I hate complaining about refs, esp when we are down, but they are gifting this game to ECU. Unbelievable. If I was Beamer I'd lodge a complaint after this game, get these guys off the field. Absolutely atrocious.

That team in orange and maroon ain't so good either.
Your clock management hurt you worse than any official.
We haven't reversed roles with ECU. They aren't what we once were and never have been. When they were aspiring to be us we were a good program. We just aren't that kind of program anymore. The officiating today was as horrible as I've ever seen, and so was our tackling.
Are you kidding, you had the ball with over 5 min. and continued to take the play clock down play after play. No sense of urgency at all. You guys have no one to blame but yourself, but if it makes you feel better to blame the refs.....go ahead. HR will agree I'm sure.Huh? That's not even remotely close to being an accurate statement. What are you talking about?
We had the ball at midfield with 2:00 left on that drive, so there was still plenty of time on the clock. All we had to do was catch wide open passes and keep the chains moving.

Correct.....no sense of urgency. Running QB draws at that point looked like London was in charge. Tough loss to a team that should have been blown away, especially after you were up 14-0. Good news for you is the coastal is yours to lose.....He's talking about the drive before that, when Hodges dropped the 4th down pass near midfield.

The point is if you had had a sense of urgency you had plenty of time for 2 real drives not one and a prayer. I'm not nitpicking, I'm calling it as I saw it. We don't have to agree but if you believe running your QB and the clock was great offensive play calling then I guess you are happy with the results.Yeah but even that drive was only 2 minutes and 46 seconds. I mean c'mon. Drive was looking fine. Hodges dropped a wide open ball....we held them and still got the ball back with a minute. You're nitpicking.

I agree. I don't think that the late game was mismanaged. If we catch wide open passes and score and don't leave any time on the clock while doing so, we go to overtime. If we don't, then of course we don't leave ourselves any time for another drive (which is what happened), but I don't think we were trying to budget the time to support two drives there to begin with. Instead, I think we were trying to make sure we had one good drive going, which we did.
It is what it was.....all or nothing. I just felt like a lot of time was wasted. Once you got to 4th down so much time was gone, it was panick time if you didn't convert......guess what, you didn't. You had no chance to go the length of the field in a minute with the offense you were running...none...zero. JMO.
I agree no biggie here....tough lose. Didn't see ECU scoring in Bud like he did, strange game.I guess we have different mindsets. No biggie. We just disagree. I don't think it was panic time though.

LOL....you sound like Frank now, these are just preseason games...I have said and will continue to say you can win the Coastal.To be fair....I think Foster had his people where they were supposed to be multiple times to make a stop.....but our defenders just didn't execute and had some horrible missed tackles. Oh well, it is what it is. The ACC Coastal should be a god awful ugly mess of a battle this year....let the least awful team win! haha
Also, not having Fuller and having Stroman in there was a huge problem. Kid looked lost 95% of the time. At the end of the day, of course you want a win...but we were never going to a BCS game and this has no effect on the ACC so...let's just win those.

100K is right. There was no time management issue. On our next to last possession there was not enough time to believe that we would have sufficient time for another drive. Not the way our defense was playing. That had to be considered our do or die drive. Instead, we were trying to burn clock as we went down the field so there would be no time left for ECU to bust through any more of our lousy tackling for another score.
Thinking that there was enough time left to rush for 2 possessions is the way I would expect London to play it.
I knew we weren't going 95 yds in 58 seconds in the rain with only one wr that we throw to. Despite Hodges' crucial drop, I think he is a super weapon and for whatever reason we are refusing to maximize his potential. At 6'7 he should be catching 10 per game.
