I pretty much agree with Kyy and Chanson.
This was a loss on the road to a team that's about the same or slightly better than us. It was just a loss.
I think my analysis from last week is about the same. Using CUSA as the metric, we have a better than average D, and a worse than average O.
I felt Dimel called a decent first half, then for 20 or so minutes of the second half was just awful. Then picked it back up again after we were down big. We have an acceptable QB -- he is pretty good at quick, possession type passes out to about 15 yards. Beyond that he has no touch at all. Surely Dimel has to know this by now. Why is he going deep all the time? Awatt is WAY better than Fields. Why does Dimel give away so many plays to Fields?
I don't think Dimel cost us the game -- turnovers did that. But Dimel prevented us from having a chance to get back in it with awful game management and play calling. The ESPN guys mentioned that we tend to telegraph our runs and they are right.
I will say this, feel free to argue. IF we had just slightly better play calling and game management, and tweaked our offense slightly to telegraph the play just a little less we would be at 5-1 right now.
But we are loads better than we have been in about 5 years. Right now I will take a normal, non-humiliating loss. if I were a CUSA-level HS player, I would look at us and think this is a school I could be proud to say I play for. I don't think a lot of 2 star players thought that for the last 5 years.
