[I seen it dawg]

It's GAMEDAY bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's run the ball down their throats and fly around on defense.

[msstate7]

Snap 1... Fitz or Williams?

[ShotgunDawg]

Snap 1... Fitz or Williams?

I think Williams will get the first with Fitz getting the most. My sense is this will be a Tyler Russell/Dak Prescott situation where it's extremely clear who the better, high ceiling QB is, but Williams will do enough to continue to get the start on paper with Fitz being the playmaker

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

It's Fitz per SEC network

[ShotgunDawg]

It's Fitz. WOW, Mullen breaking from the norm

[JoseBrown]

Fitz!!!!!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Only four true frosh on dress roster: WR Jamal Couch, DB John Hankerson, DL Marquiss Spencer, OL Stewart Reese,

Interesting on Hankerson. Maybe the kid can play

The biggest surprise to me is Reese

[jumbo]

Jenkins starting at LT. Torrey Dale at DT. Leo at will LB.

James and Dear suspended.

Cam Dantzler is apparently not cleared yet. Still waiting on a class to transfer.

Malik Dear pisses me off. I was really forward to seeing how we used him.

[BorneDawg]

Malik Dear pisses me off. I was really forward to seeing how we used him.

I know me too! Anybody hear what he did? That's just immaturity

[ShotgunDawg]

I know me too! Anybody hear what he did? That's just immaturity

Dear is explosive and a playmaker but we haven't yet seen him consistently used. Last year he showed flashes but then had the ankle injury down the stretch. This year he's out the first game.

Your greatest ability is your availability and that seems to be his biggest issue to date.

[Treemydawg]

I'm like a kid in Christmas morning right now. It's finally here. Bust somebody's ass dawgs.

[preachermatt83]

Who is starting at Viper?

[Vandelay Industries]

In!!! Let's do this!!!!

[FleaFlicker]

NM

[Dawgowar]

O en just ding'ed for the preheat - too early to get bring A-Game in the kitchen. Food slut game rules in effect. Frozen pizza, fast nachos, wings and burritos - all store bought. Dr. Pepper and let's go.

[msbulldog]

Anybody know what Dear did?

[ShotgunDawg]

The new SEC Network sideline girl is hot as 17

[Statecoachingblows**]

Olivia Harlan A-ok in my book

[ShotgunDawg]

Well, that's not a great start. Fitz looked jumpy & stared down his reciever

[GreenheadDawg]

Well that has horrible

[Vandelay Industries]

Nice punt

[preachermatt83]

Online getting blown backwards by a second team south al d-line. Not a good sign.

[Dawgface]

Impressive first 3 and out.

[ShotgunDawg]

[GreenheadDawg]

South Alabama got a lot of push against the O-line

[preachermatt83]

Peters starting.

[preachermatt83]

At corner

[Bothrops]

Didn't like our first series calls

[preachermatt83]

Defense looks fast

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense looks fast

Agree. We do look fast. Running around

[Bothrops]

Ugh..

[BeardoMSU]

At least our special teams are getting a workout, lol.

[preachermatt83]

Justin Johnson = new stone hands

[Saltydog]

We look awful and they are going to load the box and make us beat them thru the air.

[Dawgface]

Frigging pathetic. Can't get a 1st down against these cats. Then a partially blocked punt.

[msstate7]

Let's see Williams

[Statecoachingblows**]

At least our special teams are getting a workout, lol.

Game experience means a lot** lol

[drunkernhelldawg]

So Mullen caves and goes Fitz over Willams. . Here's the sad result. Fitz is just not ready. Mullen knew that and yet went with what the fans want. I've seen this stuff get ugly fast.

[BeardoMSU]

Justin Johnson = new stone hands

Kodi Augustus on grass***

[bluelightstar]

We've called 2 run plays in two drives. WTF?

[Maroonthirteen]

We look very slow and deliberate on offense. Also, could Cooke have waited any longer to punt that ball. Gezz..

[Dawgface]

Let's see Williams

Might as well.

