What grade do you give PJ Fleck for coaching in the Maryland game?
Whoever voted A needs to be slapped across the face with an oar..
I voted C. What, specifically, did PJ and staff do that irritated folks? Our team got whipped...and it looked like the staff had an idea that might happen, as they came in with a grind it out mentality and not wanting to throw much (which proved correct). Unfortunately, the D which had been pretty solid this year got gashed time and again...and played this game without their best player for the second year in a row. Sucks. Demoralizing. Not all (or even mostly) attributable to coaching IMO.

I don't agree, Maryland not a bad team, they beat Texas and have good athletes. Fleck calling timeout after 3rd quarter break not a good sign, should not happen. Three home run touchdowns by Maryland shows they have some skill and clearly have better lineman. Young guys make mistakes, but some of the biggest mikes made by Juniors on team. Disappointing lack of development in offensive and defensive lines. QB looked hobbled all game and throwing poorly because of no time, pressure and bad wheel. No points in red zone twice never good. Hated 3rd down run calls. Only player that had a good game were Bateman, Autum Bell and Herbers.

Sigh, if you call a play in the huddle and they setup in the right defense to depend that play, then you should call a timeout to correct it. That's called good coaching.
I gave the coaching staff a C. I think they tried to adjust but losing Winfield made everything more difficult.
I don't think our DBs should ever be outrun by a RB so that was extremely concerning, but sometimes things just don't pan out.
Looking forward to watching them at home after two weeks to prepare for Iowa.
It was more a reflection of the QB being so frazzled that at 4 seconds head coach had to call time out was the not a good sign or oh bleep moment. Anexstad correctly read the defense and tried to audible, change protections and the call at the line and there was confusion by others. This is where not having Rodney Smith in huddle and for protection would have helped. Would have liked a field goal for that reason to settle down have some reward. The Qb was frazzled because not everyone was reacting to what he was seeing from the D and tryng to change play, Zach had read but others did not catch on. Smith not being back there hurts pass protection dump off chances. They need Brooks for protection and on field leadership, hopefully they pick the right 4 games.Sigh, if you call a play in the huddle and they setup in the right defense to depend that play, then you should call a timeout to correct it.

They were not even close to prepared. There was some questionable play calling when the game was still well within reach. I have no idea how Temple was able shut down the Maryland offense while we gave up homerun after homerun.
What pissed me off the most....however....was early in the 2nd quarter (?) on 3rd down when the game was 14-3. A long "completion" down the sidelines into the redzone to CAB. We had all the time in the world to get a play off and there was absolutely ZERO awareness. Play ended up getting reviewed and overturned. We punt and Maryland scores a few plays later. 21-3. Absolute backbreaker. 100% on the coach.

First action of the 4-th quarter was a time out. Pathetic.
