OFFICIAL GAME DAY THREAD Sponsored by Buckys Beavers of Tampa

[IMissJack]

Outside of missed fg our special teams have been good.

Yes

[BeardoMSU]

Has #10 played yet?*

[ShotgunDawg]

That incompletion is the most vulnerable this defense has looked thus fa

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Is leo playing?

[preachermatt83]

The aggressiveness is amazing!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Our tackling is absolutely night & day better than last year.

These aren't the same players

[Commercecomet24]

Our defense has forced 3 fumbles already!

[BeardoMSU]

Our tackling is absolutely night & day better than last year.


It really is. They're wrappin' up.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense has forced 3 fumbles already!

Amazing what happens when you arrive with bad intentions

[BrunswickDawg]

Our defense has forced 3 fumbles already!
Didn't we go almost all of 2015 without forcing a fumble??

[IMissJack]

Maybe I missed it, but has Abram played?

[MarketingBully]

I know this is Charleston Southern but Charleston Southern has a much better program then Samford who torched us last year. I like the cohesiveness of this defense.

[preachermatt83]

Petrino gonna be begging for grantham back soon.

[RezDog7]

Haven't seen McLarren or Peters.

[Mutt the Hoople]

Gee, all my Ole Miss Friends? told me that he would be ineligible.

[ShotgunDawg]

Olivia Harlan is a smoking

[MarketingBully]

I like the offense but I hope that Mullen takes from this that Hill is a difference maker. He has a different look and feel then our other backs.

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't like how pressure is coming from up the middle

[preachermatt83]

Maybe I missed it, but has Abram played?

He's out this game. Minor injury.

[BrunswickDawg]

Nice script for Rufus from Cohen pumping the golf seats

[Commercecomet24]

Didn't we go almost all of 2015 without forcing a fumble??

We recovered one fumble that year! One!

[BeardoMSU]

Leo is #10 this year...

[preachermatt83]

SWeet pass.

[BrunswickDawg]

Olivia Harlan is a smoking
Former Ms Kansas

[RocketDawg]

Is leo playing?

Somebody said he's #10 today. Haven't seen a close up enough shot to read his name though.

[shoeless joe]

Former Ms Kansas

Def got some canines on her

[Commercecomet24]

That was a NFL throw on the deep out!

[preachermatt83]

Our left guard is getting blown up. Who is that? Calhoun?

[Dawg61]

Uh oh we bringing out the kicker

[MarketingBully]

Why are we using Fitzgerald as a pocket passer?

[preachermatt83]

Short receivers Dang it. Come on Tucker

[BrunswickDawg]

Way to come back Tucker!

[RocketDawg]

Looked good on that FG!

[Delmar]

Our left guard is getting blown up. Who is that? Calhoun?

Our right tackle is getting beat pretty bad too

[ShotgunDawg]

That looked like a kicka

[Commercecomet24]

Uh guys Day might be a decent kicker

[preachermatt83]

Atta boy!! Money!!

[Dawg61]

Atta Boy Day!!!! That kick looked great

[TrapGame]

We made a field goal!!!!

[StoneDawg]

Is he playing?

[IMissJack]

No doubt Day has a great leg.

[Commercecomet24]

That was dead center from 40 with plenty to spare.

[ShotgunDawg]

Uh guys Day might be a decent kicker

We've certainly upped our raw talent level with him.

Hopefully the first two kicks were just nerves

[preachermatt83]

Why are we using Fitzgerald as a pocket passer?

Ummm, because it a blowout and we don't want him hurt.

[Coach007]

Much better defense. The dbs are not soft and there is always 5 guys tackling

[BeardoMSU]

Looked like the laces were in.....Lois Einhorn not happy.

[West Tn Dawg]

Heck Yea!

[I seen it dawg]

Our offense does not look crisp. We better tighten up

[BeardoMSU]

I never got an answer about #10. Anybody?

[I seen it dawg]

Much better defense. The dbs are not soft and there is always 5 guys tackling

Amazing the difference in coaching

[MarketingBully]

Ummm, because it a blowout and we don't want him hurt.

