Today on Tuck and O’Neill they were interviewing a UCF player. I won’t say who it was but this was the exchange.
O’Neill: Tell us how the team felt after the disappointing loss.
Player: Well, we are disappointed. We played hard, but we didn’t play smart.
Who’s JOB is it to get these players to “play smart”? Who is getting paid millions of dollars to “coach them up”? We are at week 4. And through ALL of last year, and 4 weeks of this year we have made every mistake you can make at least twice. Personal Fouls when you had a team stopped? Check. False starts in short yardage? Oh yeah. DBs horribly out of position? Been there, done that. Costly turnovers? Dozens. Dropped passes? A bushel full. When does “how to play smart” start to kick in? Other teams make this game look easy. We make it look like we’re trying to build the Egyptian Pyramids with a bunch of mules. We can’t execute a five yard slant route? We can’t get a field goal off the ground and pointed in the right direction? We can’t hang on to the ball in the other teams secondary? This has been going on for 16 games!
