Re: We are bad...

He can pass, but he's not John Elway. You put your players in a position to succeed, and Rennie is not a deep threat.

You think? How about a 15 yard pattern to your All-American TE instead of going deep all the time. Unreal today.

Re: We are bad...

Our QB's threw 16 INT and completed roughly 55% of their passes this year. How is that fine?

Their talent and ability is fine. The play calling wasn't. I was at all 12 games, and win or lose, we left most of those games shaking our head at the offensive play calling.

That All-American TE needed to come back to the ball a few times today. You can't blame just one player for the mess this whole season was.

I could be wrong here but he did not even catch a ball today........how does that happen?

Re: We are bad...

I feel for you guys. The thing you have to wonder about is that Lehigh, like the rest of the schools in the Patriot League, does not offer athletic scholarships. Their scholarships are givin based on academics and need. Head up Panther fans, you'll be back.

Re: We are bad...

I think Alley was saying they should have had Oordt running shorter routes instead of going deep all the time.

Re: We are bad...

We should have had at least two deep TD passes today, but they were waaay underthrown. Rennie definitely was not 100% today. He is not a great passer, but he has made those throws this year.

I'm not one of the huge "play calling is terrible" people, but It wasn't very good today.

Where did I say I blammed one player? You have to put him in a position to catch plays over the middle instead of throwing it deep. Yep he can come back to the ball, but it's not that easy when you have to go through the defensive player to get to it.

I wasn't saying you were. There's just a lot of blame being put on #10 right now. I agree with your point that we needed to get it to him on some shorter routes.

Re: We are bad...

Some of you guys are missing the BIG picture here. UNI has tradition, facilities and Farley has shown he can recruit......but NOBODY has shown they can win a BIG Game. IF you have not left PN in the past 5 years....UNI is the laughing stock of FCS Playoffs football. No idea what it will take to turn this around.

Everyone running around asking for the next Eric Sanders and I agree he was extemely good....but how good would Rennie look with 2 OTs getting drafted.....

My point is to put them in the position to succeed. You have to play to your players strengths, but I don't think we did that today. No fault of any player and as it's your coaching staffs job to do that.

Re: We are bad...

I hope we go back to a passing qb next year, but I don't know if we have any good ones in the pipeline. I don't think we should have to adjust the play calling to overcome the qb's weaknesses. I want a qb that can hit a wide open receiver on his way to the end zone instead of underthrowing it 5-10 yards. We will have good running backs, hell Rennie would be a good running back.

This minus 1000.

Re: We are bad...

I think TR can become a better passing QB, provided he uses the off-season to become very familiar with his WRs. The bigger problem is I hope the O-line improves enough over the next year that they can protect the QB -- whoever it is -- so they have time to pass the ball.

Again, I will say that if this new offensive system is really what they want to do then they need to commit to it. Bringing your "passing" QB in on obvious passing downs makes this staff look amateurish.

It will probably take another year of growing pains before the system is fully implemented, but the staff needs to do everything to play that way if that is what they want.

There is a tradition of offense here at UNI, and they seem to want to change it. I have no problem with that, but you have Rennie for one more year, and then what? We need to be recruiting for this shift in philosophy.

My fear is that the coaches (ok Farley) won't have the conviction to go with the change, and half ass it the way they did this year.
