Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread Hawaii

[Boston Rebel 2]

This is the worst UNLV has played on offense this year. Almost looks like they have never played together before

It looks like an Arroyo offense.

 

[j. spilotro]

Happy feet for Hajj. He doesn’t want to throw. Offense awful. Defense is fine enough.

Worst offensive cohesiveness all year long.

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

Marion needs to manage his emotions better on the sidelines. He appears to berate his QBs when they make mistakes. I get he’s frustrated but his behavior sets a poor tone for the team. He did the same last year with Maiava and I thought maybe it was bc Maiava wasn’t “his” QB. Just a bad look and very different from Odom’s approach (recall when our receiver dropped the game-tying TD in the end zone against Fresno last year).

Yeah go coach it up better instead of bitching.

Or worse a Hauck offense, minus Cornett!

 

[unlove]

Let’s see if we can run a 2-min offense

 

[unlove]

DeJesus still hurt I take it?

 

[InZoneU]

Happy feet for Hajj. He doesn’t want to throw. Offense awful. Defense is fine enough.

Worst offensive cohesiveness all year long.

He doesn't have time to complete the 15+ yard routes. He has no options. What do you want him to do?

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

DeJesus still hurt I take it?

And McDuffie? I thought he was almost ready?

Surprise Hajj runs…again.

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

Dumb ass play by Thomas run the damn ball out of bounds.

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

And of course another miss. They are trying to give this away 20 points left on the field.

 

[Rebel1986]

The way the UNLV offense is playing in this game, they would be lucky to beat anyone this year. Stupid plays and mistakes all over the place.

 

[unlove]

And I thought the Runnin Rebels were frustrating to watch today

 

[lvrebalum2012]

And McDuffie? I thought he was almost ready?

Surprise Hajj runs…again.

Mcduffie has been playing. He came back against Boise.

 

[saulpaul21]

Our hoop team looks better coached than our offense today.

 

[j. spilotro]

Well, we TEND to do ok in the second half after adjustments, but when that’s been the case it was defensive.

Our problems are all offense.

 

[WYNN or Dye]

Can't miss, these easy field goals buddy.
I, know you are a true freshmen on the road but still.

 

[InZoneU]

Our OC is wearing out his welcome quickly. He is the coach. Make some adjustments and quit yelling at your players. Right now it seems his only play is to call a pass and let Hajj run for his life. Genius stuff.

 

[rebelzzz]

3 redzone visits that we cant put it in the endzone. We should have 18 more points

 

[rebelzzz]

If Hawaii's qb is accurate on his long bomb they will score at will.

 

[j. spilotro]

He was inaccurate on that one, but a touchdown. Never really envisioned UNLV playing from behind in this one. They’re a lost team right now. Lucky it’s vs Hawaii.

 

[Rosegreen1]

If Hawaii's qb is accurate on his long bomb they will score at will.

It was way under thrown, Catalon just didn’t pay attention and didn’t put the brakes on.

 

[rebel5280]

I think we are safe from our coaches being poached!
But maybe they can get a happy meal and a large drink for Marion this off season!

 

[j. spilotro]

Maybe we will get a bid in the Mordechi Refund Double The Difference to You in Cash Bowl.

 

[Rosegreen1]

Whoa! Offense woke up!

 

[lvrebalum2012]

Burrell bringing the spark we need?

 

[Rebel1986]

Whoa! Offense woke up!

I will wait and see what happens the rest of the way before saying that. While the defense has played very well for most of the game, the offense appears to be lost with the exception of a few plays. I have no clue if it is because Hawaii is playing good, UNLV is playing bad, or UNLV just psyched themselves out coming into the game in Hawaii?

I prefer the Bourbon Bowl. Last game of the year, can’t hold anything back.

Hawaii has a good DL, but it’s also the lack of execution by Hajj. We looked very rusty prior to the TD drive.

 

[rebel5280]

It’s a good thing we already have 6 wins!

 

[rebelzzz]

With how much Hawaii's qb has run why arent they leaving someone to stay on him to prevent these long run

 

[unlove]

Time for the defense to make some plays

 

[unlvlurker]

Time for Marion to move on. He system isnt bad but he makes to many bad play calls

 

[rebel5280]

I blame Marion for how unimaginative and predictable we look but some of this is on Hajj and the O-line!

 

[j. spilotro]

They’re screwing the pooch.

Back to back games with under 30 points for a team that scores above 40 per game.

and scoring this game was a huge struggle. Two missed FG’s, penalties and one of the worst red zones in the country.

It’s nauseating when your offensive wizardry is your bread and butter.

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

Mcduffie has been playing. He came back against Boise.

I haven’t even noticed him today

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

3rd and 6 and designed QB draw…again. Then 2nd and 16 and a pass. Play calling is horrible today.

 

[Rebel1986]

Put the ball into the hands of the RB and stop the same play calls over and over again. Just when I wrote this, they put it into the hands of the RB 3 times in a row and got a TD. They need to keep the ball on the ground and run out the clock now.

 

[Rosegreen1]

appears the game plan is to just wear down their DL/LBers.

 

[Rebel1986]

I like that UNLV plays Hawaii, but at the same time I hate that they play Hawaii. The games always give you way too much stress!

This team would be at 40+ in the game right now if the special team and defense touchdowns counted. It's not like the offense was putting up all the points in the previous games.
