Re: I dont really care if you need to feel like youre being greedy or not

I recognize there is a learning curve and we all learn at different levels and speeds. Maybe now, with some of the expectations lowered, we can play a little more relaxed and focused. I'm hoping we will take this opportunity to get some of our younger talent more reps and start to get them ready to play bigger roles next season.

I do hope we finish strong and get into a decent bowl game. Where and who we play is not as important as just getting that extra practice time to come together and gain more experience.

There is still a lot to play for even if most of our goals are beyond us. This season can still be a good setup for the one to come. If we can hold all of our recruits, we will have some great talent coming in that will really help shore up some of our talent gaps.

Still excited to see us finish strong and even more excited to see what is to come in 2024.

Go Tigers!

Re: TNET: Klubnik talks further on last play at Miami, says it's time to get greedy about winning

I'm glad he mentioned the need to focus on the game as a whole because that's something a lot of fans need to do as well. Everybody always focuses on the last thing that maybe, possibly, could have won a game for their team. But that ignores the fact that the team is still in need of progress elsewhere. Does Shipley get in? Who knows. No ones opinion about that is anything but a guess no matter how strongly they feel about it. Do they then convert the two point play? Again, who knows. This isn't a championship caliber team no matter whether they beat Miami or not.

Line play was a problem and has been. Turnovers were a problem and have been. Play calling was a problem and has been. Riley seems like a guy who wants to run an offense he doesn't have the players to run it with and doesn't know how to do anything else. Reminds me of Chad Morris. Brilliant on paper but lacking when it comes to actually using the resources available. If you were dead set on a run play at the end then why call a shotgun handoff which takes things from 4th and inches to 4th and two yards, gives Miami an extra split second to read the play and hadn't worked worth a darn the whole game. And why Shipley? In that situation you need power and size and Mafa is the bigger and stronger guy.

But the bigger question is why are we talking about a last second game tying score that may or may not have happened? If not for the turnovers we're not in that situation. If not for the pressure we allowed we're not in that situation. If not for a lack of fundamentals in ball handling and decision making we're not in that situation. Miami did nothing special other than have some big and strong guys on their lines. Their offensive coordinator used his resources properly and their defense just kept us contained. Simple, disciplined and fundamental football. We can boast about our superior talent all day but we have to show it on game day and not just on the practice field. Heck, I'm a world class golfer on the driving range. Not so much on the course.
