I don't mind the streak being preserved like this for now because I think covid is still keeping people away. I know my folks didn't want to be exposed to this variant as I brought up the idea of all going this weekend. Can't say I blame them one bit.
At this point though, is this a bad thing? Eventually a job becomes more desirable with sustained success. We just need two decent hires back to back that stick around for 3 or 4 years and suddenly you're a nice job with rich history and strong support.
While this is true, you have a qb with a tendency to try to do too much...so knowing this, why run plays that set this up? Run the ball and go in tied and regroup.
I really wish frost would just play the hand dealt to him. Run the ball. The recievers aren't good enough to get open consistently without a balanced attack. Just run the normal offense and if you can't score in time that's fine. Now you've given Illinois a chance to go up two scores after the half. It's like the punt returner...trying to do to much. Be patient. This is an impatient team led by an impatient coach.
It's a shame isn't it? I remember the late 90s and early 2000s as a time when parity was all that was being talked about. Now we have a monopoly at the top and it makes it boring.
I'm not too confident in this thing yet. Feels like a lot of "oh yeah well we can make deals too." Let me know when these schools start dropping sec games or replacing smaller school games with marquee matchups.
I never understand scripting more than the first play. Why not just have a handful that you work on so in case the 1st snap has disaster and you lose yards, you're not running a terrible play for 2nd and long.
