[PMDawg]

Smart play by Leo

[bluelightstar]

I can?t wait until the Moorhead era is over

[Dawg61]

This team won’t win 5 games.

Take 5 hours off

[TimberBeast]

Eliminate the mistakes and this will be a blowout.

I don’t know, we look pretty bad. They have handed us the ball on multiple turnovers.

[Dawgology]

Leo Lewis out there playing soccer.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Then Mother 17er tried to come out on the field. I will tell you what......we need to get the coaching ckeaned up. This is little league bullshit.

[msstate7]

Our D is gonna struggle mightily this year.

Nah, we'll never miss 3 1st round guys. We reload like Bama

[HoopsDawg]

Leo lewis. That was chickenshit.

That was a heads up play.

[BrunswickDawg]

Leo lewis. That was chickenshit.

It was smart - we had 12 on the field

[maroonmania]

Our D is gonna struggle mightily this year.

Yep, we may get the UT Bob Shoop this year.

[Irondawg]

Our defense does not look good at all, I mean at all

[Turfdawg67]

And still looks 10 times better than Lewis.

Sadly true...

[Pollodawg]

We?re 7-6 at best. At best.

[HoopsDawg]

Looking like a Shoop UT defense.

[PMDawg]

This is the worst defense we've had since Sirmon.

[MarketingBully]

Block in the ****ing back!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

This defense is awful

[Dawgology]

egregious block in the back missed and the ref was right there. Wow

[magrooder]

If you couldn't see that play fake coming you've never played the f'n game. Piss poor defense on that play.

[VandelayIndustries]

Errol Thompson looks absolutely lost

[Coursesuper]

Block in the ****ing back!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a flop

[Skydawg1]

Getting our shit pushed in by the Sun Belt.

[Turfdawg67]

GD Thompson... reading your own clippings this preseason?

[bobtail bob]

LOL ! Sunshine pumpers assemble. We'll be lucky to win this game

[MedDawg]

Was that an illegal block in the back not called?

[Lord McBuckethead]

And that mentality has manifested itself in every aspect of our team right now. Can't get the play snapped before 3 seconds on the clock, don't execute when we do snap, and can't stop them on defense without flopping. Man, we have some stuff to talk about at half. We should still win, but these teams look even, and they shouldn't.

[Fader21]

Block in the ****ing back!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was but he wouldn't have made the tackle anyways

[MarketingBully]

So the SEC refs call that on us when Lewis doesn’t even touch the guy and when a ****ing ULL pleb pushes our guy down crickets.

[maroonmania]

Why bring that out?

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

Yeah it is.



It is amazing.

Almost as amazing as morhead's coachiny

[Dawg61]

ULL gets away with an obvious push in the back but he woulda scored anyways. Defense looks awful.

[RocketDawg]

There needs to be a penalty for a fake injury.

[FordhamRams]

What happened to Errol Thompson?! He was one of my favorite players last year. Fast and hit like a ton of bricks. He looks so fat, slow and out of shape today. What happened?!

[Liverpooldawg]

Defense is terrible. Iron out the mistakes the offense isn't that bad.

[MarketingBully]

It was but he wouldn't have made the tackle anyways

That would have held them to a field goal there and helped them clear the way. That should be called 10 out of 10 times.

[Homedawg]

When you can't stop the run....... well......

[ShotgunDawg]

Our special teams are awful

[defiantdog]

So the SEC refs call that on us when Lewis doesn’t even touch the guy and when a ****ing ULL pleb pushes our guy down crickets.
Make up call for the flop

[Coach007]

Almost as amazing as morhead's coachiny

Yeah...... and with fans like you we dont need ole miss.




Simply screw you and your desire to hope for the worst so you can complain

[Dawgology]

It was a flop

No it wasn’t. Happened right in front of me. Clearly a lot of contact

[Turfdawg67]

LOL ! Sunshine pumpers assemble. We'll be lucky to win this game

LOL! Shitty fans assemble. You love a good State struggle.

[Saltydog]

Our DL is as bad as some here said. Some of the so called "swing games" on our schedule now have me very concerned. I realize it's the first game but the snapshot so far isn't good.

[MedDawg]

We really needed to pick up that loose fumble earlier and run it in instead of falling on it (and not scoring).

