Official UMass game thread... Brought to you by NOHOLLOWAYUPTHEMIDDLE.com

[Really Clark?]

Over 300 yards for the half, about 150 each passing and rushing. With bad execution

[I seen it dawg]

Great half dan

[Bothrops]

That was no touchdown. But whatever, Dan sucks

[RougeDawg]

Florida 21-0 at tenn.

Umass trailed Florida 10-7 in 4th quarter so maybe they're decent, but no depth

You have a point that they may be decent but this game is about our play more than theirs. We look like a spring scrimmage again, similar to the USA game.

[msstate7]

That was no touchdown. But whatever, Dan sucks

You've officially come out pulling against us I see.

[preachermatt83]

Donald gray and Fred Ross are our only receivers.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We're still in this game. It's crap that it has to be this hard.

[Liverpooldawg]

17 you. Someone needs to give this guy a break from posting for a couple days.

Whatever. I don't think that broke any rules there, written or unwritten. If Fitz plays like that the rest of the game I'll gladly eat crow. We need somebody to step up. He did there.

[msstate7]

Over 300 yards for the half, about 150 each passing and rushing. With bad execution

Got to finish better...

[TimberBeast]

You have a point that they may be decent but this game is about our play more than theirs. We look like a spring scrimmage again, similar to the USA game.

Yep I'm officially done, heading to the golf course.

[Dawgology]

Those were some well thrown balls by Fitz and the WR's decided to start catching. This is a weird ass team.

[BrunswickDawg]

You have a point that they may be decent but this game is about our play more than theirs. We look like a spring scrimmage again, similar to the USA game.
And for all the grief some are giving Fitz, he is 17-26 for 155 and leads us in rushing with 53. That is with half a dozen dropped balls. Fitz is not the reason we are losing this game.

[MarketingBully]

Got to finish better...

I think that was our bad half and we come out and win 41-14 with Fitz continuing to get better and we all look at this first half commentary and laugh.

[dawgday166]

Yep I'm officially done, heading to the golf course.

You gonna do your training for a marathon tomorrow then *****

[DownwardDawg]

And for all the grief some are giving Fitz, he is 17-26 for 155 and leads us in rushing with 53. That is with half a dozen dropped balls. Fitz is not the reason we are losing this game.

Great points but Fitz was horrible in the first quarter. He was missing his throws badly. When he started making throws, they weren't catching them.

[Liverpooldawg]

Yep I'm officially done, heading to the golf course.

nice

[DownwardDawg]

I think that was our bad half and we come out and win 41-14 with Fitz continuing to get better and we all look at this first half commentary and laugh.

I sure hope so.

[MarketingBully]

Those were some well thrown balls by Fitz and the WR's decided to start catching. This is a weird ass team.

If the receivers had caught them all day, this game is more like 24-14 or something like that. We aren't that far off but it looks discombobulated because Ole Miss did well earlier and our fans are judging us by Ole Miss' dominent win.

[Sacrifice]

As bad as Fitzs has looked, he's 18-27 for 162 yards 1 TD no picks. Plus 53 yards rushing. We don't have a solid running game to support any of our young QBs

[Really Clark?]

And for all the grief some are giving Fitz, he is 17-26 for 155 and leads us in rushing with 53. That is with half a dozen dropped balls. Fitz is not the reason we are losing this game.

96 yards rushing by Fitz

[Activated Alpha]

Can we hire Petrino during the half?

[msstate7]

I think that was our bad half and we come out and win 41-14 with Fitz continuing to get better and we all look at this first half commentary and laugh.

I think it's more like 34-17

[Irondawg]

Fitz doesn't throw a catchable ball though. It wobbles a lot and the placement is poor. I was willing to give him a pass for a bit and while he's a great runner, he's sub-par at every other facet of a QB.

That said I don't think Damien is the answer either so it's a bit depressing.

Tiano is an unknown.

But the biggest problems today are defensive lapses (2) that turned into tds and the fact that our OL can't open up anything for our RB's

[MarketingBully]

Great points but Fitz was horrible in the first quarter. He was missing his throws badly. When he started making throws, they weren't catching them.

Oh I agree. He has to become more consistent but to his credit this is only his second road start.

[RocketDawg]

LOTS of boo birds in Knoxville at the end of the half. Think we'll see that next home game?

[dawgday166]

Can we hire Petrino during the half?

