MSU/Memphis Game Thread

[bobtail bob]

Memphis has coached circles around our trash

[BulldogBear]

Pathetic 2nd half. We lost because we can't run the 17ing Football in from goal to go.

[No BS Dawg]

This is a damn joke. Plain and simple. We are pitiful.

[Matt3467]

Leach is HC, buck stops there. Stop the Will stuff, if Will ain't it, why don't Leach play someone else?

Not sure if our backups are that good either. Sawyer may be really good eventually but I doubt he's ready.

[KOdawg1]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is

Well when they start on our 35, can't blame them much

[Lord McBuckethead]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is

Our defense is fine.

[BeardoMSU]

Yep, being shutout in the second half is all on the QB, and not the coach who coaches him, or the coach that schemes him, or the coach that calls the plays.

Nope, just the sophomore kid. All on him.

Some of you have lost your ****ing minds, lol.

[vv83]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is

Our D is average our QB is below average and our O is horrendous

[R2Dawg]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is

No they are not good enough to support a Leach air raid suck O. I agree. We need an NFL D for that.

[vv83]

Yep, being shutout in the second half is all on the QB, and not the coach who coaches him, or the coach that schemes him, or the coach that calls the plays.

Nope, just the sophomore kid. All on him.

Some of you have lost your ****ing minds, lol.

Man I usually like your takes but you need to sit this one out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Looks like we are going to start throwing that 7 yarder finally.

[No BS Dawg]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is
The same is true x10 for this joke of an offense. Only reason we still have a chance is the defense.

[ShotgunDawg]

Polk almost with the stupid man of the year there

[BeardoMSU]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is

OMG....now you're blaming the D.....


Does Leach launder money through your church tithes or something? Holy cow.

[RocketDawg]

Well when they start on our 35, can't blame them much

That 15 yard personal foul was to blame for that.

[ShotgunDawg]

Sheesh Rogers

[BeardoMSU]

Man I usually like your takes but you need to sit this one out.

Look, I'm not saying the QB doesn't deserve blame. He does. But the story goes deeper than that.

[preachermatt83]

Another bad pass by will

[ShotgunDawg]

Our QB can't move

[KOdawg1]

We're done. 17 this offense.

[msudawg1200]

Rogers is pretty damn bad

[magrooder]

Un ****IN believable

[maroonmania]

We downed the ball!

[ShotgunDawg]

That's bullshit. We downed it

[vindastra]

WTF

[RocketDawg]

Was that for real?

[BeardoMSU]

haven't seen that one before, lol.

The official definitely blew it dead tho.

[magrooder]

The official was calling the play dead. Should NOT be a touchdown

[KOdawg1]

THE OFFICIAL WAVED HIS HANDS

[Statecoachingblows**]

What?

[RocketDawg]

That's bullshit. We downed it

Yeah, I think so too. Definitely. Terrible call.

[maroonmania]

We touched the ball and downed it and ref blew it dead. That is bullshit.

[magrooder]

That is BULLSHIT

[Big4Dawg]

I ****ing quit. wtf is going on

[BayouDawg]

This whole team is mentally retarded

[Maroonthirteen]

Shotgun to blame Rogers for that dip shit stupid stuff.

[Quaoarsking]

This game has an asterisk by it.

[HoopsDawg]

How do our coaches not go crazy there?

[BeardoMSU]

wtf?!?

Did they not even look at that?

I guess just the sport's Gods really letting us know how they feel, lol.

[maroonmania]

THAT was not LEGAL. We put our hand on the ball and downed it. BS

[BayouDawg]

We just got hosed

[PGHBulldogBG]

I?m so glad we hired Leach over Clawson

[KOdawg1]

And Mike Leach is so 17ing clueless that he doesn't even know to argue it

[preachermatt83]

Worst officiating call. Was downed

[Quaoarsking]

Leach should pull the team off the field.

[RocketDawg]

These are SEC officials. They should be fired. Terrible call.