[msstate7]

Thank God we gotta pro QB now

[Homedawg]

What happened to Errol Thompson?! He was one of my favorite players last year. Fast and hit like a ton of bricks. He looks so fat, slow and out of shape today. What happened?!

He can't run free like he did last year. Our DL was taking up the blocks and didn't make it to the second level much. Different story

[Cooterpoot]

Our DL is making our LBs look bad. That DL is a joke. We downgraded at coach there too.

[maroonmania]

Gosh, wide open and the pass is terrible. Is it that hard for us to find a QB that can throw the ball reasonably accurate past 20 yards.

[Pollodawg]

Still can?t throw. I see why this guy was a career backup.

[HoopsDawg]

Tommy's got a cannon.

[ShotgunDawg]

Missed that one, but I like Tommy's deep ball

[ShotgunDawg]

Gosh, wide open and the pass is terrible. Is it that hard for us to find a QB that can throw the ball reasonably accurate past 20 yards.

I like the way he spun. Not great accuracy there, but it looked good. They'll sync that up

[R2Dawg]

Lot so of young players on DL. They'll get better

let's also remember that ULL returns their entire OL. Not that they're good, but they at least know what they're doing

I'll sat this the are way better than Miami OL. UL running game is legit top 20, don't forget that.

[maroonmania]

Still can?t throw. I see why this guy was a career backup.

Pretty obvious this offense needs an accurate throwing QB even if you have a guy that can't run.

[RocketDawg]

It was smart - we had 12 on the field

He shoulda been penalized.

[Cowbell]

Thank God we gotta pro QB now

Glad we have a lot of pro coaches on here

[maroonmania]

Wow, an Austin Williams sighting.

[defiantdog]

Are we complaining he overthrew a 50 yard pass?

[Liverpooldawg]

He can't run free like he did last year. Our DL was taking up the blocks and didn't make it to the second level much. Different story

Exactly

[magrooder]

Nice throw and catch by Stevens and Austin.

[Turfdawg67]

He can't run free like he did last year. Our DL was taking up the blocks and didn't make it to the second level much. Different story

He's been out of position on nearly every play... and he's either wearing a jersey two sizes too small or he's fat.

[Cowbell]

Pretty obvious this offense needs an accurate throwing QB even if you have a guy that can't run.

I think that’s every offense....

[RocketDawg]

Kylin Hill is playing today.

[magrooder]

Damn Williams is down.

[Turfdawg67]

Glad we have a lot of pro coaches on here


He's been waiting and waiting so he could make that statement...

[ShotgunDawg]

OL looks great

[PMDawg]

Tommy has missed a couple of throws, but at least he's flashing. I think he'll get better and better as we go.

[HoopsDawg]

No!!! Daryl Williams!!

[Bdawg]

Jeez. Not Williams!!

[maroonmania]

Stevens missed the TD there.

[Turfdawg67]

Gosh, wide open and the pass is terrible. Is it that hard for us to find a QB that can throw the ball reasonably accurate past 20 yards.

You got any eligibility? You'd probably be as good a qb as you are a coach and a fan.

[msstate7]

OL looks great

ULL's run defense was 112th last season.

[bobtail bob]

That would have been a 102 fastball by Fitz there. Tommy is a talented QB that's easy to see but if these upper classman WRs continued to not get open it's time for some of the younger ones to get in there. We have to find someone for Stevens to gell with

[Bdawg]

Nice catch Farrod. Williams back too whew!

[Pollodawg]

That was a missed td

[Cooterpoot]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

[magrooder]

Good answer for the ULL score.

[RocketDawg]

Fitz into the end zone!

[dantheman4248]

I should be used to terrible coverage by ESPN but every year I am astounded more and more.

[maroonmania]

You got any eligibility? You'd probably be as good a qb as you are a coach and a fan.

So Stevens overthrows a wide open receiver by 20 yards and we aren't allowed to say anything. Are you Tommy's Mom?

[PMDawg]

That's what he was setting up. Well played Joe.

[magrooder]

Maybe Lawless will settle in to making his kicks. Both extra points after the miss have been routine.

[Coach007]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

Frick u

[MarketingBully]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

You make that post right when we march it down the field for a TD. Good one.

[Turfdawg67]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

No comment now?? Hmmm. Figures.

[Liverpooldawg]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

Stevens looks pretty good actually. The defense sucks.

[ShotgunDawg]

ULL's run defense was 112th last season.