Boy I wish. Or maybe in reality we're trading Strickland for FLs coaching staff. Oh ... I forgot. Collins sucks as a DC.

[RougeDawg]

Chad Kelly throws as many wobbly uncatchable balls as he does catchable, yet his receivers go get the ball and rarely drop one that hits their hands.

[msstate7]

LOTS of boo birds in Knoxville at the end of the half. Think we'll see that next home game?

If we're down 21-3 at half, perhaps

[DanDority]

LOTS of boo birds in Knoxville at the end of the half. Think we'll see that next home game?

Maybe but more than likely, most fans that show up and stay will be sheep.

[GTHOM]

If the receivers had caught them all day, this game is more like 24-14 or something like that. We aren't that far off but it looks discombobulated because Ole Miss did well earlier and our fans are judging us by Ole Miss' dominent win.

Dude for the love of God nobody is judging this shit performance because of ole miss. WE ARE LOSING TO UMASS at the half.

[LC Dawg]

LOTS of boo birds in Knoxville at the end of the half. Think we'll see that next home game?
I hope not. There's no way you can boo a coach and the players not take it personally and I don't like booing our players.

[Coursesuper]

This whole season has been mailed in what we are seeing today is an absolute disgrace. If the fvcker wasn't constantly looking for a job he would have gotten a raise and extension. I'm sorry if your ego couldn't take that presumed insult, but you can kiss my ass buddy, if you want to leave so badly just go and take all your buddies with you and don't go away mad just go away. You had the tiger by the tail and the entire fan base walking in lock step behind you but you let you and your asshole oline coach buddies egoism get right in the way. Thanks Dan.

[Irondawg]

Fitz can still get there - but we've got to make some plays this second half and not shoot ourselves in the foot. I'm still mad about jumping offside on the 4th and 12 stop.

[msstate7]

Maybe but more than likely, most fans that show up and stay will be sheep.

The ones that don't show up and leave early are the real fans I suppose

[blacklistedbully]

17ing moron

Yep. Understatement.

[MarketingBully]

Chad Kelly throws as many wobbly uncatchable balls as he does catchable, yet his receivers go get the ball and rarely drop one that hits their hands.

THIS! And we have at least three incredible receivers in Gray, Ross, and Dear. Dear didn't get the memo from those other guys because he hasn't dropped a ball yet.

[Irondawg]

I also have no idea how to fix the Oline issues - maybe we really need to go back to a FB b/c every time we run between the tackles somebody is coming in free. A FB would take care of that at least.

[RougeDawg]

Boy I wish. Or maybe in reality we're trading Strickland for FLs coaching staff. Oh ... I forgot. Collins sucks as a DC.

Ha. Florida has arguably best defense in nation. Bu bu but our defensive woes were all Collins.** lateral move. I think we all know the reason our defenses seem to have the same issues no matter who is the coordinator. Dan F*cking Mullen!!!!

[Liverpooldawg]

Good post. I agree.

[MarketingBully]

Dude for the love of God nobody is judging this shit performance because of ole miss. WE ARE LOSING TO UMASS at the half.

Bullshit. Look at the dumbass Ole Miss-UGA thread. If Ole Miss doesn't dominate that game, this is a different game thread.

[Liverpooldawg]

I also have no idea how to fix the Oline issues - maybe we really need to go back to a FB b/c every time we run between the tackles somebody is coming in free. A FB would take care of that at least.

I think that would be at least worth a try. Who? Shump?

[preachermatt83]

17-26 for 156 yards when you have 5 dropped passes is OUTSTANDING! Why would anyone want to take Fitz out.

[chef dixon]

Why can't we see gibson or murphy? It doesn't make any sense. All 3 guys that get carries have all proven they can't get the job done.

[blacklistedbully]

Let's just call it 1-1. They got a break on their TD. We got one on ours. Even Steven. Personally because of the shitty TV work no way was that definitive evidence.

No...If they get the UMass TD call right, it's our ball on downs. They stopping us inches from the goal line probably ends up a TD anyway.

Wait...what am I saying? Dan would have run Holloway up the middle for a 2-yd loss in 1st down.... then spike the ball on 2nd...then try Holloway up the middle again for no gain...then time out...then a FG.

[Coursesuper]

Bullshit. Look at the dumbass Ole Miss-UGA thread. If Ole Miss doesn't dominate that game, this is a different game thread.

You are an imbecile, just stop, we got beat by USA and are now losing to UMass at the half. It's not that hard to figure out slick.