He isn't a pocket passer in his development yet. Why not roll him one way or the other. He would complete at a higher clip and still wouldn't get hurt. Mullen didn't do this shit with Dak until his senior season.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our offense does not look crisp. We better tighten up

We will. First game. We've got players

[HoopsDawg]

Our left guard is getting blown up. Who is that? Calhoun?

daryl williams. reese got beat a couple of times on that last drive too. frustrating that one position group could prevent a great year.

Leo is playing, he is number 10. Also Peters and Mclaurin are playing. We have played 5 corners.

[HoopsDawg]

Much better defense. The dbs are not soft and there is always 5 guys tackling

never forget what Grantham did to FSU last year.

[preachermatt83]

Leo with the tackle

[smootness]

Yes, Lewis is 10 now. He is playing. Goodness people.

[BeardoMSU]

Just saw the 10. I'm good.


**** y'all bitches.

[West Tn Dawg]

I never got an answer about #10. Anybody?

What was the question?
If it was is he playing? YES!

[Dawg61]

I never got an answer about #10. Anybody?

Idk what your question is but #10 is Leo Lewis

[BeardoMSU]

Goodness people.

Cut me some slack, Smoot, lol.

[HoopsDawg]

Cory Thomas looks like a different player. Simmons looks like a 1st round pick.

[RocketDawg]

I never got an answer about #10. Anybody?

I saw him on the field earlier.

[Commercecomet24]

daryl williams. reese got beat a couple of times on that last drive too. frustrating that one position group could prevent a great year.

Leo is playing, he is number 10. Also Peters and Mclaurin are playing. We have played 5 corners.

Yeah the only part of the team that has been below average today.

[preachermatt83]

Our defensive front causes some problems bc you have to double Simmons but Cory is to good to forget abt

[Dawg61]

Grantham with some sweet shades, I want a pair now

[bostondawg]

Really feels like this season will hinge on the O line play. And they're a liability so far.

[HoopsDawg]

I'm loving our stunts up front. Saw None of that last year. Remind me to bet against UL alot this year.

[smootness]

I've seen Kobe Jones and Erroll Thompson sightings.

[Delmar]

Great pass, bad hands

[BeardoMSU]

Ah....beautiful pass Fitz! You gotta catch that Jordan.

[BrunswickDawg]

Damn Jordan!

[ShotgunDawg]

Come one Thomas

[ShotgunDawg]

Offense is bogging down.

Mullen is so scared to run Fitz (for good reason) that every thing is now more difficult

[BeardoMSU]

Wow!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Great protection great throw, Thomas gotta catch that!

[Commercecomet24]

For all the bitching about special teams, they have been really good tiday!

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Offense is looking pretty stale and out of sync now.

[IMissJack]

Really feels like this season will hinge on the O line play. And they're a liability so far.

we have also got to catch the balls we should and cut out the drops.

[TrapGame]

Damn nice punt!

[Dubuck Finner]

fitz is receiving most snaps shin high or lower, that needs work

[MarketingBully]

For all the bitching about special teams, they have been really good tiday!

Yep. That first miss I will give him. He is a true freshman after all.

[Saltydog]

these punks the way we should be able too with our rb's. Our OL may have improved but it's still not good at all.

[ShotgunDawg]

We look like 17ing Bama on defense. Sheesh

[Delmar]

Is that 1B with a safety?

[BeardoMSU]

Haha!

[Dawg61]

SAFETY DANCE!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs

[PMDawg]

I never got an answer about #10. Anybody?

Dude, it has been answered several times. Hes playing.

[RocketDawg]

Myles is fast ....

[Commercecomet24]

Dang 3 forced fumbles and 2 safeties in the first half!

[Dawg61]

"Fitz the man they call....Fitz" haha

[redstickdawg]

Dude, it has been answered several times. Hes playing.

he was on the field to start the game, might not see a lot of time from here forward though.

[Quaoarsking]

I've never heard of Tre Brown. Is he a walk-on or did I just whiff?

[IMissJack]

Great throw Fitz

[ShotgunDawg]

See, Fitz has 10 yards anytime he wants it & he's going to run vs good teams.

Thus, the running game doesn't really worry me because we aren't running our offense

[Delmar]

Fitz is throwing some darts out there.