Yeah, but we're blocking the right guys & I know we have talent.

The OL looked worse in the 1st game last year

[Irondawg]

What the hell was that kick

[Bdawg]

ULL's run defense was 112th last season.

Then we are doing what we should in the run game.

[magrooder]

I absolutley hate that f'n kick off. Ridiculous to give them the 50 for free.

[ShotgunDawg]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

We'll see. The offense hasn't been perfect today, but we look competent

[HoopsDawg]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

Stevens looks good to me.

[defiantdog]

Joey Jones isn't earning his paycheck

[PMDawg]

Stevens isn’t the answer. This offense isn’t either.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Stevens. It's the defense that should concern you.

[Dawg61]

ULL's run defense was 112th last season.

Remembering now why I had you on the ignore list for four months

[Turfdawg67]

So Stevens overthrows a wide open receiver by 20 yards and we aren't allowed to say anything. Are you Tommy's Mom?

You only chime in when it's negative. You are a SH*TTY typical MSU fan.

[maroonmania]

I think that’s every offense....

No, not really. Mullen's offense needed a running QB and any passing accuracy was just a luxury.

[msstate7]

Remembering now why I had you on the ignore list for four months

ULL defense is pathetic. Sorry reality bothers you

[Turfdawg67]

Remembering now why I had you on the ignore list for four months


He's still on mine and if you wouldn't quote him I wouldn't see his any of his 55,000 posts.

[defiantdog]

Our offense looks fine for a new qb and a new center. Our defense is getting pushed around though.

[Coach007]

You only chime in when it's negative. You are a SH*TTY typical MSU fan.

I get sick of these people. Honestly. They are nothing more than fair weathered...... they suck.

[RocketDawg]

Go for a Hail Mary here.

[VandelayIndustries]

ULL kneeling there, that was dumb

[Cooterpoot]

Our offense looks fine for a new qb and a new center. Our defense is getting pushed around though.

Our offense looks like crap too. This is a weak ULL team.

[maroonmania]

You only chime in when it's negative. You are a SH*TTY typical MSU fan.

If you don't like my posts don't read them. What a pansy.

[DownwardDawg]

We looking bad so far fellas. Hopefully we’ll start to find our groove in 2nd half.

[HoopsDawg]

Welp, we get 4 games with Autry and Gay. Better choose wisely.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our offense looks like crap too. This is a weak ULL team.

But the execution & protection looks right. I think we are going to be significantly better on offense this year. Defensively, we don't look like a top 60 unit.

Tackling has been a real issue, but that can improve

[defiantdog]

Our offense looks like crap too. This is a weak ULL team.
They had a slow start, but we look like a more complete offense compared to last year.

[Turfdawg67]

I get sick of these people. Honestly. They are nothing more than fair weathered...... they suck.

LOL! I know better than to look in too... game threads aren't for the faint of heart. They are where all of our worse fans congregate.

[dantheman4248]

This is why you should play FCS teams week 1 instead of week 13.

Work out the kinks now. Get guys the live game reps that they are not used to.

Memphis 13 - OM 0
Toledo 14 - UK 14
MSU 21 - ULL 14

The entire SEC is struggling this morning.

[Saltydog]

Still think we're the 3rd best team in the SEC? Still think we win 11?

[Dawg61]

ULL defense is pathetic. Sorry reality bothers you


Reality doesn't bother me. You do. But that's your intention. Back on the list you go.

[msstate7]

Different year, but last season, it was 35-3 at half. We had 5 offensive possessions and scored a td on all 5. Fitz had 4 incompletions in the 1st half

[Coursesuper]

So Stevens overthrows a wide open receiver by 20 yards and we aren't allowed to say anything. Are you Tommy's Mom?

If they don?t like it they just can?t stand to hear it, kinda of a sad commentary about our society.

[msstate7]

Reality doesn't bother me. You do. But that's your intention. Back on the list you go.

This really bothers me

[maroonmania]

Stevens looks good to me.

He has actually played pretty well, just taking a little long on his decisions at times but hopefully that will improve. His shorter passes have been on target.

[dantheman4248]

Defense has had one bad drive. Special teams cost us a TD. The issues on offense look more like rust / not used to game speed than lack of talent.