[maroonmania]

SEC officials are TRASH!!!!

[BulldogBear]

This is BS

[Quaoarsking]

We'll get an apology from the conference Monday, but it's bullshit.

[Joebob]

Now that's something I can't forgive Leach for. He HAS to ask for a review on that play.

[WSOPdawg]

do coaches not have challenge flags this year?

[maroonmania]

Ball is loose, we put our hand on it and down it, the ref is calling the play dead yet the TD is allowed!

[Bothrops]

Will Rogers will sink the pirate ship

[preachermatt83]

Why did we not have someone throwing a fit

[BeardoMSU]

I guess this is the same expression that Mike shows from his barstool in the Keyes?

[HoopsDawg]

Our defense is not nearly as good as a lot of you all want to think it is

our defense has given up 14 points to a great offense. Horrible take.

[MoreCowbell]

How do we not have someone in the booth upstairs telling Leach to review it

[Quaoarsking]

Now that's something I can't forgive Leach for. He HAS to ask for a review on that play.

It is reviewable? I've never seen that before.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Leach proved right there he is here to collect a paycheck and retire

[BulldogBear]

Cabbage Patch should be gone if for no other reason than the fact he has not been ejected.

[msudawg1200]

That shit was bad. Like fireable bad. Our coaches not going ape shit crazy might be worse.

[HoopsDawg]

I guess this is the same expression that Mike shows from his barstool in the Keyes?

Please Mike take the bag full of money we gave you and take your ass to Key West.

[Matt3467]

How do we not have someone in the booth upstairs telling Leach to review it

Too many questions. How come our players aren't out there arguing it either? We just let them get away with it.

[preachermatt83]

Why do we have Johnson out there. The kid is injured.

[bobtail bob]

We need to put some distance between us on the scoreboard. These refs have screw up written all over them. Don?t need to give them any chance at the end



I posted this at 4 pm

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm floored by that call. How is that not reviewed?

[preachermatt83]

our defense has given up 14 points to a great offense. Horrible take.

You think Memphis has a “great” offense!? Lol

[HoopsDawg]

No way Saban let's that happen without having a stroke.

[BeardoMSU]

Didn't hike the ball until the 11 second mark, but I guess that's on the QB.**

[BayouDawg]

I thought the ball was dead once we touched it?

[bobtail bob]

Call the play at the line dumbass

[Matt3467]

Plays taking way too long

[smootness]

Nobody ever possessed it. We touched it, which means the worst possible outcome for Memphis is their ball where we touch it. But it's not down until someone possesses it, and we didn't. Brilliant play by the Memphis kid, ridiculously bad from us.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Johnson the only one that wants it.

[preachermatt83]

Why is there no urgency???

[SailingDawg]

Time for a La Tech comeback.

And Johnson just ran for 14.

[HoopsDawg]

You think Memphis has a “great” offense!? Lol

You blaming our D is one of the dumbest takes I've seen on this board. They came into this game number 1 in the country in total offense. Our D has given up 14 points. Quit posting.

[BeardoMSU]

You think Memphis has a “great” offense!? Lol

They held them to 14 ****ing points despite being on the field a shit ton in the second half. My god, dude.

[ShotgunDawg]

Are we leading now?

[Lord McBuckethead]

We should be in the lead here.

[RocketDawg]

On side kick now?

[magrooder]

Offensive line is a cluster

[Lord McBuckethead]

Our fat guy is sitting there laying in a dude.

[BeardoMSU]

Why is there no urgency???

Just need a better QB.**

[maroonmania]

SEC refs has totally 100% decided this game.

[ShotgunDawg]

We witnessed one of the worst calls of all time in this game

[Lord McBuckethead]

You have the guy on the carpet. No need to sit on him.

[Matt3467]

Lol

[BulldogBear]

No awareness

[Quaoarsking]

Are we leading now?

No, because the SEC fuсked us.