[ScoobaDawg]

I'd love to see Fitz get 100 yards running but I'd be pissed if something dumb happened doing it.

[BeardoMSU]

"Fitz the man they call....Fitz" haha

Heard that, lol.

[smootness]

I've never heard of Tre Brown. Is he a walk-on or did I just whiff?

JUCO guy

[redstickdawg]

Fitz has some pop on his throws. Looks great so far. Time for KT in the 2nd half

[IMissJack]

Big Reese having some Fr mistakes.

[RocketDawg]

We're doing good on penalties too ... only 3 so far that I noticed.

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice touch by Fitz.

Don't know if I've seen him do that

[ScoobaDawg]

beautiful fake and pass by Fitz... TD!!!! 35-0

[RocketDawg]

Another TD pass!

[Commercecomet24]

Fitz is putting the ball where only our guys can catch it! That's development!

[Dawg61]

Put in Key!! Great game Fitz now grab some pine meat.**

[RocketDawg]

Put in Key!! Great game Fitz now grab some pine meat.**

Yeah, I think we need to. I'd like to see him anyway.

[ILOATHEBears]

Fitz is throwing some darts out there.

I want to get these snaps up a little higher for fitz

[RocketDawg]

Looks like the band is wearing shorts. Is that a good thing?

[IMissJack]

Brown has made a couple of nice plays.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Tre Brown looks pretty damn good!

[HoopsDawg]

I've never heard of Tre Brown. Is he a walk-on or did I just whiff?

Juco that redshirted last year.

[HoopsDawg]

I want to get these snaps up a little higher for fitz

snaps have been horrible. Jenkins was such a great guard. I can't help but think Hev messed up by not using Calhoun or Williams at C and leaving Jenkins at Guard.

[smootness]

So did we announce any suspensions? Certainly doesn't seem like anybody meaningful is out.

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz's throws are just a little high.

[defiantdog]

Tre Brown looks pretty damn good!
He's fast for his size

[IMissJack]

Short receivers are affecting some of these passes.

[GreenheadDawg]

Little shaky for Fitz sometimes today. He's gonna get better with snaps

[MarketingBully]

We have Fitz thinking way too much.

[HoopsDawg]

all these protection issues are going to be magnified x10 vs LSU, AU, Bama, UGA, and A&M.

[MarketingBully]

Little shaky for Fitz today. He's gotta be better

Mullen is running the senior Dak offense and Fitz isn't ready for it.

[defiantdog]

We have Fitz thinking way too much.
#RTDF

[Dawgology]

Yeah high or behind. Lots of zip though.

[defiantdog]

Abram is in the game at safety now

[HoopsDawg]

Abram in the game.

[Quaoarsking]

In other news, ranked team South Florida is losing at halftime to Stony Brook.

[MarketingBully]

all these protection issues are going to be magnified x10 vs LSU, AU, Bama, UGA, and A&M.

Most of our protection issues can be attributed to Fitz being used as a pocket passer because Mullen is playing him that way.

[smootness]

It doesn't help that all his snaps are on the ground. Takes your eyes off the field, cuts down on your time to see the field and throw, and has a tendency to make you panic a bit.

[RocketDawg]

Little shaky for Fitz sometimes today. He's gonna get better with snaps

He looked great when it mattered. Hard to be too enthused with a 35 point lead. He's fine.

[ShotgunDawg]

all these protection issues are going to be magnified x10 vs LSU, AU, Bama, UGA, and A&M.

Maybe, but, when we aren't running Fitz as a main part of the offense, our offense is off & the pass rush increases.

Against LSU, AU, Bama, UGA, & A&M, Fitz will be running the ball a ton & it changes everything in the way the defense rushes us

[RocketDawg]

In other news, ranked team South Florida is losing at halftime to Stony Brook.


The need to pick it up. We don't need SEC teams losing to the Stony Brooks of the world. **

[ShotgunDawg]

Most of our protection issues can be attributed to Fitz being used as a pocket passer because Mullen is playing him that way.

This.

We run 2 different offenses. Our main offense puts the QB at risk of injury & thus isn't used when we are dominating.