[maroonmania]

Our offense looking like crap so far. Either Fitz is throwing to the wrong guys are we don't have any receivers that can get open.

[ShotgunDawg]

Gonna blame the coaches a little bit here.

You have a new QB & you come out throwing the ball down the field & making him read coverage.

Why not run some bubble screens & short, easy passes to allow him to gain some confidence & feel the flow of the game?

Coaches kind of threw Fitz in the deep end here

[Bothrops]

Wobbly ass pass, needed a fishing net

[Irondawg]

Fitz is locking in and then not realizing guys are covered. Looks pretty bad so far although the Johnson drop did hurt.

I'd much rather see a FB and go with the read option with Aeris and Fitz

[Dawgowar]

Is it a new conference run that every school has to have a cheerleader that makes me look skinny?

[Maroonthirteen]

So Mullen caves and goes Fitz over Willams. . Here's the sad result. Fitz is just not ready. Mullen knew that and yet went with what the fans want. I've seen this stuff get ugly fast.

Fitz problem so far is that USA is playing the pass and we have done nothing to make them respect the run.

Mullen needs to run the ball. RTGDF

[TXDawg]

That first throw to Johnson was bad. Yeah, he probably should've caught it, but it was an overthrown lame duck.

[DawgInMemphis]

Nerves. He'll be alright.

[ShotgunDawg]

Growing pains fellas, it's going to take some time but the end result will be good

[preachermatt83]

AJ!!

[TrapGame]

And Williams comes in.

[Statecoachingblows**]

No sound at the bar was the swap planned?

[ShotgunDawg]

Why didn't the coaches run that play with Fitz?

[Dawgface]

Yea...get to see what Williams got.

[Dawgowar]

All right Damien!

[DawgInMemphis]

Lots of young cats playing.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah, Williams will have to be the guy early this season till Fitz can catch up.

Williams just sees the field better.

[bluelightstar]

Damian looks better than Fitz, but I also think he's benefited from better play calls (e.g., easier throws).

[TrapGame]

Ok, keep Williams in.

[Dawgowar]

5/5 - good drive Mr. Williams. Don't let the stage be bigger than you.

[Dawgface]

Williams looks like the better QB in this short period of time to evaluate the two.

[Duckdog]

Damien > fitz

[BeardoMSU]

Damian looks better than Fitz, but I also think he's benefited from better play calls (e.g., easier throws).

This^^^

Williams looked a lot sharper in his decision making, though.

[preachermatt83]

I like seeing the young receivers playing well.

[Bothrops]

I likes Williams. Thomas and Mixon look great out there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damian looks better than Fitz, but I also think he's benefited from better play calls (e.g., easier throws).

Williams has more instincts & vision in the passing game. It's something that very difficult to account for when just comparing tool sets.

I think Damian looks like the starter & you use Fitz intermittently so that he continues to grow.

We are a 6 or 7 win team with Williams.

[mcain31]

Damien looked great!

[Vandelay Industries]

I like seeing the young receivers playing well.

Absolutely. Lots of first career catches on that drive

[preachermatt83]

Damian looks better than Fitz, but I also think he's benefited from better play calls (e.g., easier throws).

+1

Just curious, who do you see us beating with Fitz (assuming he progresses) that we wouldn't beat with Williams?

[AFDawg]

Dam.[n] Williams!

[Dawgface]

Yeah, Williams will have to be the guy early this season till Fitz can catch up.

Williams just sees the field better.

And that's fine. Hopefully all Fitz needs is time to mature. If Williams continues to play well, Fitz may have a hard time getting lots of reps though.

[bluelightstar]

+1

I think the first play exemplifies that. Fitz had several downfield throws, while Williams got a well-blocked swing pass. You always want to ease your QB into the game, which we did for Williams but not for Fitz.

[preachermatt83]

D Thomas seems to have really strong hands. Smokey been out of position twice.

[msbulldog]

Hmm, maybe we were all wrong about D Williams!

