Chavis had them playing deep zones as if we were playing against Florida's receivers or some chit. Helllloooo, the Bruins wide out corps are filled with possession receivers who have played more beach volleyball than football!!!:banghead2:

If he plays a soft deep zone against Tebow... prepare to have about 400 pass yards hung on us. That was with A) 3rd String QB, B) 2nd String TE and C) inexperienced WRs.

UF is going to kill us if we don't bring a rush. Against a better O-Line, I doubt we would even hurry any decent SEC QBs.

If the loss wasn't clawson's fault, wasn't fulmer's fault, wasn't chavis's fault---whose fault was it?

It was a combination of them. Everyone had faults. Not just one singular burning error, there were multiple across every facet of the team. There was crap on the ST that needs addressing. There was crap on the O and the D that need addressing.

i guarantee if you if we had an even decent offense last night nobody would even be talking about the chavis and the d last night.

We only ran it 25 times with our rbs. 6 of those carries were by Crompton for 3 yards.

great point. Further proof that it was not a balanced attack or especially an attack that showcased what was working.

The penalty differential is staggering.

The things I saw that cost us the game:

1. Play calling was pretty suspect. Tennessee was running all over UCLA and we turned to the pass, knowing Crompton was struggling with control.

2. Crompton was awful. It missed wide open receivers and single handidly stalled offensive drives with high passes. We should have beat UCLA by 14 to 17 points, but Crompton was just awful. Are they serious that BJ Coleman is not better than this?

3. Offensive line was pretty horrendous in picking up the blitzes in pass protection.

4. Why were the corners playing so far off the receivers?

1. I've spoken enough about this point in this thread
2. Coleman isn't even the second stringer. Supposedly Crompton ran away from both Stephens and Coleman in practices.
3. Clawson never did anything to force UCLA to back off the blitz barrage. I can't solely blame the O-line.
4. Because Chavis is an idiot.

Also players are over and underrated with the Rivals system. I'd say hype can be a good and bad thing.

Give me a freaking break. The Rivals system doesn't have a thing to do with it. The great coaches Pete Carroll hires can produce a good QB out of anyone with a half decent arm.

Im sure the players ran it just like they were supposed to and have every time they practiced it. Im also sure that Wes Brown whiffed on his block just as the coaches drew it up. :crazy:

Punter had no chance, cant blame him at all in my opinion.

Wes Brown was supposed to block all five of those guys?

he's got about 17 days, to get his play calling in line, and he's got to show the ability to make adjustments

i don't think anyone under Fulmer has the ability to make in game adjustments. It's just not possible.

Did anyone see Crompton with headphones on and communicating with Clawson ever throughout the game? I never saw it. I am not a fan of the OC being on the field, but if that is what it takes for him to communicate with Crompton and the rest of the offense, then he needs to be down there. At least talk to him from the press box. Maybe he did, but I never saw it.

Also, did anyone get a good look at Clawson's face in the last quarter. He looked like a deer in headlights. He was as white as a sheet. Honestly, he looked like he was about to puke....

I don't care where the OC is, as long as he can run a successful offense. As for the camera, I think it was just the angle and fluorescent lighting. Chow looked really bad in that sort of extreme closeup from a low angle too.

Clawson screwed up--royally--but sticking with a mid-range passing game that wasn't working, at all. He should have started running more and throwing five yard passes, just like chow and ucla did. They made first downs in the second half, kept our defense on the field, and UT did not. Clawson's got a mobile QB and he had him standing in the pocket for four seconds all night--looking downfield and throwing errantly. UT's receivers aren't very good--which is a point that few seem to recognize.

yeah, what happened to the theory of throw short passes and let our receivers break tackles? We instead went with the 10-15 yard patterns and deeper hoping for the big play and Crompton either put a huge divot in the ground or hit planes flying overhead. Not a good system all the way around.

That was actually a good choice, but Crompton wasn't making the smart throw. He had receivers open underneath, but he choseto consistently attempt the deep ball.

then get in his face on the sidelines and let him he can't do that if he can't make the throw.

But I disagree with your theory altogether. Crompton was never checking off receivers, he was always going to the number one guy. Run pass plays designed for him to get rid of it quickly to someone short.

I agree. I think it was Clawson's fallacy to begin with. Crompton had no business attempting 42 passes.

Plain and simple: Crompton attempts 25 passes. We run 45 between our 4 primary backs. We would win that game easy.

The choice to pass was Clawson's fault, but the plays were there. Crompton had open WRs and either passed into coverage or made an absolutely terrible pass.

so far my impression of Clawson is that -- he sucks. Our gameplan last night was terrible. We should have won that game by 2 TDs.

we pound the rock and continue to pressure the qb and keep cbs on top of the receiver and a two TD win would have almost been a letdown

I will agree with that purely because you said gameplan, and not play calling. The gameplan was terrible.

We should have won by about 3 TDs.

Clawson needs to be down on the sidelines. Put some assistant up in the booth. With so much of his offense and players being new, he needs to be on the field with them.

He has definately started deep behind the 8-Ball with his UT career.

did anyone notice how much calmer and overall better Crompton looked in the shotgun formation? Why didn't we use that more? We could even run out of the formation to keep it honest with Hardesty's speed.

One thing is certain: Clawson, who has a pretty good track record, will get better or he'll be gone after this season.

The only thing we can do is wait and see.
