Re: football at Buffaloe State
WT might have not even have come out of the locker room this year.
The coaches attitude reflects directly upon the players, i see players who are playing devoid of passion, drive, fire, you name it, and it makes you think that they are reflecting the attitude of their leadership.
Eastern let the clock run out at WT's 3 yard line because Lee is a nice guy most other coaches would have scored instead it was 28-0 not 31 or 35-0. The game this year was in No way competitive. WT didnt even break 100 yards total offense till late in the third. Eastern after getting the ball with 1min left in the 3rd drove 74 yards on 17 plays, 2 4th down conversions and punched it in for a td, most of those plays were straight dives between the tackles. WT got the ball back down 4 scores with a little over 7 minutes left, punted and eastern ran the clock out on them stopping at the WT 3 to charge the hill and celebrate with the wheel.
The only time i say ANY passion in the WT side was 2 senior DLs who slammed their helmets down after eastern won.
The play calling was plain, both offensively and defensively. No initiative was taken to try to sieze momentum, even when WTs special teams had a few bright spots with a blocked punt in Eastern territory, and a fumbled punt return.
I can see why the WT faithful are happy to see the OC go, but their DC did them no favors that game either and the HC played conservatively the whole time, even when they were down by 21.
During Carthels time this was a big game, he knew, and he prepared his guys for it even when Eastern was in a terrible down slump.
If Hughes is happy to just brush it off then im more than glad to walk through that WT crowd wearing my green and silver smiling all the way to my car after a Hounds win.
Im interested in what Chip and others have to say on this cause I KNOW they care about where that wheel hangs.
