Lol @ people dogging Kehoe
I don't know if it is Kehoe, or our players are soft/just not good enough, but in short yardage. When the game is on the line. You need to get your *** out your stance and mow them ****es back.
This isn't just about the FSU game either. It's a scene that we have seen for some time.
They looked pretty strong and rugged in the 4th quarter of the UNC and Wake games.
4 qtr doesn't equal an entire game. One drive doesn't make up for lost opportunity.
UNC game 1st qtr, 2nd drive. 2 attempts on UNC 1 yard line. Duke gets stuffed for -3 yards. Morris misses moe, and we kick a FG.
UNC game 1st qtr, 4th drive. 2 attempts on opponents 7 yard line. 4 yards, and another incomplete pass from Morris. Results a FG.
That's 8 points lost in one qtr.
WF game 1st qtr, 1st drive. Dallas stopped on 3rd and 2 for no gain.
WF game 3rd qtr, 2nd drive. Duke, and DC, are both stopped on 3rd and 4th down. Inside WF 10 yard line.
You have got to make those plays more times than not, and you **** sure better make them on 4th down, or you take a chance and pop the entire teams balloon.
**** sure gonna need to do now that Duke is gone.
And games are more than an isolated 3rd or 4th down unsuccessful run. You mentioned a couple of unsuccessful rush attempts followed by Morris missing easy passes for TDs. Morris hits those gimme passes, and it's a non-issue. No one converts them all, but I think our running game, overall, is the least of our concerns (at least before Duke got hurt).
