What did we learn? -Game 2- Troy

[JJ Husker]

I learned a lot today.....None of it good.

This rebuilding job is going to be a lot tougher and take much longer than I thought.

Positive changes in the culture are nice but not of much use until it translates to the field.

We are screwed without Martinez. The lack of a QB room is a huge problem.

Getting bowl eligible will take a miracle, even with scheduling a replacement for the Akron game. Don’t see it happening.

There are no gimmies on our schedule if we can’t stop stopping ourselves.

The improvements on our offensive line have been greatly exaggerated. Terrible outing by that group.

Chinander channeled his inner Craig Bohl and had no answer for simple delayed runs right up the gut.

Stupid penalties, turnovers and lackadaisical effort. That’s no way to go through life son.

1.  Frost and his staff are way overrated.  The offensive play calling was off the whole game.  It's as though Frost called the exact opposite plays of what were needed throughout the game.  

2.  The offensive line continues its poor performance that occurred under the Riley era

3.  The overall teams mental toughness is horrible

4.  Special teams is a disaster.

Sun Belt teams can make big plays against the D.  Ohio State will have a field day

Kicker spot needs more competition 

QB play is pure trash

Frost can't exist in 100 degree heat

 

[Branno]

We will win 0 games that Martinez doesn’t start.

That no previous coach could have started worse

 

[PasstheDamnBallGuy]

I learned that one twist of the knee can cause 2 losses.  

 

[Red_Payne]

I learned we can't overcome early turnovers.

We also learned that we can't overcome late mistakes.

We learned we can't win if we make a lot of mistakes.

No need to reschedule Akron

 

[DrunkOffPunch]

Bunch couldn’t read the field. Missed zone reads and open receivers. Doesn’t have the speed or arm talent to overcome those deficiencies.

 

[The Murphinator]

This rebuild will take a very long time. Bunch is not good. 

 

[ebohnart]

I learned that good things really do take time, and that we have to attempt to be patient. 

 

[commando]

troy is better than colorado

 

[moveitforward]

Troy players are too young to remember when we were a good team. We were just another team on their schedule, they showed up and beat us. Not complicated.

Mother Nature set the stage for this season with the cancellation of a sure win (and yes, we would have won) against Akron.  With that missed game, Colorado was able to take advantage of rust on our part and also play dirty and hurt the only QB on the staff which set the tone for this loss.  Bunch is not a starter on any major team in the country yet we were stuck with what we had.  He wasn't the only cause but he played a major role in it.  

We will get better but it will be a rough season folks.