[preachermatt83]

Will Rogers is awful. Period

[ShotgunDawg]

Look at that athlete we have at QB

[maroonmania]

Yea, just keep holding the ball Will, just keep holding it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We witnessed one of the worst calls of all time in this game

When we win this game, I will chip in for Leach to rail on the refs during the post game.

[bobtail bob]

That’s a horse shit holding call

[ShotgunDawg]

Will Rogers is awful. Period

He's terrible. The offense makes his stats look good when he's terrible

[RocketDawg]

SEC refs has totally 100% decided this game.

They probably really hated to see us score so they could claim the blown call didn't matter.

[maroonmania]

We witnessed one of the worst calls of all time in this game

Could we not have forced a review?

[Bothrops]

Thinking about cocktails, hammocks, iguanas, and the smell of...I made it.

[magrooder]

They probably really hated to see us score so they could claim the blown call didn't matter.

They will NEVER admit it was a blown call

[PCHSDawg]

Rogers is sooooo slow.

[preachermatt83]

You blaming our D is one of the dumbest takes I've seen on this board. They came into this game number 1 in the country in total offense. Our D has given up 14 points. Quit posting.

You wanna take a guess at where their offense finishes genius? They have played Nichols and arky state. Give me a break.

[ShotgunDawg]

How did the ref that blew the play dead not say something?

[BulldogBear]

We witnessed one of the worst calls of all time in this game

Yeah, they tried to explain it off that the ball was tipped or something. WTF?

[BeardoMSU]

Nobody ever possessed it. We touched it, which means the worst possible outcome for Memphis is their ball where we touch it. But it's not down until someone possesses it, and we didn't. Brilliant play by the Memphis kid, ridiculously bad from us.

The ref was calling it dead, though. He had his whistle in his mouth and was waiving his arms.

What you said is true, but the play was dead right there. How they didn't come together and fix that is egregious.

[ShotgunDawg]

Could we not have forced a review?

IDK. Surely could've called timeout.

[msudawg1200]

Nobody ever possessed it. We touched it, which means the worst possible outcome for Memphis is their ball where we touch it. But it's not down until someone possesses it, and we didn't. Brilliant play by the Memphis kid, ridiculously bad from us.

You are always taught on a punt to pick it up and give it to the ref. Never just put a hand on it and leave like we did.

[preachermatt83]

He's terrible. The offense makes his stats look good when he's terrible

This all day. Put an average ab out there snd we win this game by 20

[SailingDawg]

I thought the ball was dead once we touched it?

You and me both. The tv announcers said one of the officials was waving his arms.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah, they tried to explain it off that the ball was tipped or something. WTF?

https://twitter.com/BWalkerSEC/status/1439366718783115268?s=20

[bobtail bob]

Send them a strongly worded letter Cohen, that has always worked in the past

[Joebob]

You wanna take a guess at where their offense finishes genius? They have played Nichols and arky state. Give me a break.

I'll take 14 points given up by the defense any game of the year. Not sure what planet you're living on.

[BulldogBear]

Hot Dam!!!

17 Memphis's protest. They got a free TD.

[RocketDawg]

Not sure the ball went 10 yards.

After slo mo, it went 10. They'll probably call against us though.

[KOdawg1]

WHAT?! REVIEW IT

[magrooder]

That is a bad ****ing call. We got that ball after it crossed ten yards

[HoopsDawg]

WTF SEC officials?

[ShotgunDawg]

Another 17 up

[BeardoMSU]

You wanna take a guess at where their offense finishes genius? They have played Nichols and arky state. Give me a break.

Lol, doubling and tripling down. For the love of God, why?

[Quaoarsking]

The refs owe us one back.

[TNDawg35]

This offense will Never truly work to It’s potential with Will Rogers running it. No scramble threat and can’t hit any kind of deep ball. Just make him dump everything short and you got it made…

[maroonmania]

These refs should be fired immediately!

[BulldogBear]

They better overturn this. They 17 better. If not, I want to see Leach get ejected.

