So much for a convincing Aztec comeback from the Boise spanking. We were as bad as the Boise game.
Fresno State ran the ball up the middle time and again for 6, 8, 10 yards and more. Our linebackers were slo slow, so slo they could not get to the “w”. Fresno State’s qb had one killer long toss after another. Three Bulldog wide receivers had catches of 30, 33 and 48 yards respectively. Their qb averaged better than 17 yards per completion. The Aztec defense was present, yet elsewhere. In the sense of fog and a disappointing attempt to gather much water.
The other side was equally bad. For consecutive games our offensive line was inept. No idea what to do or who to block.
“I was supposed to take the linebacker?”
“Oh, that’s what coach Schmidt means by ‘good feet’?”
“Who am I?”
Rashaad Penny returning kickoffs was a picture of a man gazing at a menu for twenty minutes and then “Ahh. I’m not sure. I can’t decide.” the fourth time the waiter asks if he’s ready to order. Stutter stepping out of the end-zone is an ineffective method to develop a meaningful stride. If you doubt my wisdom, recall average field positions of 20, 24 and 22 yards in three of four quarters.
Again, Christian Chapman in the pocket is a disaster. Christian must be on the run parallel to the line of scrimmage at all times. When he stands still for more than three seconds expect a sack (4 if you were counting) or a gain of a yard.
In a word, AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
6-2/2-2.
