Fire Bohl

Goes to show we don't need some niche offense, we just need a competent OC. The first half we just shredded UNR due to a balanced attack and now being completely predictable. We opened it up and it paid off. The second half, after we scored, went right back to what he was doing all season, and it sucked. Barely even tried to pass. Could have moved Hill out to catch or subbed in Overstreet at slot. But nope.

Jesus, Wyoming kept them honest with the pass until Gentry went out...and then the team was left with only the run...and people bitch. It would be nice to be able to trust the freshmen WR in this situation, but I for one am glad that the team was built on a strength and was able to hold on.

The injuries continue to mount, but still the fight seems to be there.

Maulhardt and Hollister were still in the game I think, even after Gentry went down. In fact, they were getting the majority of targets before Coffman found Gentry. Not sure why Vigen went away from play-action with those two towers still in the game...

Lol all they had was the run? Maulhardt and Hollister must be chopped liver. I think Maulhardt had more yards than gentry. Claiming all we had left was the run went gentry went out is silly.

Silly?

It is about who is trusted in crunch time. It is obvious that other than Maulhardt (and to a lesser extent, Hollister) there were not a lot who the coaches thought about as "let's throw to them when the game is on the line" kind of players. Maybe next year...but for now, the options ARE limited by youth.

Had Overstreet and Hill as receiving options as well. But nope, run up the middle for minimal gains instead.

There wouldn't have been a "crunch time" if Vigen would have called the game he called in the first half, where Hollister and Maulhardt were the main targets. Gentry was most effective with the jet sweeps during the first half, not in receiving.

Yes it's silly. It had nothing to do with crunch time and trust. Vigen wanted to run the clock out and chose to run three plays then punt and rely on the defense. They could have continued passing just like they had been all game. Gentry didn't even have a reception until late in the second quarter. Acting like he is the whole passing game is silly.

Hill and Overstreet made some catches out of the backfield on screens, Overstreet converting that 3rd and forever was HUGE! Gentry caught less than 25% of the catches today, there were plenty of others able to contribute even after gentry went down. Despite the conservative, poor play calling our offense still managed to get into scoring positions though. If we made a field goal or 2, perhaps I wouldn't be as critical of Vigen. But his 2nd half approach was upsetting to me personally...

Exactly. He went from aggressive and attacking the edges to uber conservative. If he would have continued being aggressive it would have been 50 -14

Wait, all game?

The first half was balanced, as was the most of the 3rd quarter. Were you watching this game or the 1996 Cowboys? At the end of of a game it is natural to put faith in the players who are trusted because of previous actions.

As Bohl said, after Maulhardt it is the "kiddy corp out there"

it is hard to trust them, that was my point...

You have no point. We were up 28-7 and then shut the offense down and you are acting like he shut it down with a 21 point lead because he didn't trust players. That's asinine.

Just stop feeding the troll

 

[MedievalPoke]

Wait what?

I am sure the later 4th quarter was the whole 2nd half to you, but up until Gentry was injured I did see passing...

Oh, I know, you saw the last couple of drives and base the entire 2nd half off of that, right?

 

[MedievalPoke]

A troll says something like "Wyoming relied on their passing game, you idiot" rather than trying to argue something. I saw what I saw and I am arguing that. If you will note, I have been here (though not posting) for a while.

Jesus, trying to run off newer posters because they are...er...new...is something.

What i saw was we kept Nevada off balance in the first half with a combo of between the tackles runs, short passes, taking a few shots downfield, and attacking the edges with the run. In the second half Vigen went full on 3 yards and a cloud of dust, he was trying to shorten the game and if the Nevada QB wasn't so terrible it would have cost us the game.

I am stoked for the win, but this game should not have been close.

 

[HR_Poke]

Gentry went down in the 3rd quarter. Him going out had nothing to do with Vigen going full retard at the end of the 3rd quarter.

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

I hate playing not to lose. It's bullshit and bad coaching.

and if we went guns blazing and threw a pick six, we'd no doubt be calling that bad coaching, too.

Id rather us go out on our shields than cowering behind them...

Agreed. The first half, we ran 36 plays. 16 passes vs 20 runs, and torched them. Second half, we ran 34 plays, and only 4 passes. That's playing not to lose, and it almost cost us. I guess let's just be glad the D stepped up when it really counted

 

[MedievalPoke]

Did you watch the post game at all? Even reading between the lines Coffman seemed to imtimate that losing Gentry was big.

I mean this with all respect, and not Talledega Nights-wise, but do you think this did not have an impact on the play calling after this?

 

[MedievalPoke]

Oh wait, I just remembered. This is the "Fire Bohl" thread. I am sorry for trying to bring up cogent points.