We aren't a pocket passing offense. Look at Florida after Tebow left. They were a mess with the pocket passer.

Mullen/Meyer offense requires a running QB &, when they are using that part of the offense, it bogs down.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

have 90% of the snaps been at Fitzgeralds feet?

[1bigdawg]

We are not getting good protection in the passing game.

[ShotgunDawg]

We are not getting good protection in the passing game.

Agree. Good thing our normal, QB running offense isn't designed around that.

[starkvegasdawg]

have 90% of the snaps been at Fitzgeralds feet?

Was just coming here to post the same thing. It's killed the timing on some plays. On the bright side they're making up for it with no pass protection.

[MarketingBully]

This.

We run 2 different offenses. Our main offense puts the QB at risk of injury & thus isn't used when we are dominating.

We aren't a pocket passing offense. Look at Florida after Tebow left. They were a mess with the pocket passer.

Mullen/Meyer offense requires a running QB.

He's thinking way too much. He should still be in the mode of if your first two options aren't open run it. Dak had this luxury in his redshirt junior season. He didn't have to run this offense until his senior season. You have to be fully developed as a QB to make this type of the offense work.

[HoopsDawg]

We are not getting good protection in the passing game.

No we are not. We are getting beat and not picking up LB's.

[preachermatt83]

Well, one thing I can say is I think we are ready to roll on defense. Specifically stopping the run.

[MarketingBully]

Well, one thing I can say is I think we are ready to roll on defense. Specifically stopping the run.

I love seeing the aggressiveness and attitude.

[Commercecomet24]

No we are not. We are getting beat and not picking up LB's.

That's what I see. We aren't switching and picking up the free rushers. Hope that's just new guys and we see adjustments second half.

[starkvegasdawg]

I love seeing the aggressiveness and attitude.

One first down?

[RocketDawg]

One first down?

We held Auburn to no first downs in the first half back around 2000. And that's when they had a running back that was supposed to be so good (Johnson?). I think they had a total of 24 yards offense in the first half.

[Coach007]

Its hard to stay up when you are leading, but he missed some easy passes. Needed more touch.

[starkvegasdawg]

CSU 19 total yards in the first half.

[HoopsDawg]

I hope to see a lot of Kylin Hill in the 2nd half.

[HoopsDawg]

Its hard to stay up when you are leading, but he missed some easy passes. Needed more touch.

I thought his touch was very good at times. A lot of low snaps. Had 3 drops from his receivers. Had one ball tipped. And then missed on a few throws.

[Commercecomet24]

Fitz has been off some but we have also dropped 3 passes that could've kept drives going.

[HoopsDawg]

Damn Logan. I like it.

[Bully13]

Not liking some up the middle runs being stuffed by their undersized line.

liking the new D being displayed.

[preachermatt83]

Gerri green may be finally living up to his hype.

[preachermatt83]

Gosh fez Harris is fast. Our defense can fly.

[Drugdog]

These low snaps need to be eliminated. Inexcusable.

[Commercecomet24]

Dang for somebody with two tore up knees dez can sure run!

[preachermatt83]

I want us to pitch a shutout.

[Dawg61]

Is the CSU capable of throwing a pass? They refuse to pass the ball ever.

[RocketDawg]

Fitz under center for the first play. Eliminated low snap at least.

[Bully13]

17 this shit. 70 LB difference and we continue to not be able to run up the middle

[preachermatt83]

Gray has great hands.

[Bully13]

Good pass by Fitz and WR

[TimberBeast]

Good job by dan of keeping fitz in, this is a good practice. He should not be running though.

[Bully13]

we have too many WTF plays, need to get better

[preachermatt83]

Like that push from the OLine.

[PMDawg]

Western Michigan up on southern Cal.

[Bully13]

I wanna see a TD here with some KT going forward..

[preachermatt83]

Where the crap is couch?

[Bully13]

bullshit throw there by Fitz.....gotta stop that shit

[TimberBeast]

I think the bad snaps are definitely disruptive to fitz.

[redstickdawg]

Fitz has a lot of zip on the ball, too much at times. Has missed 2 TD's due to no arc on the ball.

[preachermatt83]

Myles finally learned to hold onto the ball. That'll be big.