[NCDawg]

This offense is just like last year. Very slow. Looking over to the sidelines changing the play, letting the clock run down. I had hopes we would go faster this year with a new QB. I guess no such luck, just Moorhead's system. But I, for one, really dislike it.

[msstate7]

This is why you should play FCS teams week 1 instead of week 13.

Work out the kinks now. Get guys the live game reps that they are not used to.

Memphis 13 - OM 0
Toledo 14 - UK 14
MSU 21 - ULL 14

The entire SEC is struggling this morning.

That's cool if you put us in Kentucky and OM's level, but you yourself said there's a better chance we go 12-0 than 6-6. That seems to imply we are on another level than Kentucky and om

[MarketingBully]

Different year, but last season, it was 35-3 at half. We had 5 offensive possessions and scored a td on all 5. Fitz had 4 incompletions in the 1st half

Well if we didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot it could easily be 35-7 in this game.

[BrunswickDawg]

Different year, but last season, it was 35-3 at half. We had 5 offensive possessions and scored a td on all 5. Fitz had 4 incompletions in the 1st half

That was also the 3rd game of the year, and Fitz's 2nd. Already had time to work out typical first game issues.

[Lord McBuckethead]

On the good note, everything I see right now is pretty much coaching. Hill, Mitchell, and Stevens looks like they are here to work. Get a little bit of tempo and get into a groove and we pull away.

On defense, we have sucked so far. People out of position. People not tightening their coverage. People not tackling. That is coaching and players. Shoop should adjust at half.

Lets go.

[dantheman4248]

This offense is just like last year. Very slow. Looking over to the sidelines changing the play, letting the clock run down. I had hopes we would go faster this year with a new QB. I guess no such luck, just Moorhead's system. But I, for one, really dislike it.

Selective watching. We have moved with tempo today between the 20s (drive to end 1st Q, last two drives have all done this with a check one play each drive that just stands out). The red zone is where the offense slows way down.

[msstate7]

They had a slow start, but we look like a more complete offense compared to last year.

Fitz was 14/21 243 yds 2 td 0 int vs ULL last season. Not sure what you base this on.

[maroonmania]

If they don?t like it they just can?t stand to hear it, kinda of a sad commentary about our society.

There hasn't been a lot about that half of football to be happy with given the competition. That is just the reality of things. Gotta love the MSU board police fans though.

[MarketingBully]

Defense has had one bad drive. Special teams cost us a TD. The issues on offense look more like rust / not used to game speed than lack of talent.

Good take. I think that is what it is more then anything. Remember this is the first time Stevens has started since high school.

[defiantdog]

That's cool if you put us in Kentucky and OM's level, but you yourself said there's a better chance we go 12-0 than 6-6. That seems to imply we are on another level than Kentucky and om

I don't usually agree with you, but you've been on point in this thread.

[MarketingBully]

Fitz was 14/21 243 yds 2 td 0 int vs ULL last season. Not sure what you base this on.

Where was Fitz in his first ever start? What game was that in the schedule? These things matter. That half of football looked more like a first game. The ULL game last year was what the 3rd or 4th game on the schedule?

[Cooterpoot]

I feel better since I hit the 10 beer mark.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well if we didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot it could easily be 35-7 in this game.

Exactly. I look to clean it up this half.

[Bdawg]

Our offense looks like crap too. This is a weak ULL team.

Yeah only 300+ yards this half and on pace to score 42. Turnovers have made us look just ok. Defense needs to tighten up a bit. We'll see if Shoop adjusts.

[Westdawg]

I have actually seen a young DL that has created some pressure on passing downs and several hits where they simply didn't fully wrap up. And this is a really really good OL. And this will be one of the shiftiest and quick QBs we will see this year

[Cooterpoot]

Where was Fitz in his first ever start? What game was that in the schedule? These things matter. That half of football looked more like a first game. The ULL game last year was what the 3rd or 4th game on the schedule?

Fitz first start wasn’t as a SR.

[defiantdog]

Fitz was 14/21 243 yds 2 td 0 int vs ULL last season. Not sure what you base this on.

Last year's ULL team was completely different.

[MarketingBully]

On the good note, everything I see right now is pretty much coaching. Hill, Mitchell, and Stevens looks like they are here to work. Get a little bit of tempo and get into a groove and we pull away.

On defense, we have sucked so far. People out of position. People not tightening their coverage. People not tackling. That is coaching and players. Shoop should adjust at half.

