Offensive playcalling could not have been worse. I have never in my life seen such ineptitude.

1 and 10? Run the ball

2nd and 15? Screen pass

3rd and 15? Run the ball.

Every pass was a curl route. The only successful passes were slants. Nothing at all down the field. Horrendous all the way around. I find solace and comfort in the fact that no matter who is in charge, I know exactly how my school will play

with the new coaches and player changes I actually thought this would have been a more competitive game. this team has some work to do. again though albin is here to establish an identity so thats going to take some time

I am sorry this guy mean Joe green has never ever made a single positive comment on this board. Why is he ilhere? Just to complain. He is totally silent until something negative happens then he disappears until something negative happens again. If something positive happens, he never comments. He should be banned from this board. I would think that he is an ECU or App Store fan rubbing our noses in our misery but I know he is just someone that loves misery and finding fault with anyone and everyone around him. I hope everyone in this board loves his misery.

Doesn’t help that we had a false start on the first down of most drives in the first half

high school lines vs college lines, not even what they will see when they face GA

Tonight’s game reminded me of the Lambert era playing style except special teams were better.

Forgot about UGA. Hope that’s only on ESPN+

Please no Niner on Niner violence please

There is nothing positive about tonight aside from the tailgate. If Harrell remains QB I’d put our over under at two wins. The problems go deeper than him but there is no hope if he remains the starter. This loss is as bad as it gets. There is nothing positive I can take from this game. It’s going to be a long year.

I’ll give you a quick outside opinion—the issue is lack of continuity. The fan base and administration need to be patient. You hired a coach who’s had success and been around success, so now it’s time to trust the process. And by the way, that process is going to take longer than most people expect. Don’t look for a Year 2 jump like he had at Ohio. Remember, Frank Solich was winning 8–9 games a year at Ohio for a decade before Tim Albin took over. This is going to be a much longer rebuild.

I was at an event last week with P.J. Fleck at Minnesota, and as crazy as it sounds, he said the culture of his program started with the summer youth camps. Someone will always be offering more money—legally or illegally—but he said they’re now winning the recruiting battles in and around the state because of the impact those camps had.

Sure, you might catch lightning in a bottle with a strong portal class, but that doesn’t set a program up for long-term success.

Good luck the rest of season.

Nah, ‘79er, we can’t be doing that. You and I are typically on the same thought process, unfortunately for you. Every one here is because they want the niners to successful, just show it in different ways. We are all afraid today was misery, because we don’t know any different.

just setting expectations, but you know what it will be??? $1.7m toward stadium expansion.