[maroonmania]

Love Fitz but his accuracy is still nowhere near what Prescott's was and likely never will be. He still is a heck of QB for us though with his running ability.

[preachermatt83]

I think the bad snaps are definitely disruptive to fitz.

No doubt. Having to drop his eyes

[Dawgology]

Fitz has a lot of zip on the ball, too much at times. Has missed 2 TD's due to no arc on the ball.

Noticed that also but luckily that is easily corrected and will get better as he calms down on the year.

[Bully13]

injury t/o. why the 17 are we seeing so many "don't have a clue " pass plays against this team?

[Commercecomet24]

Nice drive there! Ol much cleaner and very crisp!

[preachermatt83]

Hate to say it but wonder why Gibson nor Murphy has not transferred?

[Commercecomet24]

Fitz is just rushing things a little. Easily correctable.

[GreenheadDawg]

No doubt. Having to drop his eyes

That's what I'm gonna chalk the bad passes up to. It's messing up his rhythm. But he should have been able to hit Johnson on the last one left handed. That was bad

[RocketDawg]

injury t/o. why the 17 are we seeing so many "don't have a clue " pass plays against this team?

I don't really see a lot to complain about today.

[GreenheadDawg]

Hate to say it but wonder why Gibson nor Murphy has not transferred?

I'm surprised at this too. I don't see them getting many snaps either since Hill is here.

[Dawg61]

Hate to say it but wonder why Gibson nor Murphy has not transferred?

Let's see if they get some snaps here on. This game is over. We should not be playing our 1s anywhere on the field.

[Commercecomet24]

No doubt. Having to drop his eyes

Yep it's why he's rushing his throws some.

[PMDawg]

I wish we were in the East. 2nd AT WORST this year.

[Mjoelner34]

Logan Cooke is pounding flat spots into the balls on kickoffs. Everything has been inside the 5 with monster hang time. Several have gone out the back of the end zone on the fly.

[Dawgface]

Love Fitz but his accuracy is still nowhere near what Prescott's was and likely never will be. He still is a heck of QB for us though with his running ability.

+1

[Commercecomet24]

I wish we were in the East. 2nd AT WORST this year.

No doubt!

[HoopsDawg]

Good thing is we still have talent on our 3rd string defense.

[Commercecomet24]

Dang we have a pass rush too!

[Dawg61]

26 total yards for CSU! Grantham is the MAN

[Commercecomet24]

Good thing is we still have talent on our 3rd string defense.

Yeah we do! Good to see!

[HoopsDawg]

Welp, there goes the redshirt.

[RocketDawg]

Key is in!

[HoopsDawg]

I don't like it, but I guess we didn't have a choice.

[Delmar]

Gibson running hard

[Commercecomet24]

Gibson looking good too!

[HoopsDawg]

Gibson always impresses me.

[Dawg61]

Nice power run by Gibson

[HoopsDawg]

2nd string line in too.

[Commercecomet24]

I know we still have some things to address but Dan is building a very talented team and program!

[msstate7]

Welp, there goes the redshirt.

He can play in 4 games and still RS

[HoopsDawg]

He can play in 4 games and still RS

No he can't. That rule goes into effect next year.

[Commercecomet24]

Dang Day has a powerful leg!

[RocketDawg]

He can play in 4 games and still RS

I thought so too, but from what I've heard that new rule hasn't been passed yet. So his RS is gone now. Which is OK.

[PMDawg]

Geez, that was not a good series for KT.

[HoopsDawg]

Day doesn't get much height on his kicks.

[Dawg61]

Atta Boy Dan! Glad you put in Key.

[Commercecomet24]

No he can't. That rule goes into effect next year.

Yep.

[msstate7]

No he can't. That rule goes into effect next year.

That's what I said


Haha... oh ok

[MoreCowbell]

I agree. The most impressed I've been 1st game under Dan. We certainly look the part. We could make some noise if we clean up a few things. We have the talent to beat anyone if we figure it out.

[GreenheadDawg]

I don't like it, but I guess we didn't have a choice.

Yeh I'm not crazy about burning it.

[Commercecomet24]

Another forced fumble!