Lets go.

The scheme is sound. I’ve seen a shit ton of missed tackles.

[Coursesuper]

There hasn't been a lot about that half of football to be happy with given the competition. That is just the reality of things. Gotta love the MSU board police fans though.

Yep, I’m sure they are a real joy live and in person.

[msstate7]

Where was Fitz in his first ever start? What game was that in the schedule? These things matter. That half of football looked more like a first game. The ULL game last year was what the 3rd or 4th game on the schedule?

That's fair. Stevens was supposed to be infinitely better in this offense though according to most of this board.

[Duckdog]

KT!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

A play before 2 seconds on the clock. Let the O get in rhythm

[Bdawg]

Fitz was 14/21 243 yds 2 td 0 int vs ULL last season. Not sure what you base this on.

Quit comparing last year. Last year don't mean shit for either team. Just like Mullen used to say, it's a new team every year.

[MarketingBully]

That's fair. Stevens was supposed to be infinitely better in this offense though according to most of this board.

He is better but he will be infinitely better as we go through the season. He definitely is a better passer and I think he will he as good a runner as we get through the season but we won’t be running our QB nearly as much as we did last year.

[Dawg61]

I feel better since I hit the 10 beer mark.

Good. I like this version of you. Have some rep.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Maybe give him a solid 8 drives at game speed. He is atleadt targeting the correct guys every play. Just hasn't gotten his internal clock set and timing yet. You have to admit, those throws looked pretty. Timing will get there.

[msstate7]

Quit comparing last year. Last year don't mean shit for either team. Just like Mullen used to say, it's a new team every year.

Well, that was in response to a comment saying we look more complete on offense. Context matters

[Westdawg]

That's fair. Stevens was supposed to be infinitely better in this offense though according to most of this board.

I'm not gonna "sing his praises" but if you can't see that he is seeing the field better in this offense than Fitzgerald, then I'm not sure you understand what you're seeing. Yeah, you can tell that tommy has not gotten rid of it a couple times when he should have, but he's going through the second and third reads. The only thing I would say he's not done passing that I wish he would recognize is that Hill has been open several times and he could have simply dumped it off and gotten positive yards.

[dantheman4248]

That's cool if you put us in Kentucky and OM's level, but you yourself said there's a better chance we go 12-0 than 6-6. That seems to imply we are on another level than Kentucky and om

We're the only 3 teams in our conference playing right now and we're actually winning our game looking competent. I didn't put us on their level. I gave context as to how the conference is doing on noon kickoffs in week 1.

Florida looked worse on offense than last year with the same QB too. TAMU played basically FCS level competition and took a bit to put it "out of reach".

[Dawg61]

Last year's ULL team was completely different.

This! ULL is a much better team game #15 under Napier than game #3

[Bdawg]

So no Williams and Parker for second half. Ouch

[Cooterpoot]

This! ULL is a much better team game #15 under Napier than game #3

MSU is not a much better team in game 13 of Joe Moorhead.

[BrunswickDawg]

That's fair. Stevens was supposed to be infinitely better in this offense though according to most of this board.
Ok - compared it to how Fitz looked against KSU. Pretty sure that game caused a meltdown and calls for KT to start.

[Delmar]

Tackling is our biggest issue

[Dawg61]

MSU is not a much better team in game 13 of Joe Moorhead.

Our defense certainly isn't but we all knew it'd be a downgrade this year. That's not on Joe. Yet.

[maroonmania]

So no Williams and Parker for second half. Ouch

Both walked off on their own. Do we know they won't be back?

[Liverpooldawg]

Well, that was in response to a comment saying we look more complete on offense. Context matters

We do look more complete.

[Liverpooldawg]

Tackling is our biggest issue

THIS.

[Pollodawg]

Lol at the Refs bailing our D out.

[maroonmania]

We won't really know what we have on offense until we play our first SEC game.

[maroonmania]

Lol at the Refs bailing our D out.

Well, they didn't bail our D out on the block in back TD play for ULL.

[Pollodawg]

Have to score here and get some separation. Can’t believe I’m typing that.

[msstate7]

We won't really know what we have on offense until we play our first SEC game.

Yep.

[maroonmania]

Why is Dear returning punts rather than a proven commodity like Zuber?

[PMDawg]

Credit where credit is due. Defense played a nice series there.

