Shotgun's Thoughts
- Atrocious crowd today. Every MSU fan not at the game today that had the means and ability to come, but just choose not to should be ashamed. We can't build this program any bigger than what it is now with today's effort.
- Greg Eiland is coming along. He is a good body.
- I beg you guys to pay attention to Aeris Williams' pass blocking. Take a few plays and just watch him. I did this today and have an entire new respect for him.
- Wish Cook was as good against big time SEC teams as he is against bad teams. Also, when he pooches the ball, he needs to aim for the 5 yard line and not the goal line. He's just a little long.
- We are a good team, probably between 15-25th best team in the country, but we are extremely limited because we simply can't play catch. We are the really talented baseball team can't warm up down the line without over throwing each other, short hopping, and chasing balls to the fences. With short receivers and an inaccurate QB, we consistnetly don't make the routine plays in the passing game because we can't play catch. Throw out the top level talent thing. If this team could play catch and make the fundamental throws and catches, we are immediately a significantly better team.
- Fitz is an outstanding football player, but not a QB. Can't play catch. Has a rocket arm but throws it over your fence and into the neighbor's yard.
- Due to Fitz's inability to play catch, I wish we went deep more. As evidenced by Couch's TD today, it's my opinion that the deep ball is actually the pass the Fitz throws best. He lacks the touch and the ability to read defenses quick enough to be an above average passer, but he can chuck it. He's like weekend golfer that can hit it a mile but has a shitty short game. Best from long distances.
- where do you sign up to get Vandy and KY in your schedule in the same year? I don't want to hear about final records. It really speaks to how unfair the SEC schedule can be.
- Getting Cory Thomas back will be big. Hopefully it's soon.
- Again, we are good but limited by a QB with reliever like control pitching to tiny strike zones. It'll be the same thing in 2018 unless Fitz can make a major jump in reading defenses and accuracy.
- I see 8 wins. I think we lose to Bama and one more because we collectively are a 10 year old baseball team that struggles to sustain drives against quality teams because we can't make the fudemental plays in the passing game. Can't play catch.

Good post. You notice how basic we played on defense today? Nothing exotic hardly any blitzing. And still stuffed them.

Hell Gun if we're that much like a baseball team let's bring up somebody from AAA.

We did this in 2014 ... when we won 10 regular season games. We had to scrap like hell to beat KY tho.

Not bad, I ain't buying the win total yet though. Ask me again next week.

Nobody should ever be ashamed of not coming to a game. It's entertainment, people. Lol

But I agree with you on Fitz. He's an amazing athelete and has heart to spare, but he still struggles throwing the ball. He's as good as he's likely gonna get.
-
Great post. Fitz' passing is being made to look worse than it is though by our receivers. There's not arguing about his touch, but he gets enough balls on their hands than we should have several more catches per game and several more drives that would've been sustained. I don't buy the spider man hands gray stuff. I know some of those are contested balls, but shit, you have to catch some of them. Just b/c a defender bumps into you isn't an excuse for a drop every single time. Our whole wr group has a problems.

My 11 year old daughter and 82 year old father in law was there and stayed for the entire game. 82 you bunch of pussies.

He was 62% today.

If you want better, get your ass to THESE games. The big games will always take care of themselves.

He was, but those to INTs in the endzone were all on him, and had they been against a SEC team one of them would have been a Pick 6 for sure. The other one might have been. BYU is SLOW.

Well, 62.5%... Most folks would call that 63%.

I believe he was in the 60% against LSU. Playing GA and Auburn on the road with a young O line was had a lot to do with Fitz passing game.
I don't understand why you have to bring the guy down?

I ain't gonna bitch so much on crowd, yes it was bad but playing a bad BYU team, had our butt's handed to us the last two games, 11 o'clock kickoff with temps upper 80's are not good. Hey lots more Blue Hairs than students and young people attended! LOL.
It will be a great crowd next week, let's hope we play our best game.
Finally, we dominated but we weren't sharp by any means, I think we will get better. Just make tackles, complete the easy passes and quit giving up the big plays!

Dropped passes are killing drives.

We dont disagree much, but both of those were on the receivers.

Agree. It's not just Fitz.
It's a collective failure of not being able to play catch.
Our best play today was the QB draw and that just isn't a reliable tactic against legit teams.

Not bringing him down, just stating facts. Against a decent opponent those two would have lost the game. You can't do stupid crap like that.

Watch them again. Both were balls that never should have been thrown.