[GTHOM]

BYU will skull drag our asses

[Bdawg]

Watch Richie... he's really regressed

He got married and lost his nuts!

[Really Clark?]

Why can't we see gibson or murphy? It doesn't make any sense. All 3 guys that get carries have all proven they can't get the job done.

Wouldn't have mattered that first half. Very little of that was on RB's. Heck Holloway had 5 rushes for 44 yards. But the OL had problems

[dawgday166]

Ha. Florida has arguably best defense in nation. Bu bu but our defensive woes were all Collins.** lateral move. I think we all know the reason our defenses seem to have the same issues no matter who is the coordinator. Dan F*cking Mullen!!!!

Cmon mane! You been smoking something. You know it ain't Dan's fault. It's not Sirmon's yet .... although it probably will be if we lose 21 to 20. Right now it's Richie's, Fred's, Senior's, etc. All these guys could play pretty decent at a couple of years ago ... now they can't.

[Saltydog]

nt

[GTHOM]

Bullshit. Look at the dumbass Ole Miss-UGA thread. If Ole Miss doesn't dominate that game, this is a different game thread.

Dude. Any relevant fanbase in the country would be pissed the hell off after this. Cmon man I hate ole miss too but that was stupid

[Irondawg]

OM looking so good on offense is not helping our ego, but losing to USA and UMass is destroying it. We are struggling mightily to streak plays together and we're getting zero big plays our of anybody except some Fitz runs.

But we aren't challenging the defense deep either and with as much as we run we should be getting some 1-1 matchups on the outside. Honestly that's what makes OM's offense tick. They find the 1-1 and go ask their guy to make a play and thusfar their guy is making a play 2 out of 3 times.

[the59dawg]

Cmon mane! You been smoking something. You know it ain't Dan's fault. It's not Sirmon's yet .... although it probably will be if we lose 21 to 20. Right now it's Richie's, Fred's, Senior's, etc. All these guys could play pretty decent at a couple of years ago ... now they can't.

We'll win by at least 20 in 2nd half.

[Bothrops]

"High powered offense" that's like calling an 84' camero a muscle car.

[RougeDawg]

Looked like Nick James is ready to go 2nd half.

Great kick and coverage!!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

I hate the short kick.

[Apoplectic]

I hope not. There's no way you can boo a coach and the players not take it personally and I don't like booing our players.

I don't like paying $2500 for a year long garbage display and then be harassed because i refuse to.

[WildDawg]

I hear about it all the time, but I don't recall ever seeing it.

[BrunswickDawg]

Somebody posted last week that our FB team seems to be following the same path as the baseball team did after 2013 which lead to a down end to 2014 and a shit show in 2015. Football is mirroring that with a down end to 2015 and a shit show this year. Both teams had zero leadership and no talent amongst the upperclassmen.

[dawgday166]

We'll win by at least 20 in 2nd half.

Probably so. And everyone will be going "Whoo, Whoo! What a comeback! Great 2nd half effort! We're on a way now!"

After USA, 1st half of LSU, how can you not show up to play ball today?

[Really Clark?]

SMOKEY with a TD saving tip

[Bothrops]

Excellent play by Graham

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Is UMASS holding on just about every play or is it my imagination?

[Saltydog]

like a deer in headlights.......

[DanDority]

Excellent play by Graham

If the QB has a bigger arm that's a touchdown

[Really Clark?]

Is UMASS holding on just about every play or is it my imagination?

Bunch of missed holds

[RougeDawg]

Is UMASS holding on just about every play or is it my imagination?

Nothing more than LSU was getting away with last week. We need to learn that technique. And of course we get called for one.

[Bothrops]

Our offensive line is a lot worse than last year.

[Irondawg]

See that's my problem with Fitz - that 1st down throw has to be a 100% throw and that's twice he's thrown it into the ground. Put you in a tough position

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Thats because it is a myth, he gets run down from behind almost every time he gets a break away

[RougeDawg]

Getting the young guys in this half. Wonder if Mullen said F the older guys, we've got to win.

[msstate7]

Fitz can't complete short passes

[Saltydog]

NT

[Really Clark?]

Good coverage on that punt

[Bothrops]

Getting the young guys in this half. Wonder if Mullen said F the older guys, we've got to win.

No.

[preachermatt83]

Another drop. Smh.

