How about a Turnover by TCU? That has been a great play option for us.
Excuse me, but I have to say that Stanford's offense is a bloody embarrassment. What's up with O guru Taylor's offense?
Extremely depressing. Our receivers can't even seem to get any distance from TCU's D-backs. And Daniels doesn't look like he should be on the field. Also, the playcalling leaves a lot to be desired. We look like we should be playing Menlo College. As far as I can see, there's still plenty of time for us to lose going away, say 41-17.
A sad and accurate summary...
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - thunder_chik - 08-30-2024
Mistake to go on 4th down. ????
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - needle - 08-30-2024
TT's playcalling confounds (sometimes the defense, mostly just us fans).
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - MV72018 - 08-30-2024
Good Lord what a play call on 4th down and 5?!!! Sickening. What's wrong with Troy Taylor? 130 yards on O so far?

A 5 yard gain
I don’t know why not 10+ more of those by now
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - cardcrimson - 08-30-2024
Dumb call.
Where is our offense? We have given up on the run completely, if we ever tried it. Daniels is no bueno. . . .

But I do not understand his play calls
They seem to go for big plays when a short gain or two for a first down needed
So many 3 and outs
Or worse, 4 & out
It is like the opposite of possession football
So the opposite of Shaw + Tavita football? :) Seriously, we all bemoaned the + side punts from David Shaw, but that was way too far the other way.

The OL is awful. Daniels has flashes (maybe C level). But the OL is bad bordering on abysmal.
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - MV72018 - 08-30-2024
I like Troy Taylor as a person, but I'm not at all impressed with what I'm seeing so far. TT said that we'd be one of the most improved in the country this year? GIVE ME A BREAK. He probably meant, "one of the least improved in the country this year"!!! We are getting beaten at every turn. We're lucky it's not 35-17 at this point. Even on his big runs Daniels is SLOW. Eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later, TT is going to have to bite the bullet and go with Brown.
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - ADPinWDC - 08-30-2024
WOW, TCU hooks the FG... they suck
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - martyup - 08-30-2024
How in the Sam hell are we only down by 3? TCU is really trying to lose this game.

We will take all the breaks we can get. TCU is a bad team (no denying that). We will get crushed by Clemson and Notre Dame, and maybe at least 1 other ACC team. But if we can cobble together 6 wins, that is a positive and has to be the goal. The defense has shown enough (and we know the WR corps talent).
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - needle - 08-30-2024
TT has 11:43 to shut us all up. Here's to hoping that's what happens!
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - thunder_chik - 08-30-2024
Once again, better to be lucky than good...

I beg to differ: so far I haven't seen our receivers get any separation from any TCU defender, even Ayomanor's been covered like a blanket.
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - SkiBum80 - 08-30-2024
2 completions in a row to Ayomanor?!
Shocking!
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - martyup - 08-30-2024
Look at that. Short quick passes move the ball. Then we get fancy with a fly sweep and lose 7.
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - MV72018 - 08-30-2024
Finally Ayomanor makes an appearance!

The WRs have drawn penalties from TCU's DB. I kid, but I did say talent. You don't put up 300 yards receiving in a game and 1000+ in a season and not have it.
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - martyup - 08-30-2024
Daniels has no vision down the field.
That was PI against Elic and he caught it anyway.
TD!! ALL RIGHT NOW.
RE: FB -- TCU Game Thread - MV72018 - 08-30-2024
What a LOUSY play call to let em know we're coming up the middle! Come on!!!!