[ShotgunDawg]

Just curious, who do you see us beating with Fitz (assuming he progresses) that we wouldn't beat with Williams?

Fitz provides tons more explosiveness in the running game which offers us the chance of winning as an underdog. Williams is basically a bigger Tyson Lee.

I think of Texas A&M, Auburn, Arkansas, & Ole Miss, I was hoping to win 3 or those 4. With Williams I think 1 or 2 of the 4 is more likely.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ugh, terrible coverage by Rayford

[BulldogBear]

Watching on iPad, grilling between hunts. I'm not impressed so far.

[preachermatt83]

Leo Lewis is reacting faster than anyone on the Feild.

[bluelightstar]

Our secondary does not cover downfield so well

[preachermatt83]

Leo gotta play a lot. He is real deal.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Damian looks better than Fitz, but I also think he's benefited from better play calls (e.g., easier throws).

I think Williams deserves more credit than that. He was going throuugh his progressions with confidence. Fitz was throwing into tight coverage.

[preachermatt83]

Rayford doesn't need to be playing

[Irondawg]

Rayford getting picked on

[ShotgunDawg]

Rayford looks terrible

[GreenheadDawg]

Rayford is getting destroyed

[bluelightstar]

This Rayford fella is...not good.

[cheewgumm]

Is Peters playing?

[maroonmania]

Afraid our secondary is going to kill us this year.

[preachermatt83]

Mullen get your big head out of the defense and leave Sirmon alone and let him do his thing.

[starkvegasdawg]

Run D very good. Pass D very bad.

[defiantdog]

Rayford and Graham are both soft..... As expected. They both need to get confidence in the position.

[shoeless joe]

Mullen get your big head out of the defense and leave Sirmon alone and let him do his thing.
If we weren't playing it safe with secondary we'd prolly be losing rite now.

[preachermatt83]

Dan Mullen is wearing shorts!! Lol!!

[Dawgface]

Can you imagine when we play a team that can really pass? We will be murdered.

[ShotgunDawg]

Afraid our secondary is going to kill us this year.

Early on, yes. But we've got talent there. Just needs to play and get better.

There will be growing pains early

[maroonmania]

This Rayford fella is...not good.

Yea, starting to see why we were his only offer.

[HSVDawg]

Fitz provides tons more explosiveness in the running game which offers us the chance of winning as an underdog. Williams is basically a bigger Tyson Lee.

I think of Texas A&M, Auburn, Arkansas, & Ole Miss, I was hoping to win 3 or those 4. With Williams I think 1 or 2 of the 4 is more likely.

I think a bigger Tyson Lee is a bit of a stretch. Williams is, at worst, equal to Relf (who we won 8 games with in a schedule similar to the one we have this year). He isn't quite as physical running but is a much better passer and has the same speed. I think we can beat Arkansas and Auburn with either one. A&M I think is a bad matchup for us because of our corners vs. their receivers, and honestly I don't think either will be a gamechanger in that one if our D doesn't come to play.
And Ole Miss in Oxford is a very likely loss with either one unless they collapse from the NCAA pressure before then.

[bluelightstar]

We're gonna make Perry Orth look like a Heisman contender

[ShotgunDawg]

Can you imagine when we play a team that can really pass? We will be murdered.

Good thing we don't do that till later in the season. Time to grow. We are playing talented young guys

[Duckdog]

Leo is a badass

[99jc]

Get a dink and chill.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense looks extremely fast in the front 7

[mcain31]

Leo is a monster out there!

[Dawg97]

Leo Lewis is a beast!!!

[preachermatt83]

Leo a bad man.

[bluelightstar]

#DOINK

[preachermatt83]

Good coverage smokey

[ShotgunDawg]

Leo has some Jaylon Smith in him.

Damn good player

[ShotgunDawg]

17 Williams looks good

This QB battle is over

[ShotgunDawg]

We are fast

[Dawgbite]

Fred Ross is the man.

