I said this early in the season to @Buffnik, if there is an area i want to see 2 grow in, it's game management. It's going to he critical to his career as a pro. He generally limits mistakes but managing a game is critical. Sometimes you can see your defense is getting their **** pushed in. Play to the play clock. Always just keep it all in front of you unless the defense makes a major mistake. If you see a weakness, attack it relentlessly. This is where I want to see growth from 2.
I liked a lot of what I saw from 2 that gives me hope against UCLA that I didn't see against ASU or Oregon. That said, 2 is responsible for this L. He didn't manage the game. Even if the play calling is bad, you got audible rights. **** Sean Lewis ****. Slow the game down and run the clock. That said, the biggest mistake wasn't that pick or the missed throw. It was that damn 4th and 1 where we punted it. We saw Dillingham and Lanning go for 4th downs with 1 yard and get it. We should have did that. We should have did that.
I am still pissed about that because that decision ended up killing us.

Are you trolling or being serious? Did you not just see us give up 46 points in a half and lose to a 1-4 team? This team is NOT winning another game this year, take that to the bank
Because their D is not going to be as bad as our D.

The game was lost on coaching decisions and it is something all coaching staffs face at some point. The decision to punt on 4th and 1 but then go for it on 4th and 3. Not attempting to eat time when on offense. Continuing substitution strategies that are leading to penalties. Sticking to certain players despite being ineffective. Issues with accepting/declining penalties. The bye week is needed for both the players and coaches to get back to basics. Sustainable success emerges from mundane tasks being done efficiently and well in any field. Relying on crunch or magic can turn out a few wins or produce a good product, however at some point it all comes crashing down. The loss was an operational failure and after those soul searching happens at every level in effective organizations. The staff needs a few eggheads alongside the hypemen. Prime is wholly unique but for individuals like that to succeed others need to ensure the base is solid.

Same situation happened in the Nebraska game. They get it 30 yards from the spot of the kickoff if it goes out of bounds.
We missed two picks from Ward. He dropped a pick. The next play, Travis got got for a TD.

Also, why did we only start using Dylan Edwards towards the back half of the game when he is arguably the best player on offense?

Want to make a bet?
Our defensive strengths are we generally are the best condition team. This might be the first game, I don't think we're.
2nd half defense, usually good at making adjustments
We create a lot of turnovers and penalties.
None of our defensive strengths happened today.
During 29-0. I didn't think we used our strengths. It was more that things that normally suck for us was good. Run stopping. Pass rush was tremendous. They struggled with our personnel adjustments.
Once the 2nd half came we struggled at what we normally struggle with and nothing that we usually do well at happened.
It was just a bad night defensively
Man, we had a lot working we went away from on offense.
He is not a every down back. The better question is why didn't we see McCaskill in the second half?

Is he? What has he done since week.one to make you think.that? Very good situational player, but Horn, Weaver, Hunter, Harrison have all been more productive since then...and Hank is much better between the tackles.

The defense is both on the players and Kelly. A lack of adjustments in the second half comes down to coaching. The inability to execute the basics like substitutions or tackling is on the players. It was clear Travis Hunter was missing a step on defense and his usage on that side of the ball in the 2nd half was baffling. It is going to be a long two weeks for the Buffs and with how angry Kelly was in-game, the defensive practics and rooms are not going to be fun places to be.
Knew CU was ****ed when the PA announcer got a flag warning, Prime's program just too undisciplined imo. Hire PA announcer as head coach
dont you have a coal mine to die in after you **** your cousin?
Lmao, bro you just lost by a hail Mary. Go to sleep

Did he play after he had that drop? I'm asking because it seems like the coaches get a little "pull happy" when CERTAIN players make mistakes.
Like Cooper not seeing the field again after a slip. Wasn't even a mistake. Just bad luck.
You won't be saying that when we are in the Big 12

U just proved how liberal and dumb u r! My Mountaineers r 4-2, and dominated last nights game, only to lose on a last second hail mary! WVU is in much much better shape than Colorado right now!
Don't do that. At the end of the day, this lost sucks.
That said, 4-3 ain't the worst place to be.
We got a lot of offensive talent whenever Hunter is there out there. Makes life easy for Weaver.
Defensively, we gonna need another year. We gotta get some big boys.
Sadly, we lost this game. On to UCLA.
Fix depth, offensive interior, front 6, we should be much better.

Frankly, I hope Kelly doesn't get two weeks with the team.
I don't know . The personnel decisions are beyond perplexing
You lost recently just like we did. Why are you here? No one even cares about WVU.

If Cam Rising comes back every team remaining on the schedule could easily put up 55-60 points on this defense.
