Go through all of my posts and quote me saying any of this. I said they are not the problem. The problem has been injuries, our best player who accounts for almost 75% of our TD's has been out either due to injury or due to getting kicked out of the end of a game. Use common sense my friend, because you seem to struggle with that.SDPokeFan wrote:No, that would almost be as stupid as the team having only one win, including their last game a four touchdown demolition, and then coming on a message board and saying how great of a job the coaches or doing.

This game I ad down as a loss at the very beginning of the season. Fresno's 4-9 record last year was very deceiving. They have a great group offensively and it showed. Fresno's D is always tough. They are very quick and athletic which makes for a lot of struggle against them. I thought the score would be a little closer, but like I said, I will not hold this one against anybody.
The one benefit I will give Wyo is they have faced three of the top Running backs in the nation in three weeks and did very well keeping them under control. Jefferson at Nevada didn't come close to his average against the Pokes. AFA's Getz struggled before being knocked out of the game and we just held Rouse to under 100 yards.
I had Wyo at 7-5 this year, but I could still see 5-7. It is disappointing, but I'll take what we can get. We have a very young, inexperienced and injured Defense right now. Our Offense has done well for the most part, excluding Smith's injuries, Our top Wideout Herron's injuries and several others being out every other week due to injury.
If we finish this season strong I will be happy. Because I know next year this D will be better and our Offense will have everyone back also.
I hope all the "Fire DC and Burman" folk will get a grip and let this one go also. This season is not a complete lost cause. Maybe we don't get to a bowl this year, but if we finish strong and have more experience for next year I think we'll be looking pretty good for our up coming seasons.
Go Pokes. Keeping the Faith!
Yes, I had Wyo losing this one at the beginning of the year, I didn't think it would be this bad of a score, I even stated I thought it would be closer. Still, you all want to just add this loss as a massive log to the "Fire DC" mantra when almost everyone had this one down as a loss to begin with...BEFORE WE HAD THE 1-6 RECORD. So tell me, did the team actually look like they quit? Or did they look outmatched? I saw outmatched. We had a secondary who is down due to three of them out for injuries...Makes for lots of back ups and get this, that tends to mean it is a weak spot. And Fresno went after it and succeeded. We have a qb who has been plagued with head injuries this year begin to slide or just throw it away. Has he just checked out for the season? No. He's playing safe and careful. All we need is to lose him for the rest of his career before this season is over due to another head injury. Our O-line was completely outmatched and our FRESHMAN RB's couldn't run the ball.
Again, this team is young and inexperienced in a lot of main areas. And most teams that have that problem are generally getting blown out EVERY WEEK! Don't believe me, Look at Colorado. For crying out loud, Look at CSU! Ever week it is bad loss after bad loss. We are one drive away from getting a field goal and beating Cal Poly with all our back ups in, we are one drive that stalled due to Smith being knocked out and beating Toledo. (Smith in the offense moves the ball, Smith out the offense goes 3 and out and thats the game). Smith in our Offense revamps and we win at Idaho. Smith in and we are coming from behind and winning late at Nevada (who by the way is also in the top 2 in the league) Smith gets flagged and sent out and guess what, the rest of the game the offense stalls. 3 and out over and over again. If we had got the one third down conversion I think we could have run the clock quite well to a victory. AFA. Played well in the first half, Our players couldn't catch anything in the second half and we lose by one. 4th and 5 and on a play that you could see that Smith would be rushing for a first down, Thompson throws. This game, I really thought would be something like 45- 24 or 42-28. As you can see still not great. But it's one bad loss. Shoot even or loss to Texas wasn't bad. We were one fourth down conversion away from making it a 7 point ball game early in the fourth quarter.
Coaching is what made all these games opportunities to win. Bad coaching is what gives you a season like CU and CSU, check the difference.
Just kidding.