[Pollodawg]

Well, they didn't bail our D out on the block in back TD play for ULL.

Shouldn’t have needed it.

[DownwardDawg]

I feel better since I hit the 10 beer mark.

I just started. Hopefully it?ll work for me too.

[HoopsDawg]

Why is Dear returning punts rather than a proven commodity like Zuber?

Good question

[ShotgunDawg]

Why is Dear returning punts rather than a proven commodity like Zuber?

Because coach doesn't want Zuber tired for offense on the next play

[maroonmania]

Shouldn’t have needed it.

Our D will need all they help they can get this year.

[msstate7]

Williams and Parker out?

[PMDawg]

A counter! Who could have guessed!
Followed up by a deep pass. Wtf Moorhead?

[ShotgunDawg]

We won't really know what we have on offense until we play our first SEC game.

Collectively yes, but individually I think you can say that certain guys look like upgrades over last season

[maroonmania]

Because coach doesn't want Zuber tired for offense on the next play

Get real, Zuber isn't even running 1st string right now.

[defiantdog]

Because coach doesn't want Zuber tired for offense on the next play

Zuber hasn't been in many offensive plays

[maroonmania]

Williams and Parker out?

Apparently so, with back injuries?

[R2Dawg]

We have 4 OL out and still pounding the ball. OL is deep and good. Hill is a stud

[RocketDawg]

Williams and Parker out?

Yes, the announcers said they are. Back injuries, I think they said.

[defiantdog]

We have 4 OL out and still pounding the ball. OL is deep and good. Hill is a stud

Hill is going to run for 250

[msstate7]

Hill is really good running the ball

[magrooder]

Hill with the hard run for the TD

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was a solid drive.

[Cooterpoot]

Hill looks good. Really good. He gone after this year.

[RocketDawg]

Looking much better the second half, on both sides of the ball.

Kylin is the game's MVP.

[dantheman4248]

And Hill hits the 20 carry mark. Game 1 of this season has Joe understand to hand it to the workhorse and RTGDFB. 4th Q runs (and already now) this will pay dividends in games.

ETA: 3 games last year Hill had 17+ carries and we won all 3. (KSU, Auburn, Ole Miss)

[PMDawg]

Separation. Nice. Hope we get cleaned up and blow them out now.

[maroonmania]

Good drive to start the 2nd half, especially with 2 OL starters out.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm telling ya, I like what the OL has done today. It's been really clean

[BrunswickDawg]

And Hill hits the 20 carry mark. Game 1 of this season has Joe understand to hand it to the workhorse and RTGDFB. 4th Q runs (and already now) this will pay dividends in games.

We gave it to our best workhorse runner all last year - he just happened to play QB not RB.

[MarketingBully]

Good drive to start the 2nd half, especially with 2 OL starters out.

I’m thinking that’s more precautionary then they are hurt bad. They were playing at the end of the first half.

[R2Dawg]

Credit where credit is due. Defense played a nice series there.

Agree, helped by penalties but the front got some penetration and made a few plays. Lovett growing up a little. Still looking for our DE to make a play? LB play been iffy too.

First game anxiety and UL has a very good run game. They may be a little better than many thought.

[bobtail bob]

I think the offense will continue to improve if the line can stay healthy.
The defense will have some trouble with the SEC though. They just don't look strong and Leo Lewis looks slow

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Sorry I know this has been asked but is Christman out for just this game?

[dantheman4248]

We gave it to our best workhorse runner all last year - he just happened to play QB not RB.

Well we have a real QB who can run instead of a HB who can throw opposite our workhorse so this strategy is way more viable. Plus Kylin is a stronger runner than Nick.

[Westdawg]

A counter! Who could have guessed!
Followed up by a deep pass. Wtf Moorhead?

Dude, we are playing vanilla with our O base calling. If it works, and they can't stop it, why not? Also, a lot of RPO design based off that counter blocking. We just aren't showing much of it beyond the counter run.

[msstate7]

Our offense better be damn good this year

True freshmen playing on D in the first game of the season. Jones got confused on that pass play there.

[Liverpooldawg]

We do not tackle well.

[defiantdog]

Kobe Jones needs to move inside. He doesn't know how to play DE.

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense looks like shat

[ShotgunDawg]

We do not tackle well.

