What's really is a major issue is the lack of transparency in the program...
You get a lot of mis directions & not the truth....
Gowins wasn't used in the game due to the coaching staff didn't think he was effective & it was stated they didn't see him as a RB for 2018. He had a mild injury early in the season & when this staff makes there mind up you get no 2nd chances...
Gowins has shown improvement in his running game by showing more explosiveness & being more physical hitting the hole the last couple games & he is by far the strongest running back we have. Lointine & Gowins are both inside RB while Stacy is is more of a big play outside runner. This team needs both on the field.
We gave up 121 yard of rushing to 1 RB for Wagner; Maine has a 1000 yard RB & is much more physical... this is going to be a big issue for our D we have several players out hurt.
We need to use the short game & our TE RB SB in the passing game get 1st down & control the clock Carbone got nailed several times the line had a bad day; it's going to be 40 degrees a rainy & these conditions do not favor the deep ball or speed off the edge. Our front LT is out for the season & our line is banged up; this will be a tough game.
It's going to come down to who is the better coach & who makes the best adjustments in winning this game
Maine plays the run very well; so inside running going to be tough... If this staff believe they can walk into this game & play SBU current style & win this game then it will be a long day in Maine.
Wagner had 3 injuries to there D that change the aspect of this game last week for SBU; until then it was not an effective game.
SBU Going to Maine your not going to have that flexibility; Maine is will be ready to ensure we don't go to playoffs & they have a much better team on the field then wagner.
This is a game that will fall on the staff & how well the put an effective game plan together & who makes the better adjustment & who puts there team on the attack mode on both side of the ball......
I am going to church on Friday & i am praying for a great game and a win..
WE have the players... put them in the situation & give them the opportunity to make it happen & yes you do have good athletic seniors on this team that can help make this happen w the underclassmen.
