Let's revisit the 2008 Jackson State-Mississippi Valley State Game. JSU Homecoming


Re: Let's revisit the 2008 Jackson State-Mississippi Valley State Game. JSU Homecomin

Man Totten was really bad then. :lmao: I wish I could have been at this game. Had to be the funniest stuff in history. :lol:
The ref blew his whistle twice to signal the team to come back and line up on the field. The team was on the field and on sides. They were just standing around the coach until the ref marked the ball ready for play. JSU snapped the ball while Valley tried to get in position. JSU ran about 40 yards to the left for a touchdown while the Valley coaches jump up and down on the field. They should have called a penalty on the coaches and marked it off on the kickoff.

So what yall saying is Totten makes Jones up the middle play for three quarters seem like a genius? :lol: I didn't think it could get any worst. Better yet worster. :lol: Man I swear I bet one of my boys one time we would run the same play 50 times that didn't work. He laughed at me. At the end of the game he gave me my 100 bucks. he said I never knew a coach could be that dumb. :lol: Up the middle. To the left. Up the middle, to the left. :shame: We were like man if we are seeing it ain't working, how could you be a coach and not see it. :lol:

In the 2008 game Totten made two great coaching moves.

In the first quarter went for a 4th a 4 arount his own 30 yard line. The chain gang didn't turn the yard marker to 4th down until they were coming to the line. Totten thought it was 3rd down.

In the forth quarter Valley has the ball around the JSU 20 yardline, behind by one or two points, the clock running with about 1 min. left, and Valley with a time out. Totten calls a pass play the QB is hit and fumbles the ball JSU recovers and runs out the clock.

Y'all ain't right for Clowning Totten :lol:
I'm still laughing at 2008 though. The look on those valley fans' faces... Priceless.

That 2008 Valley game was the worst I have ever felt at a JSU game in the final minute, until that SU game a couple years ago. I'm standing there with my hands on my hips thinking, "we 'bout to lose to Valley???" Easily in FG range. All they needed to do was to put the ball where the kicker wanted it. When that QB dropped back and Robinson planted his ass, you talk about happy.

And as for 2004, I have said time and again that Totten was a worse coach than ****. I've seen offenses take forever out of a timeout and get a penalty or have to use another time out. But I ain't never seen a defense ignore repeated warnings to come onto the field. When the ref blew the whistle to play, I'm yelling snap the damn ball. We did, and ran a simple handoff to Kennebrew. It was hilarious watching Valley players chasing our team to the endzone.

Make that inside the ten yard line. Basically an extra point kick for the win, but ole good luck charm Totten called a pass play.:smh::lol:
 
Re: Let's revisit the 2008 Jackson State-Mississippi Valley State Game. JSU Homecomin

pops already told you. It was a timeout.. both teams went to the sideline.. JSU came back when the timeout was over and lined up... Valley didn't. JSU snapped the ball.. and got a TD. What part confuses you? Totten just made the biggest f up in college football that year. :lol:

There gotta be a video of that somewhere.

I was in on that play in 2004 at Fullback. I remember looking for a second like WTF are they doing. Bad part is, that we paused a good 4 seconds at the whistle and waited on Valley.

Nah it wasn't that close, the ball was on the 20-30 yard line range, on the right hash mark. All Totten had to do was run a simple dive play to the left to get the ball in the middle of the field and let Zack Gilarski kick the game-winning field goal, as he had done as a freshman against Alabama A&M in 2006, but noooooo.............

Last year's game was the same story. Valley had the ball driving on their end of the field towards the end of the game. A touchdown or even a fG would have put them up. They found a way to succumb to the pressure and "give" JSU the ball back. JSU ran the clock out and ended their chances.

Last year was more about players failing to execute than coaching. If the offense would have stopped shooting themselves in the foot, we could have punched it in and won the game.
