Maybe it was just me, but I didn't think Tillman(maybe) shoulda been flagged for targeting. Looked like he led with his shoulder. The helmet to helmet looked like it was caused by the force of the hit. Should he have gone low? maybe mid and broke some ribs? Is he supposed to just let the guy make the catch? I don't get it. He didn’t get flagged for it. It was reversed when they checked the replay. It was a great legal hit.

Sometimes it's really hard to watch a game with a 3 year old.

Both went to review for targeting. Both were overturned. Tyrie's was helmet-to-helmet, but it happened because Tyrie was blocked into the guy. Tillman's was reversed because as said he led with his shoulder and it was just a big hit that was kinda high.

Sometimes it's really hard to watch a game with a 3 year old. I know the feeling. I’ve got 3 kids 6 years old and under! Makes it difficult to watch every part of the game.

I don't think we should fire the OC but i do wonder about the coaches on defense. Supposedly Wiley is a great DC but I have not seen it and the same goes for that coach from JMU who coaches the secondary. There is no reason to give up a 3 and 15 to vmi or any other team. We play great on 1st and 2nd down and blow it on 3rd down and i think VMI was 4/8 on 4th down conversions. I mean really!

We play great on 1st and 2nd down and blow it on 3rd down and i think VMI was 4/8 on 4th down conversions. I mean really! I think Wiley is a good DC. He was the DC for all those App State years and helped App St win those 3 national championships. He was with ECU from 2011-2015 during Ruffin McNeils tenure as Associate HC and although he was not the DC he had a major hand in improving the Defense during Rick Smiths tenure there. Those were the years ECU dominated UNC, NC State and Virginia Tech. A lot of his defense is "bend but dont break" which usually is a conservative allow a couple of yards here and there but dont fall victim to the big play and the D begins to tighten as the opposing team gets past the 50 yard line etc. Of course, we are breaking alot and we need to fix that, as it could cost us a some games with the better teams coming up. But we are super young on defense and many are still learning the system and will make mistakes. The hope is that they can correct the mistakes as they grow and gain more experience and also the offense needs to be able to score on the opposing team as the defense may be able to stop some opposing possession here and there but likely not every opposing possession. What I am saying is we can win with this team, but I doubt we shutout anyone and every team will likely score atleast a touchdown and possibly more so our offense has to prepared to score a lot. But with experience this defense with Wiley may be tough in the years to cone.

I was at the game and most of my obvious thoughts about it have already been expressed on this thread. However, I am surprised no one has commented or touched on the officiating. I'm usually the last person to point my finger in that direction, but in particular the back judge was flag happy all afternoon. Any deep ball thrown up in one on one coverage either way seemed to end up with a defensive pass interference call. He hit the VMI corner #11 with back to back pass interference calls on our first possession and that seemed to set the tone for the afternoon. One critical call that appeared to be obvious offensive pass interference on VMI for pushing off when we had them 4th and 4 and up 52-37 went against us. Had that call went our way then we at least win by two scores and the tone might be slightly more upbeat. I'm not making excuses, but he gave the DB's and corners very little room to try and make a play on the ball, and this seemed to go both ways, however with VMI's style of play it worked more to their advantage.
I said when we were down 21-14 and VMI was driving late in the first half looking to go up two scores, that if we escape with a win today it will likely be our last win of the season. After looking around at other scores from the league on Saturday, I'm hoping maybe I am wrong. This team reminds me a lot of 2016, where our only two wins were GW and VMI. Maybe i'm wrong but it appears like we are the worst 3-0 team in the history of sports. This Saturday will give us a direct indication of how the rest of the season will go and we will be able to put the speculation to rest. I look at the Furman game as a must win, because given the play of our secondary I see no possible way we can compete with Samford the following week. They will score as many as they want on us.

Don't forget, said back judge lined up on the wrong side of the field at the start of the 4th quarter. He had to blow his whistle to keep play from beginning so he could line up correctly!
