I didn’t even want to listen to the press conference. If he said that out loud, how dumb is that. So he’s saying he knew how to beat Troy but chose not to in fear of selling out his bigger picture strategy?In his press conference he said the way to beat Troys D was to throw intermediate passes.but that he did not want to "sell out" to that strategy.
Why would you not adjust to what you are seeing, and take advantage of what the defense is giving you?
The coaches don’t seem to be TRYING to put out the best effort to win. I know players have to execute but I don’t see the fight in the coaches. I have to agree with you that they aren’t seemed to focus on winning now.He knows this season is lost so he’s already setting expectations low so next year at 7-5 looks like a great turnaround
Yeah. Right. That is what he meant. He really did know how to beat Troy but did not care enough to do so. He is stubborn in his Oregon ways and really dumb as you say. I sure wish we had a different coach.I didn’t even want to listen to the press conference. If he said that out loud, how dumb is that.

So he didn't trust a first-time starter. He's not the first coach to ever feel this way. I'm fine with that. What IS disconcerting is that our team is sloppy and undisciplined.
No, he’s saying that what Troy gave us we didn’t have the personnel to execute taking advantage of it. He thought we had a better chance running the ball than letting bunch put it in the air 30-40 times.
Except bunch completed 70% of his passes yesterday. Frost just didn’t trust himThere is a big difference from "Knowing" how to attack a team and being able to accomplish it with what you have to work with.
I can't imagine that having Bunch throw it 60 times was the best idea.
Agree. People criticize Saban for not announcing his starting QB until after the first game but I bet Frost wishes he could have a do over about how he handled the QB situarion. But then again he’s made comments like “he doesn’t want kids here that don’t want to be here”You simply aren’t going to win many games playing a walk on QB that entered fall camp 3rd on the depth chart.
Critiquing the offense, play calls etc is difficult given the QB situation.
The decisions that resulted in our QB situation landed us in a spot where we went into the season rolling the dice with one QB. That gamble paid dividends for a whole 3 quarters.
The outcome of this entire season will be primarily related to roster management at that position.
I cannot believe the ignorant comments being made on here since yesterday.

Really? This board is full of window licking f-cktards that take the short bus to the game.I cannot believe the ignorant comments being made on here since yesterday.

Yeah, 70%...but lots of short passes.Except bunch completed 70% of his passes yesterday. Frost just didn’t trust him
I agree. You practice all week to implement a game plan devised by the coaching staff. Any game day adjustments to the plan must take into account the personnel available -their experience and skills, et. al.After how we physically ran it down Colorado's throat, the coaches were overconfident that we could just "win ugly" by running directly at Troy's defense. As such, the game plan that was developed and practiced during the week was very conservative to protect another QB making his first start at this level of football. Unfortunately, Troy's overly aggressive penetrating defensive strategy was effective at slowing our offense down enough. A good way to attack a penetrating defensive strategy like that is to throw over the top of the penetrating defenders in the area they are vacating. Since we probably didn't practice those plays as much as the game plan plays this week, they didn't feel confident putting the QB/team in the position to execute those plays, as there is higher risk of interceptions since there are usually more defenders in the middle of the field.
This all just my opinion.
Thank you. Biggest stats in football are turnover margin and penalties. A couple of us had the gall to point out that -3 and yellow flags raining from everywhere aren't a winning formula after the CU loss and the kool-aid chuggers jumped all over us about rushing yards and sacks and AM being the second coming.Imagine no turnovers and maybe 5 penalties yesterday or against cu. Until they get that mess of mistakes cleaned up, they won't win much. Stats show they've had enough offense and enough defense to get a win, but stats also tell what we all have seen, 22 penalties and 6 turnovers along with a few other mishaps. There's not enough talent on this team to overcome that.
In part he doesn't trust him because he has trouble seeing over the line and he also lacks some arm strength to get it in to tight windows. Couple all that with some of our pass pro struggles and you get what we got. He tried to make it easy for him and for the most part it worked.Except bunch completed 70% of his passes yesterday. Frost just didn’t trust him
Correct.It means that they didn’t trust Bunch to win the game throwing the ball.
Means we currently don’t have the personnel to run his playbook in full.
Yeah, they got their money so they don't care, right? You seriously need to visit the real world sometime.The coaches don’t seem to be TRYING to put out the best effort to win. I know players have to execute but I don’t see the fight in the coaches. I have to agree with you that they aren’t seemed to focus on winning now.
Did you see the one shot we took down the field with Bunch? It was basically a jump ball thrown to their safety that our WR was fortunate to break up.Does anyone think Michigan won't play our offense the same way?
You can't afford to take a shot because you don't trust the guy to take the shot.. ummm
or in other words, a circular reference
Considering there was probably less than 5 times he didn't throw into triple coverage, I would say not a good idea.There is a big difference from "Knowing" how to attack a team and being able to accomplish it with what you have to work with.

I have coached for a long ass time now and there have been many many many games where we as a staff chat on the sidelines and say "Dang it...if only we were better at doing X"Considering there was probably less than 5 times he didn't throw into triple coverage, I would say not a good idea.