[Dawg97]

Damian looks really good

[ShotgunDawg]

This is the fastest MSU team I've ever seen.

We have flaws, but we can run

Our overall team speed has been upgraded mightily

[Statecoachingblows**]

Damian looking good, considering play calls or not.
And another td drive

[cheewgumm]

I'm assuming we're not gonna run much

[Dawgbite]

Does Tiano get two series?

[BorneDawg]

I think the first play exemplifies that. Fitz had several downfield throws, while Williams got a well-blocked swing pass. You always want to ease your QB into the game, which we did for Williams but not for Fitz.

+1

[Dawgowar]

Damian looking pretty damn good ya'll

[MSUMatt]

I think the team rapport with Williams is better too. Having said that, does Fitz roll out for the 5th drive?

[bluelightstar]

Team just plays better with Damian

[TXDawg]

I like how the offense looks with Williams. That said, if the D holds them here, I think we need to give Fitz another first half possession.

[ILOATHEBears]

Damian looking good, considering play calls or not.
And another td drive

The team plays with more confidence and swagger with him in. Even the oline blocks better. He has the locker room and that matters

[Commercecomet24]

This is the fastest MSU team I've ever seen.

We have flaws, but we can run

Our overall team speed has been upgraded mightily

I'm glad someone else noticed it! We can really run. Never seen this kinda speed on an MSU team. Impressive!

[Dawgology]

Yeah. The whole team looks sharper with Williams out there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks like ole Danno has done it again with D Will.

Not saying he's a superstar, but considering how awful Josh Dobbs looked the other night, it's clear that our QB development is extremely good.

D Will is a better decision maker & more accurate passer than Dobbs

[Dawgowar]

Would like to see our DB's step up here

[maroonmania]

Let's not get carried away. Remember, this is South Alabama.

[Dawgowar]

I absolutely love the play of the front 7

[Dawgowar]

Let's not get carried away. Remember, this is South Alabama.

So I should NOT order the rice krispie treat Heisman with D. Williams name on it just yet?

[drunkernhelldawg]

I disagree with teh idea that is has to do with play calling. Give Williams credit. When the play was called, he made it work. That's him doing is job.

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's not get carried away. Remember, this is South Alabama.

Agree, but timing, poise, & accuracy are timing, poise, & accuracy. 17 Dobbs was playing App State. Let's not act like that was a power house.

Williams looks good. He is making quick decisions & throwing with accuracy. 95% of college coaches would give their left nutt for that

[Prentis]

I think Donald Gray is banged up. He came up limping after the opening kickoff.

[Dawgface]

I would keep Williams in to push out a good lead. Put Fitz and Tiano in for some reps later.

[ShotgunDawg]

Shump looks marginally better.

[Dawgowar]

Thing is, Dan always adapts his offense to the current team's strengths. We are not used to his play calling for this group yet.

[ShotgunDawg]

Man.... Holloway just looks like he gets wiped out every time he is hit

[Dawgowar]

That was a bad toss. Not sure if it was on Damian or the wideouts.

[Dawgowar]

Okay, let's see how our kicking game looks.

[Dawgowar]

Good kick. Honestly...how many of you still hold your breath on these kicks?

[ShotgunDawg]

My thoughts so far are that we are fast, have some flaws, but are, YET AGAIN, a damn solid football team that can execute.

There is no shit show in this program. We are consistent

[shoeless joe]

Put aeris in the game and feed him the rock! Will help these QBs

[HSVDawg]

Did we just get an extra down at the end of that last series?

[Prentis]

Holloway is dynamic just to small. He got creamed two or three times that series.

[Op4isabitch]

Did we just get an extra down at the end of that last series?

That's what I thought.

[Dawgowar]

My thoughts so far are that we are fast, have some flaws, but are, YET AGAIN, a damn solid football team that can execute.

There is no shit show in this program. We are consistent

Not frothing at the mouth over this, but the DB's need work.

