sounds to me like their coach is passing the buck to the players insinuating that Cincy's defensive play calling was on par with UT's offensive play calling but the players didn't execute. That's poor leadership on his part.
Take your beat down like a man.
Posted via VolNation MobileYa know, I got the same feeling from that coach just watching and listening to him. He comes off to me like a hyper-motivated guy who has not really gotten the proper grasp of his team. Watching him "fire up" his WRs on TV before the UT game looked really contrived. Listening to him in post-game sounded somewhat like the above. At least here he put the onus on himself / staff a little.
The guy feels like he's in over his head. JMO.
theyre going to win their share of football games. On whether theyll face a better passing trio than Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray and wide receivers Zach Rogers and Justin Hunter:
Up to this date, I dont know what the future holds with our future opponents. Ill tell you theyre as talented of a group as Ive seen in a long period of time. When we prepare for teams, we talk to coaches and we knew coming into the game that Tennessee possessed probably one of the top two or three offensive lines in the entire conference. That was a very skilled unit. I thought bray was a great quarterback going into the game. They have great backs that run extremely hard. They possess many challenges. Their scheme plays to the strength of their football team and offensive line with all the different play actions they give you. I think Theyre a very talent group.
“We knew they were going to do something. They have shown on film, whether on offense on special teams, that they’re going to try to do something to capture momentum for their football team. We actually practiced that every day this week. There is a rule that there is a restraining line of 10 yards. If your guy passes over the 10-yard restraining line, they cannot hit you till the ball goes 10 yards. Our two guys backed up. If they had gone forward to try to recover the ball, they can’t be touched until the ball goes 10 yards. They made a great play. It was executed flawlessly. Their kicker did a great job. The kicker didn’t change up his approach to the ball. Ninety-nine percent of all kickers, when they do the bunt onside, they have to change their approach to the ball and he hit it full stride. They did a great job and hats off to them. It comes back to the fundamental details – we reped it and we stepped back instead of going forward. We’ll see it again and we’ll continue to rep that play.”
