Palehosefan Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 30, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) This has probably been discussed, but how do you win in Norman, then lose by 34 at home to the Cyclones??? WTF? It's what Tuberville does. He would beat Alabama one week and then lose to SE Louisiana State the next week. I'm already fed up with him in a season and a half.

Heads22 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Phf, probably won't make you feel any better, but it was our biggest win over a ranked team, first win in Lubbock, and all of that. Tech has a neat stadium, but it cleared out really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Oct 29, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) Well, you got Worley some game experience, but he isn't ready for that really. It sucks, because Dooley is my 2nd favorite coach in all of football, and I really hope he wins somewhere. I absolutely love Dooley. I really want him to succeed b/c he's just the man. But I do highly question some of his in-game coaching decisions. Then again, he is working with no room for error. With a healthy offense, he can get away with some of those "questionable" decisions. With a healthy Bray, Tennessee wins that game last night. That's what just f***ing pisses me off about losing our 3 best players so far this year.

SOS said he shut the passing game down in the 3rd quarter, when it was obvious that inside runs would work all the way down the field. That defense has given up 21 points total in the last 4 SEC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 30, 2011 -> 03:34 AM) I dont care about the officiating, the Illini f***ing suck and its on the coaching staff. End of story you f***ing p*****s, enjoy your 3rd tier bowl, and way to f***ing get my hopes up senior year. They did get jobbed though, there was no stopping OldPa from getting his longevity record. PSU in a BCS bowl would once again make the conference look awful. And my boys are back in it. I didnt think they had enough offensively, but apparently Braxton is coming into his own. Just an awesome game, especially since every recruit was there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hoping that Dooley would give Bruce Pearl his pants back when Bruce left. I really hope for everyone's sake Bruce didn't give the matching jacket to Dooley and he breaks it out on a cold night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU can't move the football against any defense with a pulse and if they play a team with some talent on offense they are in big trouble. There are some good defenses in the conference this year (MSU, PSU, OSU, Illinois, etc.) but the offensive talent in the conference is just horrible. The QB play has been dreadful, there are only a handful of good wide receivers and while there are some solid backs in the conference, none of them really seem to be special.

I really hope he gets demoted to Recruiting Coordinator. I'd be fine keeping him at his current salary in that position too. Lord knows he can recruit (even if he doesn't get the flashy top 15 recruiting classes, it's pretty clear he has an eye for talent that others simply don't see. He's pumping out a couple of NFL caliber players a year from a pretty s***ty program). Let someone else take over the game management decisions. The problem is I'm not sure who you hire. You'd have to scrap the entire coaching stuff (unless you promote Koenig or Petrino, but really both of them have been pretty useless once Big Ten play started) and start all over again. Hopefully they can finish 2-1 and end up with an 8-4 record and go to a decent bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois is 9th in the country in total defense and out of the eight scoring drives the defense has allowed in the last 3 games, 4 of those drives have been 25 yards or less. If the special teams and offense wouldn't have completely f***ed up the last 3 games this team would be 8-1 or 9-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense has been great, any criticisms of Koenning this year are utterly ridiculous. Not to mention that during his career his defenses have been ranked: Illinois 2011: 9th Illinois 2010: 38th (up from 91st the year before) K State 2009: 39th (up from 117th the year before) Clemson 2008: 18th Clemson 2007: 9th Clemson 2006: 13th Clemson 2005: 20th Troy 2004: 16th Troy 2003: 39th Koenning is a great defensive coordinator and really the only coach on the staff I care about retaining.

It was the second game of the season with a new QB. I watched that game because I had money on Alabama and Alabama played conservative all game and then just shut it down once it hit the 4th quarter. It was 20-3 thru 3 quarters and one drive Alabama ran it every play of a touchdown drive that covered about 70 yards. Of course PSU scored a TD in the final 2 minutes to make it look like a 2 score game. The final score is really an injustice of how close the game really was.