[ShotgunDawg]

Man, we change defensive coordinators every year with new players & yet the whole in our defense is always down the middle

[GreenheadDawg]

My lord. Our secondary is really really bad

[ShotgunDawg]

Not frothing at the mouth over this, but the DB's need work.

We have flaws, but we are solid

[maroonmania]

So who all do we have suspended for this game?

[bluelightstar]

The secondary is going to really hurt us.

[maroonmania]

Everett is the best player they have. Might be a good idea to actually cover him.

[Dawg97]

defense needs to tighten up

[Dawgowar]

Okay, sarcasm here, Good to see the new defensive staff is keeping the tradition of not covering TE's alive.

[GreenheadDawg]

Really hope to see more of A.williams in the 2nd half

[cheewgumm]

Leo Lewis is damn good

[lastmajordog]

Okay, sarcasm here, Good to see the new defensive staff is keeping the tradition of not covering TE's alive.

Evan Ingram (UNM) approves this message.......

[War Machine Dawg]

Evan Ingram (UNM) approves this message.......

So does Hunter Henry.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Looking at positives...
1. we don't have the worst kicker in the country anymore
2. We didn't give up a garbage td in the final 2 minutes of the half
3. as someone else mentioned Mullen showing off the bird legs, and the cabanas look really awesome

And the sideline reporter does not get enough air time, women's right and what not

[Leroy Jenkins]

At the half, our #1 WR is the leading rusher and our starting HB is the leading receiver.

[maroonmania]

So does Hunter Henry.

and Jeremy Sprinkle and the NC State TE (whoever he was).

[Dawgowar]

Looking at positives...


And the sideline reporter does not get enough air time, women's right and what not

She looks hot and uncomfortable. In the name of southern hospitality someone should either offer to spray her shirt down with cold, "nipply" water or offer her a brazillian bikini to wear. I mean, where are our manners?

[DudyDawg]

Where's dear?


Leo Lewis has been all over the field. I like our front 7 a ton

[Bothrops]

Cooke has heavy leg

[maroonmania]

Throwing teams are going to eat us alive this year.

[Engine]

What the hell Coman?

[bluelightstar]

this secondary...man

[DudyDawg]

I watch my fair share of football but I'm no coach. I'm curious, do coaches teach safeties to dive at ankles instead of going for the ball or body? Trying to figure out why Coman is trying to light people up at the shoestring

[maroonmania]

Where's dear?


Leo Lewis has been all over the field. I like our front 7 a ton

I assume he is suspended in this game. I asked earlier if anyone knew who all was suspended but nobody responded.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm confused at how safety is supposed to be one of the strengths of our team, yet this happens.

Has anyone heard Brandon Bryant's name all day?

[GreenheadDawg]

I watch my fair share of football but I'm no coach. I'm curious, do coaches teach safeties to dive at ankles instead of going for the ball or body? Trying to figure out why Coman is trying to light people up at the shoestring

My answer is because he's terrible. They have -175 yards rushing but they are still able to throw it all over the field. All we can hope for is a light comes on. If not, it's going to be a long season

[mcain31]

Where's dear?


Leo Lewis has been all over the field. I like our front 7 a ton
Suspended for the game

[Dawgowar]

Come on Defense.

[DudyDawg]

Who makes the defensive calls now that Benny Brown is gone? Richie?

[DudyDawg]

Suspended for the game

Thanks. Know why?

[BayouDawg]

We haven't been able to cover the seam route in 3 years

[mcain31]

I'm confused at how safety is supposed to be one of the strengths of our team, yet this happens.

Has anyone heard Brandon Bryant's name all day?

He made a couple tackles on screens with Leo

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm not a defensive Xs & Os guy, but passes completed down the middle of the field are more indicative of a safety problem than CB problem, right?

[defiantdog]

Coman has forgotten how to tackle

[War Machine Dawg]

Damn. That was too easy. We're gonna get absolutely torched by anyone with competent QB & WR play.

[ShotgunDawg]

Brandon Bryant & Coman suck .

We were fed a load of bullshit on that one.