[RougeDawg]

Thats because it is a myth, he gets run down from behind almost every time he gets a break away

He had the edge and angle on that LB a few plays back and couldn't get the corner. Ha ha. Every one of Mullen's excuses for playing him doesn't have a bit of credibility. Speed, blocking, etc.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We have to improve the OL

[Irondawg]

couple of really poor throws on that series....we've got to string some stuff together and go deep on occassion.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

See that's my problem with Fitz - that 1st down throw has to be a 100% throw and that's twice he's thrown it into the ground. Put you in a tough position

Agreed, but Fitz looks like a 4th string walk-on.

[Liverpooldawg]

See that's my problem with Fitz - that 1st down throw has to be a 100% throw and that's twice he's thrown it into the ground. Put you in a tough position

Yep. He is inconsistent on the gimmes. You have to complete nearly all of those.

[RougeDawg]

No.

Man, don't kill my hopes and dreams that quickly.

[Coursesuper]

We have to improve the OL

WOW, you just now figuring that out?

[Irondawg]

Fitz has two more series if I'm Dan then I'm going to the bullpen. But we need better playcalling with Fitz. He need to be the runner more

[ShotgunDawg]

Our offense can't work with Fitz at QB because he can't make the short, quick throws. Therefore, we are either limited to running the ball or throwing down the field. It doesn't work.

He's a relief pitcher, not a starter. No feel

[EngDawg]

I also have no idea how to fix the Oline issues - maybe we really need to go back to a FB b/c every time we run between the tackles somebody is coming in free. A FB would take care of that at least.

Move fits to FB and let Williams take over the QB role

[Apoplectic]

Excellent play by Graham

Graham was beat again. Ball underthrown

[GreenheadDawg]

It's a bad day when UMASS has a better O-line than we do. We can probably get a good deal if we buy paper bags in bulk

[starkvegasdawg]

We trade Myles to UMass at half?

[RougeDawg]

Logan Cooke for Heisman!!!!

[Bothrops]

Our offense can't work with Fitz at QB because he can't make the short, quick throws. Therefore, we are either limited to running the ball or throwing down the field. It doesn't work.

He's a relief pitcher, not a starter. No feel

Yep

[ShotgunDawg]

Durr beat on 3rd & long

[Coursesuper]

That they have a better oline is accurate.

[Op4isabitch]

This team has no cohesiveness and no fire.

The problem is a lot deeper than just a few missed assignments. Non of them are on the same page and I put that on coaching. Although I'm sure our coach will blame the players.

[Liverpooldawg]

Fitz has two more series if I'm Dan then I'm going to the bullpen. But we need better playcalling with Fitz. He need to be the runner more

It needs to be CALLED running plays for him. He doesn't do well on the reads.

[Bothrops]

Has Fitz ever pitched baseball?

[Liverpooldawg]

Our offense can't work with Fitz at QB because he can't make the short, quick throws. Therefore, we are either limited to running the ball or throwing down the field. It doesn't work.

He's a relief pitcher, not a starter. No feel

Yep

[starkvegasdawg]

Did the announcers just say it was a 12 point game?

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Graham was beat again. Ball underthrown

His best play ever was a result of his falling down at the right moment. But he's only been in the system 3 years, give him time to develop.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yep

And to make the problem worse, we have a receiving core that is short & built for short, intermediate passes. We would really need Ole Miss type, long receivers to have success with the offense we are running

[RougeDawg]

Why haven't we seen Mixon more this year? (Rhetorical) he looks damn good.

[BB30]

He's not fast his first few steps are just quick. He is shifty and that is about it

[DudyDawg]

Has Jeffrey Simmons been playing?

[Red Sox Dawg]

Nice pass, nice catch, nice run. TD

[chef dixon]

Fitz has had time to throw all day long. That was his first good decision.

[ShotgunDawg]

Sometimes the offense works.

If we had a bunch of 6'4" WRs that ran 4.5s, we'd be a pretty good offense

[Cowboydawg]

Our offense can't work with Fitz at QB because he can't make the short, quick throws. Therefore, we are either limited to running the ball or throwing down the field. It doesn't work.

He's a relief pitcher, not a starter. No feel

I remember when Dak was a Redshirt Sophomore and didn't have any touch on the short passes. Fitz is gonna get it.

[Apoplectic]

Why doesn't anyone want to hug fitz after the TD?

[starkvegasdawg]

The short kick will burn our ass like day old Taco Bell if we keep doing it.

