How much more can an EMU alum take?

It's first and goal. You're down by 4 with around 30 seconds left. You have two timeouts, do you...?

A: Try to run the ball once or twice to try and punch it in easily

OR

B: Throw four straight meatball subs

Gotta love college QB decision making. Didn't even give his guy a chance

What were those 3 play calls? And the execution wasn't much better

Listening on radio so I can't see the play but I'm so mad anyways.

Our prevent defense is really fucking bad. Maybe just play this straight up?

2

u/anoddhue 3d ago

Going to be honest, it doesn't feel like a much of a drop-off between Kim and McCaughey at all.

u/Jackandahalfass 3d ago

Ok, EMU has a 98-yard drive. Can they do 99?

u/anoddhue 3d ago

Great drive followed by horrific special teams collapse 😔

This game is bonkers

u/ADMotti 3d ago

Boy where would we be right now without that mystifying fake FG in the third…?

u/ADMotti 3d ago

How did the ref let the replay guy talk him into no control when that is not obvious at all on replay? MAC refs stay dogshit…

Horrible defense on that scramble. EMU defense is a little too good at letting teams out of third and long situations.

u/Williaf 3d ago

Eastern Michigan's punter is literally the best punter I have ever seen

u/ADMotti 3d ago

Just an incredibly frustrating game. OU doing everything to beat themselves, from player mistakes to mind-boggling playcalling by the offense.

u/ADMotti 3d ago

I have to assume Eastern does not have anything resembling a design, communications or marketing program. If they did, someone surely would’ve gotten to the football team and suggested that a uniform setup where nobody can read your helmets or jerseys is actually a bad thing.

Did EMU not have a timeout? Ticker still showed one.

2

u/ADMotti 3d ago

No. They called both during OU’s last set of downs; ESPN missed that they called the second one. The booth was talking over when the ref very clearly said the last one was their third and final timeout.

1

u/buttchinbill 3d ago

That makes sense. I had the crew game on my main screen and just saw EMU rushing out but saw the ticker still had a timeout listed.

Make the team run laps at halftime.

u/ADMotti 3d ago

The tackling on EMU’s last drive the worst I’ve seen since Brian Knorr haunted our sidelines. Why tf are you all ripping at the ball just get it to half jfc.