Add JT Gray to that as well. Ball flew right over his damn helmet & he never turns around.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Our ball skills, coverage skills, & instincts are brutal back there

[GreenheadDawg]

Hahahaha. Wow, LO ****ing L

[Vandelay Industries]

Defense is shaky at best

[Dawgowar]

Three DB's and he catches it? Crud. Hope some aspect of this is fixable.

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm not a defensive Xs & Os guy, but passes completed down the middle of the field are more indicative of a safety problem than CB problem, right?

The correct answer is "maybe." Whole lot of factors in that.

[GreenheadDawg]

Bad news ****ing bears back there.

[DudyDawg]

We won't beat tamu unless we score 50. Smokey Graham got burned badly on about 5 passes in a row. Thankfully they never went after him. He was spinning those hips like a ****ing top

[maroonmania]

Damn. That was too easy. We're gonna get absolutely torched by anyone with competent QB & WR play.

Yep, just about every pass they throw is a completion even if we do have someone actually covering.

[defiantdog]

Brandon Bryant & Coman suck .

We were fed a load of bullshit on that one.
Peters is also having issues

[shoeless joe]

When did we hire Ron cooper?

[BayouDawg]

I'm not a defensive Xs & Os guy, but passes completed down the middle of the field are more indicative of a safety problem than CB problem, right?

It's a symptom of the bend don't break scheme. Sit back in soft zone and receivers will find those pockets all day long. Hopefully we're just running a vanilla scheme today

[defiantdog]

Durr has looked solid at least

[War Machine Dawg]

Brandon Bryant & Coman suck .

We were fed a load of bullshit on that one.

Bryant isn't a problem. Everyone's favorite "potential" player, Peters, is the one who got his ass beat on the TD.

[DudyDawg]

Brandon Bryant & Coman suck .

We were fed a load of bullshit on that one.
Add JT Gray to that as well. Ball flew right over his damn helmet & he never turns around.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Our ball skills, coverage skills, & instincts are brutal back there

Disagree on bryant. I think he's our best DB. Maybe not today, but he can make plays

[starkvegasdawg]

Any OC that calls a running play against us this season should be fired on the spot. We can't cover a pass.

[Bothrops]

We can't play pass defense at MSU anymore.

[Dawgowar]

Well, in fairness, last year we did that BS 'Hawk Tackling' and that was worse. DB's are just not getting it done.

[War Machine Dawg]

It's a symptom of the bend don't break scheme. Sit back in soft zone and receivers will find those pockets all day long. Hopefully we're just running a vanilla scheme today

This is what I'm hoping, too. Don't want to overreact too much against a depleted Sun Belt team.

[bluelightstar]

It's a symptom of the bend don't break scheme. Sit back in soft zone and receivers will find those pockets all day long. Hopefully we're just running a vanilla scheme today

We say this every year when some aspect of our team doesn't look good. Is it ever true?

[shoeless joe]

Bryant isn't a problem. Everyone's favorite "potential" player, Peters, is the one who got his ass beat on the TD.

JT gray is #12. Peters is #2

[Dawgface]

Piss poor effort on the series by the defense.

[Dawgowar]

Come on Offense. Need to answer that.

[War Machine Dawg]

JT gray is #12. Peters is #2

Dammit, you're right. All these damn number changes have me screwed up.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Peters is also having issues

JT Gray is 12

[ShotgunDawg]

Williams has gotten faster

[Bothrops]

Piss poor effort on the series by the defense.

And this^

[GreenheadDawg]

JT Gray is 12

All he had to do is ****ing turn around.

[ShotgunDawg]

Outstanding job by Williams right there. Amazing how much he's improved in two years

[Saltydog]

get our ass in gear.

[DudyDawg]

Holloway runs like shump should. Even with his lack of size, cat makes things happen. No fear from him.

[Dawgowar]

Heady play Damian

[ShotgunDawg]

Heady play Damian

He's a quick decision maker.