[Red Sox Dawg]

WOW, you just now figuring that out?

Just making a comment, why are you so angry, Richard?

[starkvegasdawg]

Why doesn't anyone want to hug fitz after the TD?
He hugs alone.

[RougeDawg]

I remember when Dak was a Redshirt Sophomore and didn't have any touch on the short passes. Fitz is gonna get it.

Yep. You are correct. I remember Dak vs Alcorn or JState one game that year. He was slinging fastballs all day and we couldn't catch them. We still won and you know the rest of the story.

[breazy]

Why are we kicking only to the 10-15....kicker leave his nuts in starkville?

[Saltydog]

NT

[ShotgunDawg]

Why can't we get a pass rush?

[DanDority]

All of you 39 lovers please tell me why he deserves so much praise. Damn, he is slow and can't make tackles!

[RC3]

That stadium is notoriously gusty. Could be it

[Sacrifice]

Man our DL is getting whipped!

[RocketDawg]

Gonna be 21-20 in a second ....

[Red Sox Dawg]

Holy crap

[ShotgunDawg]

Just atrocious tackling. Coman again. He's terrible

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Has Simmons played today? Problem with Nick James is if you stand him up he's done. His only weapon is his bull rush. Last play the center just cut him down.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Wtf

[msstate7]

He's on the same level as graham and Bryant.

[Bothrops]

Despite all the holding going on, our defense is getting worse and worse.

[youraveragesavage]

We in a dog fight with umass guys!

[starkvegasdawg]

Why can't we get a pass rush?

Why can't we do anything?

[RougeDawg]

Someone tell our DBs they can touch the ball before the offensive player.

[ShotgunDawg]

This team is straight trash. Just straight trash

[Sacrifice]

Just players making plays against our D once again

[Liverpooldawg]

It really shouldn't matter but there was a takedown hold on that TD. And one on the play before.

[msstate7]

Who missed the sack?

[Bothrops]

I think we could be the worst team in the SEC now.

[Vandelay Industries]

We in a dog fight with umass guys!

So bad, I'm just hoping we can get out of here with a win

[Coursesuper]

Wow, no pass rush that whole series.

[ShotgunDawg]

It really shouldn't matter but there was a takedown hold on that TD. And one on the play before.

And that means that our DBs are allowed to let guys run wide open & get beat for every jump ball?

[youraveragesavage]

He has regressed badly. I recall him being a legit lb last year. Richie and Bryant are the 2 biggest busts on this team this year and that says a lot

[Apoplectic]

So every time an O needs a play they go to Coman.

I hate you Mullen

Why do I even care?

I need a new hobby

Why do I waste my time

[TNDawg35]

Where the hell is the pass rush we had against USCe? I know damn well their Oline was better than this shit and we steadily sit back and let them pick us apart... 17!!!!

[LC Dawg]

In the post game Mullen will blame the defense for the loss because they gave up a td right after we took the lead.

[Dawgology]

Our defense looks absolutely lost.

[GreenheadDawg]

Bryant out of position again. This is gonna be a long, long season.

[dawgday166]

Someone forgot to send them the memo that we were #1 for 5 weeks a couple of years ago.

[stungeon]

This already is a long season.

[Dawgology]

I don't know a helluva lot about defense but they look really really confused

[GreenheadDawg]

Our lines are absolutely getting destroyed. On both sides of the ball

[Red Sox Dawg]

Looks like we do have leadership issues. Nobody will step up and be the guy.
That goes for offense and defense. Somebody's gotta pick them up.

[Bothrops]

Where the hell is the pass rush we had against USCe? I know damn well their Oline was better than this shit and we steadily sit back and let them pick us apart... 17!!!!

That was the biggest wtf of the season.

[Saltydog]

corners in the league.

[Op4isabitch]

There's a real football game starting on ESPN right now.

[djaymsu5]

Has Simmons played at all today? I keep seeing Dale out there playing DE for whatever reason. How the hell can we not get any pass rush on this shit team. This is garbage man

[starkvegasdawg]

Did a mic catch a woman being murdered in the stands?

[Irondawg]

Starting to have the feel of the USA game. Every time we inch ahead they just chunk the ball up and their WR go make plays

[Really Clark?]

There you go Williams!!

[Sacrifice]

YES!

