I wonder how many drills they run this week? I bet the false starts will be cleaned up this week too.

CSS and CB don't seem like the types of coaches that mess around. Who here thinks he "loves them" a WHOLE LOT this week?

FWIW, there were only 2 false starts. As hop alluded to, 3 of the fumbles were by 1 player. You have to hope that Puma was just too hyped up and tried to make too many plays on his own against a top 10 team.

Top 10 team doesn't matter, the ball was fumbled 5 times , almost 7. I read an article about how much CSS hates false starts, so I'd bet he gets that cleaned up.

Carrying the ball like a loaf of bread is inexcusable, they teach that in middle school.

I thank that scumbag Petrino that Pass is our best option for QB. I like Pass, I want him to do well but I don't think he is the starting QB on many D1 teams.

Actually, that little troll Petrino screwed UL so bad by not recruiting a lot of positions. He is a leech that wins on the backs of other people's hard work and dedication.

This thread is not about Petrino. Move on and stay on topic, please.
 
One of the fumbles was the backup center short handing it. So I cant blame that one entirely on Puma. Either way, I think we see a lot of improvement in ball security. Didnt have any picks thrown against ND so thats a big plus.

The backup center Bently rolled the snap on the ground which was recovered by Hall or Hawkins for a big loss. The 2nd fumble Pass lost was a bit low but was very manageable and clearly should have been handled.

Why does it matter when we have a good coach now?

It’s possible to carry multiple thoughts. The previous coach did not correct the mechanical issues our current quarterback has. Our current coach, who seems good, is trying to address those bad habits. Our current coach is also short on QB’s because our previous coach did a poor job recruiting and/or retaining QBs.

That’s not necessarily true. CCS could have gotten a GT if he thought Pass and Cunningham were incompetent.
 
Since both our centers a very inexperienced I fear we might have some more bad snaps to come.

You obviously are reading things that aren’t there. Where did I say they were incompetent QB’s? I said Pass has mechanical issues. And yes CCS tried to get a grad transfer but none of the top guys wanted to come here. Our former coach also essentially ran off our most physically complete QB Jordan Travis.
 
Pass was not ruined by CBP...yeah yeah yeah, it's easy to hoist all our troubles on him; but Puma is just not panning out...maybe CCS can work his positive reinforcement magic and we can limit the liability; but our QB situation is a serious liability (not just Puma, by the way)
 
This thread is taking an ugly turn by a few of you. Looking like some KY posters. o_O

Coach Charlie Strong is not walking through that door
