The 2nd Half problems weren't play calling, they were player performance

The Dark Knight All-American

Inaccurate passes. When the passes were accurate, they were dropped.

Player development is still a coaching issue, but it is different from the one everyone is complaining about.

Ok, he said they should have been more aggressive .

Listen again. The opposite.

The worst call of the second half was not being conservative enough and throwing

Kalani agreed with you & said they probably should have been more conservative.

Have to disagree there, under ARod we are terrible in short yardage runs

How different did it look if passes in receivers hands are caught instead of

TailgateU

Sep 30, 11:56pm

It really wasn't. We just dropped the passes and didn't execute.

I think it was more predictable in the 2nd half than conservative

CameronG

A higher percentage of pass plays were called in the 2nd half than the 1st

MaximusMeridius

It scares me how he defines being aggressive.

What's your proof?

Kalani, my friend, for your sanity, stay off CougarBoard

He might not be here but others on staff are. It gets back to him.

Soupie

Good. He needed to feel the pressure a bit more

byuTX

I felt much more like he was addressing Jake Hatch.

tkh9

Sep 30, 11:12pm

Hatch just parrots what he reads here on CB and on X, so Kalani addressing

I’ve wondered that. Before I got on CB I always wondered how guys got inside

That’s called leadership. Seeing all sides and acknowledging that your pursuit

Gotta end the interview and not answer questions you aren’t asked

Garn

Sep 30, 10:00pm

The problem isn't mindset, it's specific play calling and execution.

unctoothman

Sep 30, 10:00pm

What specific playcall didn’t you like?

macdizzle

Sep 30, 10:07pm

I’ll answer—the ones that didn’t work.🙂 Yeah, I know— that was too general.

Brisco

Running it on every 2nd and 10 and 3rd and 10… then passing on 3rd and 2 (pick)…

LOLzzz

Sep 30, 10:29pm

He didn’t run it on every 2nd and 10. Go rewatch the game. I agree on 3rd and 2.

macdizzle

Sep 30, 10:31pm

Go rewatch the second half. A majority of second and third and longs were runs.

LOLzzz

Oct 1, 7:23am

Of their 5 drives after made FG in 2nd half, they threw on 3rd down 3/5 times.

Also, the game was far from over. Don’t get the first down and they have a

The Baylor defense had adjusted and figured out the offense....

Knight-who-says-ni

Oct 1, 11:32am

I think the plan was for receivers to catch passes so drives didn't stall

runnincoug

Oct 1, 11:51am

True. Lassiter had become a wild card. But Jake still kept throwing to him. Our tight ends twiddling their thumbs.

Hindsight is 20/20 ... but the criticism after the Wyoming game was why ...

Sounded more like a leader there than his usual I'm not going to say anything.

I like the try, but this doesn't help Roderick. The futility in the 2nd half is

Blue Ghost

Sep 30, 10:57pm

If this is true? Did you not watch the game?

tkh9

Sep 30, 11:09pm

I don't get your criticism. Kalani was trying to defend his guy, but removed

Blue Ghost

Sep 30, 11:39pm

I guess we’re even.

Sep 30, 11:44pm

Adjustments may have happened, but the biggest difference I saw was in execution

TailgateU

The 2nd Half problems weren't play calling, they were player performance

Right. Go ahead and complain, just don't complain in nonsensical ways

I think I'd give Norm Chow-ish answers at this point and be done

Belboz

There are different definitions Fake punts aren't conservative.

shakarocks

Oct 1, 3:12pm

To Kalani's point, we threw two picks. Maybe should have run the ball even more

RGGeemer

"We played not to lose" is a conditioned response. It wa not true in this game.
