After this past weekend’s games, @GreenWaveFB is 4th in the @American_Conf in Points Allowed (technically 3rd since there is a tie for 1st place between South Florida and Temple). Yet we are 11th (technically tied for 10th with UAB) in Points Scored. The story for our offense is a little more concerning than that however. Of the 67 points we have scored to-date in conference play, 14 have been via defensive touchdowns (one pick 6 each against Memphis and UTSA). That means that our offense has scored 53 points in 3 conference games, two of which have been home games, and the other was against an Army defense that was in disarray at the time. When you look deeper at our offensive output, we have only scored 5 offensive touchdowns in those 3 conference games. 6 FGs and 5 TDs in 3 conference games. Hats off to our defense as they are playing hard and are clearly taking pride in and executing on the goal of improving week to week. Kudos to Coach Polk and his staff. It’s time to see the same from our offense. Our conservatism and inefficiency on offense is THE problem this season. If Callaway doesn’t get more creative, then Hall needs to either take over play-calling or get someone else to do it. If he can’t or won’t do that, then that becomes a different problem to deal with. As a Tulane alum who lives through the Davis and Teevens years (11 wins TOTAL during my 4 years), I can definitively say that these are not those teams. In terms of our on-field talent, we are now bringing loaded and high-caliber guns to the proverbial gun fight - and that includes our offense. Injuries? We have depth. Underperformance (anyone else tired of seeing open receivers drop passes)? We have depth. You can only ask so much of a defense. Locker rooms and cultures get lost when everyone doesn’t pull their weight equally. Everyone sees it, even if no one says it out loud. Leadership makes sure that doesn’t happen, and it doesn’t allow egos or favoritism to be more important than that. With the resources and the talent we have, good coaches will get it done. The jury is still out, but the deliberations won’t go on much longer. @TUptownUpdate