[Delmar]

Has Simmons played at all today? I keep seeing Dale out there playing DE for whatever reason. How the hell can we not get any pass rush on this shit team. This is garbage man

Yes, he was tackled on the last touchdown pass.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Did a mic catch a woman being murdered in the stands?


Lol I heard that too.

[TNDawg35]

That will be the last time Williams gets the ball****

[RocketDawg]

There's a real football game starting on ESPN right now.

Sounds better than it is. Neither team is all that great this year. But it's high stakes for both coaches ... they can each lose millions per year.

[Apoplectic]

Best name in football Chuckie holiness

[RougeDawg]

Hmm. Young RB's getting it done today. Makes you wonder and pisses you off for last 3 weeks.

[ShotgunDawg]

There's a real football game starting on ESPN right now.

No ready to call Auburn a real football team

[Irondawg]

Alright - now come on defense - get a 3 and out and let's make it a two score game

[Apoplectic]

Holloway would have been tackled at the line of scrimmage on that TD

[starkvegasdawg]

That will be the last time Williams gets the ball****

Thinking the same thing.

[Dawgface]

Ok....time to trot the 1st string D out there. Surely they have been sitting on the bench all day.

[RocketDawg]

Florida 21 Tenn 10 now. Tennessee is making a comeback of sorts.

[starkvegasdawg]

Now kick it deep.

[RougeDawg]

Sometimes the offense works.

If we had a bunch of 6'4" WRs that ran 4.5s, we'd be a pretty good offense


Holloway would have been tackled at the line of scrimmage on that TD

He would have run up into that pile of 6 people close to the sidelines and never seen the cut back hole.

[Bothrops]

At least Williams can say his last play for the maroon and white was a touchdown carry.

[Homedawg]

Cooke isn't kicking off. Has an injury that bothers him kicking off

[Goldendawg]

This being ahead either 1 or 6 worries me when they go ahead. I think we should go for 2 the next touchdown. Thoughts?

[Sacrifice]

Bring some heat Sirmon!

[Apoplectic]

Now kick it deep.

He can kick it to the end zone Mullen is calling for the short kick

[Really Clark?]

SMOKEY!!

[DudyDawg]

Graham > Slay&Banks combined

[Cowboydawg]

Smokeeeeeeeeeey!!!!!

[RougeDawg]

Got a pass rush on that pick six.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

On the positive side, looks like they have some pretty good talent in the UMASS fan crowd and cheerleaders.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Smokey with a pick six.
Good for him.

[Dawgface]

Damn...I go take a piss and the D makes a play.

[Apoplectic]

Williams first touchdown of the year. Dear first catch of the year. Mollen you suck!

[Goldendawg]

Smokey on a pick 6. Back up the twitter trash.

[starkvegasdawg]

We covered a TE?

[EngDawg]

Yes sir!

[Sacrifice]

SMOKAAAAAAHHHHHH

[Really Clark?]

Bring some heat Sirmon!

He did. Safety blitz

[Vandelay Industries]

Nice!!!! Smokey

[Apoplectic]

slap hands! Slap hands!

[RocketDawg]

This being ahead either 1 or 6 worries me when they go ahead. I think we should go for 2 the next touchdown. Thoughts?

Probably, but we didn't. I don't think it's going to matter. UMass is wearing down now. I think.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Notice Fitz there to meet him on the sidelines

[ShotgunDawg]

Good for Smokey. He's apparently the best we got & needed some confidence

[Goldendawg]

Wasn't just the safety blitz. Ward was in the QB's Face.

[I seen it dawg]

Damn...I go take a piss and the D makes a play.

Get your ass back in the bathroom

[stungeon]

Finally! This team really needed something good to happen.

[Really Clark?]

Wasn't just the safety blitz. Ward was in the QB's Face.

Yep. On the delay

[Apoplectic]

We covered a TE?

Well not really. Brown was beat but smoke was helping over top.

[RougeDawg]

Sometimes the offense works.

If we had a bunch of 6'4" WRs that ran 4.5s, we'd be a pretty good offense


At least Williams can say his last play for the maroon and white was a touchdown carry.

Golden. Almost spit my drink out because there is a possibility for it to come true.

[starkvegasdawg]

400lbs?

[Really Clark?]

Get your ass back in the bathroom

Hahaha

[Really Clark?]

Nice. Dropped 9 after having a bunch up on the line.

[Bothrops]

Graham has had his best game.

[RougeDawg]

Sometimes the offense works.

