Troianus Acies Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 6,170 Likes Received: 8,406 Oct 20, 2018 #884 I just turned the game off as well. (4th quarter 34 to 14 UTAH) The worse display of zero preparedness for the UTAH game in offensive game plan, play calling, and same old trainload of shit preparation practices, lack of team identity, a non existent offensive line, team running out of gas in the third quarter (of course the defense was on the field 80% of the time until I could take no more and stopped watching in the early 4th quarter). 99 total offensive yards in the first half . Eight pass plays called out of the first nine plays called at the start of the game. 0 for 9 at third down attempts for a first down at the start of the fourth quarter. The worse display of play calling thus far from a playbook that is worthless to begin with. The destruction of a true freshman quarterback by poor coaching, poor play calling, poor game preparation, poor pass protection and a host of other dismal coaching failures. Non existent team enthusiasm and swagger. As the defense was worn down the secondary began to fold, tackles were missed, and a bunch of tired defensive players just could not keep up with the PHYSICALLY PREPARED Utah offense. Specially when on the field foe the majority of the game. I have finally had it! Clay Helton is deaf dumb and blind as a coach when he cannot and has not done a dam thing about was is obvious to every sportscaster, football analyst, knowledgeable fan and probably the school janitor. The season, thus far, has been a display of stagnant or declining performance from a Trojan team with the greatest number of talented players in the PAC 12 available to the coaching staff. I can see us losing at least 1 or 2 more games and maybe end up with a Toilet-Bowl game that we may lose as well. I love the Trojans and will cheer them on as much as possible for every game they play regardless of the outcome. I just hope that I do not have to turn away early in the fourth quarter (as I did with Utah) because it is just to hard to bear the shameful performance. gubo&palanka, FritzA and Ztrogan like this.

TrojanCampaign Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 1,560 Likes Received: 947 Oct 20, 2018 #889 He had no business starting at all this year. The kid is talented but people seemed to not see that he was playing high school teams. Going straight from high school to D1 with no redshirt season is usually a horrible idea. Especially with the new redshirt rules that allow you to play for four games. He should have been splitting time as the backup with Fink to get experience but taking a redshirt after game #4. Rushing into the game does not improve your draft stock. TrojanHorse likes this.

We need to start trimming from the top. Swann is first to go...for not doing something about this bullshit. Then get rid of all the coaches after the season. Hire a coach with a great coaching resume and let him pick his staff! Get rid of the mediocrity!!! ConquerorSC likes this.

I think he's fatiguing and getting scouted out. He's not been good the last couple weeks. It's gotta be Fink and Sears from here on out. gubo&palanka likes this.
