would. A 5 minute talk and walk through 5 plays. Would have taken 10-15 minutes.

But just doing that would have made it much easier to flip that switch psychologically if it was somewhere in the back of their minds. Nuss was throwing picks all over the place, we bitch 3 FG attempts like 1A high school football team, the crowd was insane, etc…but just that tiny little walkthrough could have helped them stay a little more calm. Just the thought that is was possible would have made the transition easier. Would it have made an actual difference? Who knows. But it seemed like everybody was shell shocked and looking around for somebody—anybody—to act like everything was fine, it wasn’t the end of the world. “Remember, we talked about this potentially happening.” Again, we may have lost anyway. We probably would have. But what could it have hurt to spend a few minutes going over it?

If I was given an $100 bill for every time Kelly says this after a loss, I would be rich