Notice Fitz there to meet him on the sidelines

He's made some changes lately and is becoming a better teammate.

[Really Clark?]

Do not be badly hurt Ross!!!

[Sacrifice]

The announcer said great coverage down the field. Hell yeah!

[dawgday166]

Dan's holding him back to not let the SEC teams know about it. Dan'll cut him loose then.

[starkvegasdawg]

Almost a pick six

[Dawgface]

Get your ass back in the bathroom

I'll go take a shit. That will take some time off the clock.

[Bothrops]

Ross seems ok

[Really Clark?]

Nice Holloway. Make something happen

[RougeDawg]

I think they are drunk up there.

[starkvegasdawg]

Think UMass d is starting to wear down.

[Goldendawg]

Holding on Ward. Just wondering, I know we don't have a full 85 on scholarship. How many walk-ons are there on scholarship? Our lack of recruiting or attrition or something is hurting our depth, along with requiring 3 to 4 years in the system to see the field.

[Really Clark?]

Nice read Fitz!!!

[Sacrifice]

Damn Fitz is fast

[Red Sox Dawg]

TD Forrod Green

[Sacrifice]

Fitz on fire right now

[Goldendawg]

I don't understand many things about our program at this point in the year, but I would feel better if we could play two good halves in the same game.

[Liverpooldawg]

Much better all the way around.

That's why we're seeing so many JUCOs.

[starkvegasdawg]

Is Dam Williams about to come in?

[Apoplectic]

Wow we're playing like our opponent is an FBS team

[TNDawg35]

Why not put the big backs in and tear UMass a new one? Look what Williams did last drive. Their defense is gassed... But what the hell do we do? We run Minnie Me up the gut...

[BrunswickDawg]

Fitz on fire right now
That can't be true, half this thread said he sucks and everyone hates him...

[ShotgunDawg]

This team has crappy leadership & young players that have ability but lack consistency.

A single game is a roller coaster

[Really Clark?]

Special teams have played well this year. I know the missed FG but overall and coverage has been pretty good

[Bass Chaser]

That can't be true, half this thread said he sucks and everyone hates him...

Half?**

[msstate7]

Wow we're playing like our opponent is an FBS team

What does this mean?

[Commercecomet24]

That can't be true, half this thread said he sucks and everyone hates him...

People jumping the gun on Nick. Be patient give this kid time to develop he's gonna be really good. He's starting to find it, you can see it.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

That can't be true, half this thread said he sucks and everyone hates him...

He did sux in the 1st half just like the rest of the team. Possibly the worst 1st half....since USA game. If we win this game, give D. Gray the credit for putting some verbal spark in this team in the 2nd half.

[preachermatt83]

Whoever says Fitz has leadership issues is just flat out wrong. It's obvious he's leading out there on the field and on the sideline.

[ShotgunDawg]

Potentially the best decision Mullen has made this season is sticking with Fitz through the bad times in this game.

He basically gave the players that are Damian lovers the middle finger & told them to deal with it & play football.

Fitz has responded

[Red Sox Dawg]

Durr popped him

[Goldendawg]

Who are the captains on our team? Are they permanent for the year or picked for each game? I haven't seen it discussed all year in our lack of leadership posts.

[starkvegasdawg]

Just saw Simmons in. Was asked earlier.

[Sacrifice]

Bring the freakin heat Sirmon!

Yep! We have to be patient with him, he's got the tools!

[TaleofTwoDogs]

James out. Simmons in. Good choice coach!

He has been working on it but there were some issues before the season and why he wasn't named starter.

More to leadership than what happens on camera on Saturday

[RougeDawg]

Why the F*ck doesn't it keep putting shotgun's post in my quoted posts?

[Goldendawg]

Except ofr one sack by Calvin and JJ getting TFL, is their OL this much better than our DL? Our DL was supposed to be a strength this year, we thought.

[youraveragesavage]

Why won't you just tell what it is instead of hinting around it 20 times?

[msstate7]

Graham is coming on some

[Goldendawg]

PBU by Smokey.

You permanently quoted it, go back to the original post and uncheck it

[Red Sox Dawg]

Jamal Peters sighting

[GreenheadDawg]

We make every TE we play look like an all American

[Sacrifice]

Freakin UMass receivers making plays!

[ScoobaDawg]

Why won't you just tell what it is instead of hinting around it 20 times?

Because Rogue wants to feel important and thinks he knows more than he really does. Internet ego.
