I don't think we even got UAB best shot today. Would have been worse if they really wanted to kill us.
Hardison made some really good throws, but then he also made just as many poor throws. With the understanding that it was his very first action and against a decent defense, I would give him a solid C+, maybe even upgrade that to a B since he did not turn the ball over. He is not a running threat and he doesn’t look good running either, we should probably remove that QB Iso from playbook with him. But overall, assuming that he will improve and the game will slow down with experience, then I think that we can pleased with having him for the future.
How do you explain our ineptitude to stop their run game? That's what they wanted to do, said so before the game and we knew that they would rely on the running game because of their backup QB's inexperience and still even knowing all that we couldn't stop them?
Someone brilliantly created this account for one purpose...meanwhile, the women’s b-ball team are looking good
I don't care what the other team did, but obviously they executed a game plan. Your question should be for Dimel and the DC. Maybe go back and read defense's comments too.
In my opinion:
The RPO is a complicated offense with multiple formations, blocking schemes and options for the QB. The offense works when its run with intelligence and authority. We seem to be running a bare minimum version that is slow to develop and with tons of mistakes. A capable QB and discipline are what we are missing. Discipline can be taught. Let's see how Hardison does against 2 of the worst team in Div 1.
Our defense is another story. Playing from behind all the time hamstrings the D-line. Our linebackers have been roughed up. Our coaches are adamant about leaving 3 men on the line against a running team. Most all of our recruiting so far is in the defensive backfield. The are some good plays, but no consistency.
A QB and a better defense are what we need right now. The offense will come along if we find the right QB. Its Dimel's only chance to make it to year 4.

I know Coog, just making a point that it doesn't matter if you know what's coming. Whether it be the wildcat or option offense if you have better Jimmy and Joe's it doesn't matter.
The talent gap between the team and the rest of the conference isnt that great. The issue with the program is coaching. We could have much better talent than everyone else in this conference and this staff wouldnt be able to win with them. This honestly may be the worst coaching staff ever assembled in fbs.
Interesting how two year ago UAB and UTEP won the same amount of games. At completely different levels now.
I saw some spectacular catches today (when they were looking). Haven't seen that in a while.
I miss the heated rivalry (it felt like it) when we came in the early years, especially with Barbee’s teams.
I must be missing something here. Two years ago I know we went winless and UAB went to a bowl game (Bahamas Bowl, they did lose).
Well, UAB DID go winless in those years they shut down the program. Then they brought it back and immediately went to a bowl game. I'm still not exactly sure how that happened.
“The NCAA’s help was important here. The organization told UAB it would freeze the eligibility clock of players in the program while it was dormant. That meant Clark could sell JUCO prospects on spending a year at UAB instead of at schools they didn’t want to be at. In Birmingham, they could get acclimated without losing a year of playing time.”

He is a drop back qb. He can drop a nice pass but can't get out of a solid pass rush.
