I think the perfect storm happened to us yesterday. We were poor in EXECUTION, we were poor in discipline, we were poor defensively and offensively. And I think the coaches thought this was the game to get his backups some game experience without the game being in hand. On top of all of that...Morgan actually played well. So, all involved gets some blame including the fans. We think we cannot ever lose so we don't cheer as hard as other schools. Morgan had 35 fans, 60 including the band and at the end of the game they were louder than us and our contingent tripled theirs at a minimum. Everyone gets an F yesterday. agreed, especially in the fan department. you're right, i think we outnumbered morgan's fans 3 to 1, but they were louder than us. i think that's a fair criticism including myself as a fan... |

i saw a lot of "dropped" passes yesterday, including an easy wide open td drop by pride. don't know if the cold weather had anything to do with it or not, but i saw several catchable balls dropped. so there's blame to go around to everybody except ruiz, he was "dead on" yesterday just as he's been all season long.
just was not a good day for the aggies, hardly anything went well...

I will tell you before that we only had 13 points, how can a team with 2 of the conf best WRs, best RB only have 13 points on a team that gave up 45 to Norfolk? Our offense should have been able to muster at least 3 TDs with all that fire power. We completed 15 out of 38 passes, that is a 40% completion rate with a grand total of 150 yards. The offense didn’t produce today, the defense should t even have been in that position. that's ludricrous. under no circumstances whatsoever should our defense allow a morgan state offense to march 90 yards down the field to score a td when the entire game was on the line and we were only 3 points behind, that's just unacceptable. look, this a "team sport". you cannot blame the offense nor can i blame the defense for this loss. neither offense nor defense played well. its a "team loss", not an offense loss, period... That is total garbage...so if we lost 51 to 52 its a team loss or the defense lost the game? IF your offense scores 51 points your offense did its job...maybe the QB throws an interception in the last 2 min but guess what the offense scored 51 points they had a great day. If we lost 3 to 6, the defense gives us 6 points and we still lose. Did the defense play poor or the offense? by your definition every loss is on the entire team...so if we fire the OC the DC should be fired too or vice versa? |

I agree it's a team loss, but in this league, the MEAC, our offense should put up 30 points by getting off the bus. |

Stop making excuse. Washington is not your traditional 2nd year coach. He has been coaching for almost as long as I have been alive and I am in my 40s. He is not a young head coach. Trust me, it's different when you are the one where the buck stops, a lot different. Different decisions, different pressures, different managing a full staff, different demands from administrator, different interaction with the media, everything is different no matter how many years you've been an assistant. He really has to work on two things IMO. First, figure out how improve team discipline and still be himself (a players coach). Secondly, he needs to do the same thing Broadway did which is to assess his Offensive Coordinator every yearand determine whether the talent of the offensive side of the ball is being maximized. And answer questions like 'Would a separate QB coach help free up the coordinator?' similar to Barnette and Hester. Those are the two things that accounted for our losses in his first two years so far. When those two things are solved this off season, we'll be ready. |

Ruiz was the man, on the 46-yard FG, even on getting placement on the onside kick.

I agree it's a team loss, but in this league, the MEAC, our offense should put up 30 points by getting off the bus. i would agree, but our play calling was horrible. especially down the stretch during the last minutes of the game. we kept throwing hail mary's even though morgan's secondary had dropped completely back darn near in a prevent defense. all of the underneath stuff was "wide open". all we had to do was take what the defense was giving us and run out of bounds. we only had to go 50 yards for a game winning td. we had "plenty of time" to take the 6 or 7 yards a pop or more "wide open" underneath passes that the defense was giving us. and even if we couldn't get out of bounds, all we had to do was spike the ball. we had 4 downs to get a first down and morgan was virtually giving it to us but we didn't take it. instead, it was bombs away! right into the teeth of morgan's secondary. it was very frustrating to say the least... |

The defense played well enough. By no means did they have a great game, but it should’ve been enough for a win. Our defenders play for turnovers, but forget to make the basic play first. I lost count of the number of missed tackles because we were trying to strip the ball. Also, the DBs gave up completions trying to break on balls and take it to the house. Offensively we were a mess! Those of us who sat through the cold and watched it should be forgiven for any “overreaction.”

Broadway had his nemesis too. Morgan beat us at T on the last play of the game. Central beat us in two championship games. Washington is not an experienced head coach but he has won some big big games for the Aggies! The criticism I have of Washington is it seems he is a players coach. Player's like him. IMO the problem with players coaches is they are great in marquee games but apparently not so great in less important games evidenced by the lack of discipline. The BD experts said this was a TRAP GAME so the outcome was predicted by many!!!!! Same thing happened last year. Whether we deserve it or not based on football purist opinion I want to be in Atlanta in December. If we’re there then we deserve it.

Oleschool is subliminally defending Carter. We get it dude. It wasn't his fault at all. Stop trying to steer us away from saying anything bad about him.
