I thought that the playcalling was decent but Crompton looked awful. Its hard to blame the playcalling when the QB throws the ball at thr receivers feet or over their head. That said Clawson is the QB coach and Crompton was not ready to play.
You could have the BEST OC in the land and the way Cromp played tonight it wouldn't have mattered. Stop blaming the OC. This one is on Cromp in the end.
I missed the fact that UCLA returned all 11 starters this year. I know the stats from last year but they don't matter 1 bit when discussing this year. Their run D was abysmal and pass D was mediocre at best w/ blown coverages regularly. It was just our OC abandoned the run and our QB couldn't physically take advantage or just couldn't make the reads.UCLA 29th in Total defense in 2007.
UT 70th in Total defense in 2007.
Not a very Guruesque post.
It's silly how people don't realize that coaches have a huge influence on what players do on the field. Crompton couldn't hit ANYBODY - do you think this all of a sudden just happened?
WE DIDN'T BLITZ HIM IN THE SPRING GAME! ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME
we simply do not have enough SEC talent on the team. I know it's just the first game but I do not understand anyone thinking Crompton can compete at this level. I hope I am wrong but I don't see any possible way to have a winning season let alone compete in the SEC.:dunno::dunno::dunno::dunno:
