[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

How did he become such a garbage kicker?

[Home Jersey]

We obviously miss Mendoza but we definitely miss Coogan's leadership like hell too.

And we probably have a top 3-5 D in the country. Wild

Wasting a championship level defense

I'm calling it now: we settle for the FG attempt.   and miss it.

I guess you saw into the future  .

Apparently, backup punter, backup kicker, and backup QB are unfilled positions.

Edit: And punt returner.

Cig looks frustrated. He knows we cannot continue playing like this. 

Yet he keeps running Hoover out there. He must have no faith at all in the backups

[KingPG21]

So there it is. Can't put Hoover out there anymore.  Cig is failing this team by putting Hoover out there every drive

[Magnanimous]

This reminds me of the 2014 baseball team, when even with all the right pieces coming back we still had something off.

[TheWatShot]

I've been saying for weeks that we don't pass the eyeball test for a playoff team. I said the same thing after the Northwestern game and I still feel that way now. Maybe the field is that weak this year, I don't know. But we still look a lot more like an 8-4 team than a playoff team.

Rourke on one leg would pick apart these defenses. Josh is the issue.

Radicic is awful!

You can smell it in the air...

Who ever thought we'd see a team that looks this bad under Cig? 

[rcbowla]

If there is a worse ST in the country I feel bad for their fans.

He should have been preparing Wilson a few weeks ago.  They have to see Hoover in practice, they know he can't go.  Sticking with him makes everything else tight.  We have no margin for error because our offense can't do ****.

He looks more passively resigned to this than frustrated. 

[JSHoosier]

I didn’t expect Hoover to be Mendoza, but I did expect him to be better than he's been.

Doesn't mean a thing until he actually does something about it

Maybe Nico can throw and Hoover can kick FGs?

 

Couldn't be any worse, could it?

This is a bad football team. Defense is very good, special teams TERRIBLE, offense (QB) TERRIBLE. 

I am officially questioning Cig. PLEASE bench Hoover. I don't care why he iis terrible, he is terrible.