[SailingDawg]

Once again the refs make a call and change their mind on the field.

[HoopsDawg]

They will NEVER admit it was a blown call

The official was definitely waiving it dead, but WTF was Emerson doing?

[BeardoMSU]

Definitely went 10 yards.

[preachermatt83]

How is this even a question?

[RocketDawg]

You and me both. The tv announcers said one of the officials was waving his arms.

The replay also showed him waving his arms and dropping the marker.

[HoopsDawg]

This is an easy review and an easy overturn. What is taking so long?

[Joebob]

Those kinds of coaching mistakes is what turned me against Mullen, and now Leach has done one. Some things are just inexcusable.

[bobtail bob]

That that ball got batted back . That’s our football

[maroonmania]

This should take 5 seconds to review!

[BayouDawg]

They gonna say not conclusive evidence

[HoopsDawg]

What? They just found a penalty on a review that they didn't call???

[BeardoMSU]

OMG...and they add an illegal block, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

These are the worst officials ever. How can you review a penalty?

[RocketDawg]

We got scrod anyway.

[HoopsDawg]

I didn't know you could call a penalty on a review?

[BeardoMSU]

WTF is going on here?

[Quaoarsking]

THIS GAME DOESN'T COUNT.

The refs absolutely fuсked us twice.

[BulldogBear]

WTF? There was no flag thrown.

[RocketDawg]

This offciating team should be jobless come Monday.

[magrooder]

These officials and whomever is doing the reviews should all be fired and fined

[HoopsDawg]

Peters missed it.

[BeardoMSU]

And Memphis tried to mush brain the shit again, lol. **** us, though.

[KOdawg1]

The refs have single handedly 17ed us

[BulldogBear]

This game fixed.

So they reviewed the play. Realized they had to give us the ball. And so decided to call a penalty that wasnt called on the play.

[BayouDawg]

**** this

[BeardoMSU]

THIS GAME DOESN'T COUNT.

The refs absolutely fuсked us twice.

This is real life. It counts.

[preachermatt83]

This sucks

[ShotgunDawg]

Somebody on this officiating create has to be fired today

[KOdawg1]

OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[MoreCowbell]

We are getting so screwed

[preachermatt83]

Mullins is showing again how we got shafted

[RocketDawg]

Beth's crew found another infraction on Memphis.

Can you protest a game?

[Quaoarsking]

This is real life. It counts.

Oklahoma State doesn't recognize their loss to Central Michigan from a couple years ago because the refs indisputably blew it. There's precedent.

[Matt3467]

This has a 2018 Bama feeling to it. No matter what we do the officiating is against us.

[msudawg1200]

The SEC will issue a letter that mistakes were made and the refs have been reprimanded with a warning

[SailingDawg]

Somebody on this officiating create has to be fired today

They won't. No one is allowed to criticize officiating.

[smootness]

https://twitter.com/BWalkerSEC/status/1439366718783115268?s=20

Genuinely, that is a very misleading photo. Because watch it back, he literally slapped the ball, his fingers were on it for a split second, he didn't grab the ball or even hold it there for any time at all. If we'd been on the Memphis end and they had blown it dead, we'd be livid.

[magrooder]

They won't. No one is allowed to criticize officiating.

If I was making 5 million a year you could fine me, but I'm calling all that shit out.

[KOdawg1]

Of course, they nail it

[BulldogBear]

We should've never kicked onside the second time anyway.

[maroonmania]

Due to the officiating I don't even feel like this is a real game.

[RocketDawg]

Still have a slim chance.

[SailingDawg]

We should've never kicked onside the second time anyway.

Correct.

[KOdawg1]

We're gonna score a TD and not get the 2 pt conversion. I've seen this movie before

[Quaoarsking]

Due to the officiating I don't even feel like this is a real game.

It's a joke. 2-1*

[HoopsDawg]

If the officials don't make the incorrect call on the onside kick does it even get reviewed by the booth to find the penalty that wasn't called on the field?