They'll get better

[mparkerfd20]

#75 was 10 yds downfield there. Should have been a flag

[defiantdog]

Defense is slow

[DownwardDawg]

Another turnover saves this putrid defense.

[PMDawg]

This is like Sirmon's year. Receivers running open, huge running lanes, and tons of missed tackles. The turnovers are saving us.

[MarketingBully]

This defense is going to have to get turnovers. Glad we have 4 so far.

[maroonmania]

Not sure how our guy got the ball but I will take it.

[mparkerfd20]

D grades a D- so far. Getting bailed out though by ULL miscues.

[Political Hack]

We're struggling a little defensively. Lots of missed open field tackles, but we've kept them out of the end zone for the most part.

I'd like to see us get into a rhythm throwing the ball. We know we can run it for 5+ a pop.

[DownwardDawg]

Our offense better be damn good this year

Agree. To go 8-4 like I projected, offense better be lights out. Not like today.

[FordhamRams]

Defense is slow

Agreed. Thompson looks like he should be playing DT

[MarketingBully]

This is like Sirmon's year. Receivers running open, huge running lanes, and tons of missed tackles. The turnovers are saving us.

It’s concerning but this is the first game and the players for the most part have been where they needed to be just need to tackle better.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not sure how he got that, but that is covering up some really bad defense. Have we even had a tFl today?

[WCUdawg88]

So apparently the test that the msu tutor took for our players was no other than Tackling 101. Sigh

[PMDawg]

Tommy has a good arm. The touch on the long ball will come as he gets into a rhythm with our WRs.

[defiantdog]

No sacks = slow defense

[Delmar]

Zuber!

[msstate7]

That was a nice pitch and catch

[Political Hack]

I'm liking Zuber.

[MarketingBully]

****ing hold.

[R2Dawg]

Agreed. Thompson looks like he should be playing DT

Thompson looks slow and out of shape. Don't understand that.

[maroonmania]

Our WRs are doing a much better job catching the ball this year. Our they have cannon man Fitz throwing the ball to them.

[defiantdog]

Hill has really done better with his blocking

[bobtail bob]

Have we even blitzed at all today ?

[Irondawg]

Tommy's not connecting on all his throws but he's making the read almost all the time it seems.

[R2Dawg]

Tommy has a good arm. The touch on the long ball will come as he gets into a rhythm with our WRs.

Tommy is a major upgrade at QB. We have a chance on O. Hill stud, Gibson very good. We can be good enough at WR & TE with right play calling. Mitchell looked good today.

[defiantdog]

Have we even blitzed at all today ?

Only with Cole..... We're keeping the LBs at bay

[msstate7]

Thompson looks slow and out of shape. Don't understand that.

4.73 guy according to Walter football

[HoopsDawg]

What a bush league officiating crew. It's 2nd down morons.

[Dawgology]

Replaying second down they said

[Cloak]

.

[HoopsDawg]

What is that call? Damn.

[bobtail bob]

These refs are still hungover

[parabrave]

We do not tackle well.

Nobody tackles well anymore.

[maroonmania]

Not really a smart football move going for this here at 4th and 6 with a 14 point lead and 1 quarter to go.

[Red Sox Dawg]

What a bush league officiating crew. It's 2nd down morons.

ISWYDT. LOL

[MarketingBully]

This drive stalled by another shit penalty by the OL. Had that problem last year too. These guys have to step up. That was a senseless hold by Eiland there too.

[Cloak]

ISWYDT. LOL

Lol I saw that too

[HoopsDawg]

What the F?!

[PMDawg]

So, we had a fake called?

[DownwardDawg]

Timeout. Wow

[Irondawg]

Boy Joey Jones units having some problems...... then great punt and we almost didn't down it b/c nobody knew where it was

[Red Sox Dawg]

Great punt

[msstate7]

Nice

[maroonmania]

Great punt!

[PMDawg]

Only way the TO makes sense is if we had a fake called and saw they were defending it.

[dantheman4248]

What a punt. First good special teams play today.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Punt unit was lined up wrong caused the time out

[msstate7]

Boy, glad we had pressure... that was set up

[Cooterpoot]

Say what you want about Day. He can kill it inside the 10 great. Cole has made a lot of plays today.

[defiantdog]

Brian Cole is saving our DL today

[Cooterpoot]

Look at Dear

[magrooder]

Poor punt by ULL, great runback by Dear!
