ODU Game Thread

Pretty light crowd less than 10 minutes before kickoff.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

 

[MinerManiac]

Fumble! Our first break, hopefully we don't blow it

 

[NeptunianEmp]

A bit of a fiesta with that recovery but good on the guys to secure the ball.

 

[MinerManiac]

Cowing!

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Huge catch! Camera needs better work though.

 

[MinerManiac]

And wow, that crowd looks terrible

 

[MinerManiac]

... as does our running game so far

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Through the hands...

 

[DBminer]

Am I the only one that doesn’t think Hankins is that great ?

 

[MinerManiac]

Wide open and overthrown. Another red zone trip where we have to settle for 3

 

[axingfools1]

Why waste so many damn plays on telegraphed runs up the middle? I just don't get it. Who comes up with these game plans?

 

[DBminer]

Through the hands...

That was a terrible pass

 

[OsoFromELP]

Missed opportunities. And the running game is getting stuffed early.

It works for Air Force and Army, but ya have to have a damn good offensive line.

 

[axingfools1]

Wow. Wide open in the end zone. What a shame.

 

[MinerManiac]

Hankins was a tank for us last year, and our others backs have proven to be capable in the past. Our Oline has not created holes for our backs these last two games

They run option with misdirection. We just delay handoff up the middle. Line can't make up for that, especially at this level.

 

[MinerManiac]

And, like axing pointed out, we're telegraphing our running plays.

That is a true he is a tank but he doesn’t have starter speed in my opinion

 

[develman]

WTF is there two game threads?

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Defense doing alright

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

WTF is there two game threads?

Some dummy started one after mine

 

[MinerManiac]

WTF is there two game threads?

My guess is that they were started about the same time.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

He’s perfectly fine for CUSA level teams.

 

[MinerManiac]

Will we be able to get a stop?

 

[develman]

I think it's obvious the O-line isn't run blocking very well. Run some delays or screens to loosen them up. Opening up running lanes.

Only one guy to blame.

Yep. Great idea. I guess Dimel thinks that his game plans are sneaky!

 

[MinerMambo]

Need some play action!

 

[axingfools1]

It blatantly obvious that our run game will be a complement to our passing game tonight. Let's see how long it takes Dimel to figure that out.

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Some decent holes made by the O Line but not much beyond that.

 

[develman]

Awatt got hurt there on his last run.

 

[OsoFromELP]

Some dummy started one after mine

And some idiot started the other thread.

 

[axingfools1]

A good tight end or screen game could burn ODUs defense easily.

 

[NeptunianEmp]

That first quarter went by fast and not because of any action.

 

[MinerManiac]

If it had been Kai keeping that ball that last play would have probably been a first down, but Hardison can't run to save his life.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

4th down converted

 

[NeptunianEmp]

4th down converted

Pretty impressive stats with them.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

And……..first wasted TO of the evening
