When you have a HC that is so hell bent on going with one QB no matter how bad his passing stats are, that explains a lot of why we are in the situation we are in.
I was blown away by Sawvel's reasoning of why he put Svoboda back in at the end of the first half......(I paraphrase), 'well Svoboda had a good series in the last game where he took the team down the field in a few plays, and we scored....' please coach forget about all of the crappy plays that have happened, please! Please forget that you got a QB that is actually completing passes at a respectable clip, and you take him out because Svoboda "had A good series in the last game"! Unbelievable!
Sawvel talked about how the third quarter was our real problem and since we didn't score more than a couple of FG's then that was a big reason why we lost because we had such a good defensive effort in the 3rd quarter! Take Sawvel back to coaching 101 courses, please! If you have turnover's where the other team scores a TD you then have to score twice as much as you would have normally had to, to win the game....... hey coach Sawvel instead of getting a FG coach at the end of the first half you ended up giving the other team a chance to score, and score they did with a TD, that is a 10-point swing coach! How many points did you lose by? Far less than 10 points coach!!! .....and you put a guy in that is the worst statistical passer in America to run your offense in the last minute of the first half and he makes a horrible pass, yes maybe the route wasn't run well, but Svoboda made it easy for Utah State to get the ball back with time left on the clock. Margins are tight in games coach, you can NOT be giving up TO's in games if you expect to win!
I am sure of what everybody says about Svoboda. He is a great young man and a great teammate, but that doesn't complete passes. In fact, there were a lot of coaching question marks by Sawvel last night, and a bunch of them turned out to be bad. Last night's game was where Sawvel got outcoached by one of the youngest head coaches in America, ouch.