[KOdawg1]

Why tf don't we run this offense all the time?

[RocketDawg]

This has a 2018 Bama feeling to it. No matter what we do the officiating is against us.

This is really worse other than the fact that was Alabama and this is Memphis State.

[HoopsDawg]

We're gonna score a TD and not get the 2 pt conversion. I've seen this movie before

Really dumb to go for 2 after the holding penalty.

[ShotgunDawg]

Did we win again?

[BulldogBear]

See what happens you throw downfield.

[RocketDawg]

Gotta get that 2 pointer now.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Boom

[BeardoMSU]

Will waited, lol.

[HoopsDawg]

WTF Rogers? You have to throw the ball!!

[ShotgunDawg]

He sucks. He just can't make a play

[BayouDawg]

As irritated as I get with this team. They dont quit.

[BulldogBear]

That's why a pass only offense sucks.

[Matt3467]

WTF Rogers? You have to throw the ball!!

He had the space to run but he hesitated again...

[RocketDawg]

Another on-side kick now.

[BeardoMSU]

The 5 wide Dak/Fitz draw up the middle would've been money right there.

[preachermatt83]

Sickening

[RocketDawg]

As irritated as I get with this team. They dont quit.

Yep.

[msudawg1200]

He had the space to run but he hesitated again...

And he's as slow as my 50 year old ass. He's got to run a 5.2 or 5,3

[Activated Alpha]

Sorry, but I still blame all this on Leach and the refs. They need to be publicly called out

[RougeDawg]

Why tf don't we run this offense all the time?

This all day. The offense can stretch the field when they have to.

This entire game and our offensive woes are strictly on check down Charlie Rogers. He is the problem. I have him a long leash but it?s apparent his decision making is the difference. When he has to force it he can. He just does not do it. Plain and simple.

[SilentSteel16]

Shotgun, you are a moron…..accept it, sawyer Robinson is not ready, will is the best option.

[KOdawg1]

I'm done.

[TNDawg35]

He had the space to run but he hesitated again...

Go back and look at it, if he hits Johnson as soon as Johnson left the backfield, Dylan WALKS INTO THE ENDZONE!!!

[PMDawg]

We just lost to a really bad team. This is Leach's Maine. Unfortunately, it won't be his last Maine.

[R2Dawg]

https://twitter.com/BWalkerSEC/status/1439366718783115268?s=20

We downed ball with knee down, ref called dead ball. Refs stole it from us even though we didn't play well.

[Fader21]

I'm done.

See you next week

[magrooder]

Leach should be running at Leach beach this week

[BeardoMSU]

As irritated as I get with this team. They dont quit.

They don't. I hate that it had to come to this though. Until shit got bad, we were being shut out in the 2nd half by this team of scrubs. This loss goes well beyond the refs ****ing us. Don't get me wrong; the refs certainly ****ed us, in ways I didn't think was possible....but we set the stage.

[KOdawg1]

See you next week

Nope.

[msudawg1200]

We should have won easily, but why did we schedule this game again. Not a damn thing to gain. Nothing.

[CaptainObvious]

Out coached!

[TNDawg35]

Sorry, but I still blame all this on Leach and the refs. They need to be publicly called out

Leach can’t make Will Rogers throw the ball downfield instead of hitting a 2 yard pass every ****ing play. This is on Will. You saw what it does when he throws it downfield on the last drive…

[PGHBulldogBG]

Out coached!

Cohen made the mistake in 2018 not hiring Neal Brown. This is why we are where we are

[BuckyIsAB****]

That was bush league ass officiating and they should be fired. Leach should be fired if he doesn?t raise hell

[Dawg_Lover]

This game fixed.

So they reviewed the play. Realized they had to give us the ball. And so decided to call a penalty that wasnt called on the play.


I believe this is a real possibility. Too much obvious evidence, on film, for officials to justify calling against us .... yet, they did. In this case, IMHO, money under the table overruled integrity.