[smootness]

He could always redshirt next year if Fitz comes back. But it's probably the best decision to burn it, for several reasons.

[bostondawg]

KT looks lost.

[Dawg61]

KT looks lost.

More reason to burn it now then.

[preachermatt83]

Absolutely perfect form tackle from Kobe there. Our defense can flat out tackle.

[BeardoMSU]

Even our 2s and 3s on D are flying around. Nice.

[GreenheadDawg]

KT looks lost.

What did you expect? Him to come into his first game and take Fitz's spot. Jesus man

[HoopsDawg]

KT looks lost.

It was his first series in college + he is playing behind our 2nd string O-line.

[ShotgunDawg]

I've never seen a fan base so intent on red shirting everyone.

Sheesh. Lets win now & recruit well & play the best players

[Leroy Jenkins]

Remember "Hawk" tacklin'

[Pollodawg]

Defense may have gone from the weakness of This team to its strength.
M

[HoopsDawg]

Remember "Hawk" tacklin'

vomit!!

[Commercecomet24]

I've never seen a fan base so intent on red shirting everyone.

Sheesh. Lets win now & recruit well & play the best players

Hell yeah! Play em!

[Reason2succeed]

Defense may have gone from the weakness of This team to its strength.
M

Looks like

[HoopsDawg]

Our corners can hit you.

[preachermatt83]

As great of assignment defense as I've seen in a long time.

[Commercecomet24]

We are knocking the snot out of people! Love seeing physical defense again!

[ShotgunDawg]

Key looks like a true freshman

[RocketDawg]

As great of assignment defense as I've seen in a long time.

Gotta wonder what Louisville is going to look like this year. When do they play?

[Pollodawg]

KT looks like he has no clue what's happening.

[HoopsDawg]

Man, watch this 2nd unit o-line. Nice recruiting Hev!!!!

[Dawg61]

Remember "Hawk" tacklin'

[HoopsDawg]

Story just whiffed! SMH!!!

[Delmar]

Gotta wonder what Louisville is going to look like this year. When do they play?

I have a pretty good idea what Louisville is going to look like

[VandelayIndustries]

KT looks like he has no clue what's happening.

First time playing college football, he's probably nervous as hell

[defiantdog]

KT needs this.... he's our backup. He needs to grow up fast and red shirting won't help.

[TimberBeast]

I agree. The most impressed I've been 1st game under Dan. We certainly look the part. We could make some noise if we clean up a few things. We have the talent to beat anyone if we figure it out.

Same here, no major screwups by the coaches. Only 2 issues I see are the bad snaps, that has to be fixed yesterday. And also someone has to teach dan how to challenge a play. It has been a problem with him since day 1.

[preachermatt83]

I'm just flat out impressed with our defense. I don't care who we are playing. Speed kills and my goodness do we fly to the ball

[VandelayIndustries]

Best the D has looked in a long time

[preachermatt83]

I have a pretty good idea what Louisville is going to look like

At 630 I think. Against Purdue.

[MoreCowbell]

Very true, I've just gotten use to a few wtf moments from Dan though. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess. If we can run the ball with Fitz and our stable of backs and the defense plays like this we should win 7/8 easy

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm just flat out impressed with our defense. I don't care who we are playing. Speed kills and my goodness do we fly to the ball

Agree. We've played bad offenses before that we've looked bad against.

We look organized, fast, & physical

[Dawg61]

Same here, no major screwups by the coaches. Only 2 issues I see are the bad snaps, that has to be fixed yesterday. And also someone has to teach dan how to challenge a play. It has been a problem with him since day 1.

Yea shoulda challenged that Ballard play vs Auburn. He scored damnit!

[Commercecomet24]

Agree. We've played bad offenses before that we've looked bad against.

We look organized, fast, & physical

Yeah this ain't the same ol defense.

[Dawg61]

Oh that's not gonna help your yardage CSU

[Dawg61]

7 total yards now!!!

[preachermatt83]

7 total yards. Wow!!

[Treemydawg]

Best the D has looked in a long time

The last time our defense looked like this Joe Lee Dunn was roaming the sidelines.

[RocketDawg]

They should just call this game. The stadium's almost empty anyway.