[DudyDawg]

Outstanding job by Williams right there. Amazing how much he's improved in two years

And it wasn't like he was bad then. 2-0 as a backup for dak, iirc

[ShotgunDawg]

And it wasn't like he was bad then. 2-0 as a backup for dak, iirc

Huh?

Don't bring that. He made one play against Arkansas & needed to be relieved by Dak in the Egg Bowl

[War Machine Dawg]

D-Will may be slow, but damn if he doesn't make plays with his legs. He's got more moves than I remember him having before, too.

[defiantdog]

We can't throw the ball further then 10 yards down the field

[Leroy Jenkins]

Bryant isn't a problem. Everyone's favorite "potential" player, Peters, is the one who got his ass beat on the TD.
JT Gray is 12

[Dawgowar]

That was a stupid throw.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ugh....

[maroonmania]

Well color me VERY unimpressed so far. If USA could make a chip shot FG the score would currently be 17-13.

[Dawgowar]

Nice Field Goal. Gonna need that range later this year.

[ShotgunDawg]

At least this is the best kicking game we've had in years

[DudyDawg]

Huh?

Don't bring that. He made one play against Arkansas & needed to be relieved by Dak in the Egg Bowl

I didn't say he was Peyton Manning. But he did beat arky on the road, which we dont do a lot, and did what we needed to beat ole miss. Idk what you could ask for but that.

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm still pissed we didn't let Graves try the kick against LSU last year. Although to be fair, his leg does look like it's gotten stronger since last season.

[bluelightstar]

I'm very underwhelmed.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Love to see that kicking game going. What a huge factor.

[ShotgunDawg]

I didn't say he was Peyton Manning. But he did beat arky on the road, which we dont do a lot, and did what we needed to beat ole miss. Idk what you could ask for but that.

No, he didn't beat Arkansas on the road. He was a pinch hitter that got a single to win the game. Tyler Russell & J Rob were the starting pitchers in that game that went 8 strong to give us a chance.

[DudyDawg]

I'm still pissed we didn't let Graves try the kick against LSU last year. Although to be fair, his leg does look like it's gotten stronger since last season.

He spent offseason in Moscow with their Olympians

[GreenheadDawg]

Well I guess coach was right again. We will be lucky to win 6.

[Saltydog]

12/15 but very little activity down the field.

[Apoplectic]

Love to see that kicking game going. What a huge factor.

Usually means Jackie mullen will settle for playing for 3

[DudyDawg]

No, he didn't beat Arkansas on the road. He was a pinch hitter that got a single to win the game. Tyler Russell & J Rob were the starting pitchers in that game that went 8 strong to give us a chance.

More than anything fitz has done..

And I thought he started. I guess I miss remembered

Love to see that kicking game going. What a huge factor.

He drilled that too, also Olivia Harlan would get it

[ShotgunDawg]

Well I guess coach was right again. We will be lucky to win 6.

Meh, I think this team has some good pieces & parts. I think we win at least 7.

We've got some flaws, but I think we'll get better.

[ILOATHEBears]

Well color me VERY unimpressed so far. If USA could make a chip shot FG the score would currently be 17-13.

USA Second team dline had gotten tons of pressure on our oline this past possession

Not debating that

Except we give up passing yards in huge chunks. That does not bode well.

[Bothrops]

We sure are easy to plan offense against.

Dude have you watched us over the past 7 years?

We literally have given up passing yard chunks like this in the non-conference EVERY.SINGLE. YEAR

Do you remember UAB in 14?

Bowling Green?

We'll get better

[defiantdog]

Jefferson is such a mismatch for interior lineman

[Vandelay Industries]

AJ is a monster today

I pray that you are right. But when USA is able to burn your secondary, it's cause for concern

Agreed..... We're playing our db's 10 yards off the line. I like Durr though..... He's aggressive.

[shoeless joe]

AJ has been a monster his whole career

FIFY

[preachermatt83]

Our front 7 is serious.

[Dawgowar]

Woooohooo. Shump made yards after first contact that time!
