I think Trisciani is a decent coach but he has to see that things aren't what they should be this year motivation wise and the offense hasn't been right, truthfully, since Cignetti's first year here. Speaking of that one good season, I have always liked the fight to the last minute, never give up mentality of Trish's teams. But even that seems to be waning this year. It's never easy to make personnel changes, especially with people who've been with you a long time, but even Trish has got to see that something needs to change.

Remainder of season will be a struggle. With the talent we have, we should be contenders in CAA. We should have beaten WC, but we couldn't go the distance. We were outplayed by ETSU in every way. Every game will challenge us, even Hampton and A&T, as both are proud teams and will be highly motivated.
Incidentally, Lankford looked very smooth on his one pass play, and Salopek looked very comfortable in final minutes. This gives me hope for a possible Cheek/Baughman-type combo in future.
Go, Phoenix!

Just watched the game back and the moment when the offense got the ball back, down 10, with about 90 seconds left and 3 timeouts, but decided to run two running plays and went to half was when I think all morale was gone. The broadcast was stunned. I would love to hear the thought process on that.

We need to stop saying “Folmar did that”. Folmar calls the plays, Tony runs the game. Not being aggressive at the end of the half was Tony’s call. 1000%.

BTW did anyone see Rich Skrosky on the sidelines for Duke? I think Schrage and Skrosky are in the same position for their respective Duke coaches.

If you cannot run a two-minute offense with a returning QB, super veteran offensive line, and athleticism on the outside, then that tells me you don’t trust your offense as the head coach. Also, if Dovonte Edwards gets beat again by the QB run this week, his seats can get hot too.

I strongly agree with fear's analysis. There was absolutely nothing to lose by attempting to score in the final minutes of the first half. You mean we're not even going to try? I recall painfully that this was also Swepson's approach, not an exemplary model. So what if opposing defense knows you're gonna go for the big play? Line 'em up, face off, turn 'em loose, and see who's the better team. Downing, Dieke, Dalton, Brayboy, and Hardy can deliver if challenged. And, for Phoenix's sake, let Thomas and Baker run outside the tackles.
Go, Phoenix!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezkRNsdk2DoStarting at the :25 second mark in the post game interview he says it was his decision to run out the half. Doesn't exactly instill confidence. Coaching not to lose down 10. Go Phoenix!
