Vandy-Alabama A&M thread

[Vufamily]

We ought to load up the line and have 1 receiver wide. That way we have protection and Swann is only going to stare down the receiver anyway. J/K

[Nashmann]

Wow...horrible! Swann sucking so far.

[wbl]

Time to down and send in the Seals?

[charlestonalum]

Maybe it is the combo of Lynch and Swann. Why did we lose Wright - anyone know?

[OldDude]

This team will have to improve to get up to merely bad. Gosh coach Lynch should be better with all the experience at powerhouse Ball State

Maybe it is the combo of Lynch and Swann. Why did we lose Wright - anyone know?

I think he was probably told it would be Swann's team going forward. I don't know for sure but he was such a big promotor of the commodores that's the only reason I'd see him transferring out.

If A&M were playing a little bit better we’d be losing. I suspect the staff held things back to use later in the season. The first six quarters have shown that ,at least right now, we are no better than A&M or Hawaii and they have little margin for error

[roanoke]

If Lynch is so desperate to get the ball to our speedsters, use the jet sweep.

And then fake the jet sweeps - and throw the other way. We aren't even trying to use play action.

The RPO is awkward when Swann doesn't run much and we have trouble running up the middle. It means the P is coming - and the d is ready for it.

Swann is 7-18 against an FCS team: it is time to throw to backs and make it easy.

I will say, the d opened the game getting shoved around and responded. Let's hope they can keep it up. If we don't start executing on offense, they will have to.

[roanoke]

Three "easy" passes to start the third quarter. Three completions.

[dore74]

Did Lynch thank you Roanoke?

[commadore]

Offense and Swann looked like entirely different folks to start the second half. 75 yard drive for the TD.

19-3 Good guys.

[charlestonalum]

Swann nakes a good call and we score - or was it Lynch?

[roanoke]

That was better. TD. Three easy throws. A pitch wide. A jet sweep.

We look a lot sharper when our play caller calls what we can execute.

In many ways, we can be our own. worst enemy. I wonder if someone talked to Lynch at half, or he figured it out himself?

[charlestonalum]

Lynch checked Vandymania.

[Vufamily]

And just like that, D sucks

[Vandy187187]

TD A&M on another long pass TD!

[commadore]

Obviously they didn't discuss defense. Good grief. Long TD pass cuts it to 19-10.

[charlestonalum]

Well that was awful.

[VandyD]

Can we get the D and the O to play well at the same time? So far our most consistent unit is special teams.

[OldDude]

That didn't last long ! I just don't see evidence of a coaching staff scheming or teaching very well.