[IMissJack]

Keenum, Cohen , Leach leadership when it matters***

[BuckyIsAB****]

All yall wanting Will to run the ball? That?s why. They are waiting on him. Leach is the worst short yardage coach in America right now.

[msudawg1200]

We can blame the refs, and they were terrible, but we should've won this game 38-7. We had the ball on the 3 damn yard line and threw four straight damn passes. Then, even though the D mostly played well, the D gives up a 98 yard TD drive. WE lost this game.

[BuckyIsAB****]

He sucks. He just can't make a play

Nah dude. You suck. You are a message board talent evaluator.

[Quaoarsking]

We just lost to a really bad team. This is Leach's Maine. Unfortunately, it won't be his last Maine.

What kind of bullshit is this post? Maine was a bad FCS team. Memphis is consistently one of the top G5 teams.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Leach has to change for short yardage. He has to.

[DeltaChicagoDog]

Sorry, but I still blame all this on Leach and the refs. They need to be publicly called out

This. This. This.
Were Leach and the booth watching or communicating at all during that whole turn of events?

[BayouDawg]

They don't. I hate that it had to come to this though. Until shit got bad, we were being shut out in the 2nd half by this team of scrubs. This loss goes well beyond the refs ****ing us. Don't get me wrong; the refs certainly ****ed us, in ways I didn't think was possible....but we set the stage.

Yep letting a team hang around will come back to bite you. Would have thought the players and coaches learned their lessons after the tech game. But apparently not

[bulldawg28]

What kind of bullshit is this post? Maine was a bad FCS team. Memphis is consistently one of the top G5 teams.

No SEC school should lose to Memphis.

[HancockCountyDog]

Inexcusable loss.

Game should have never been close to be stolen from us.

It was 17-7 and we had a chance to put them away, we got cute, and lost.

[Matt3467]

All yall wanting Will to run the ball? That?s why. They are waiting on him. Leach is the worst short yardage coach in America right now.

The problem is Will taking way to long to make a decision. If he runs without hesitating I think he scores. Same thing last week there were times he could run and score but he thinks way too much.

[Quaoarsking]

No SEC school should lose to Memphis.

Maybe not (although SEC schools lose to good G5 programs every year), but that doesn't make it equivalent to Maine.

[Rahdawg]

The sad issue is we have the talent to win.
We are undisciplined and Leach has no imagination on offense. This season will be Croom 2.0
And we are paying 5,000,000 for this. Hire Arnett interim tomorrow

[CaptainObvious]

Or he could have done what the color commentator said right before the two point try. The color commentator said ? look for Johnson late out of the backfield?. Guess who was wide open for a walk in? 23.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The problem is Will taking way to long to make a decision. If he runs without hesitating I think he scores. Same thing last week there were times he could run and score but he thinks way too much.

There is absolutely no one open and 2 players waiting on him at the goal line. Are yall blind??? He did what he had to do

[NCMSTFAN]

The refs beat us today... but the game should have never been this close. Memphis isn't good at all. And we aren't either. Leach doesn't really seem to care much either, I'm definitely not impressed. From what we ha e seen so far, he is worse than Moorhead

[Cowbell]

That was bush league ass officiating and they should be fired. Leach should be fired if he doesn?t raise hell
The first three words of your last sentence should suffice

[BuckyIsAB****]

Leaches biggest problem is short yardage

[BuckyIsAB****]

The first three words of your last sentence should suffice

Naw. He needs to change his short yardage offense and I believe that 2 players with the same number on is a challengeable rule

[PendingTransaction]

Just wait until Leach gets his players!!

[Bdawg]

So if we kick that field goal instead of being cute, we are up 20-7 and don't lose momentum. Could have used those at the end of the game. Blame Leach for that. #10 did drop a TD pass though on that possession. Will is really limiting us though. It what it is. Don't know if I've seen 2 worse calls in a game. Official waves his hand to stop the play and onside kick goes to a review and finds a penalty that wasn't called on the field. Never in my life. I guess Bama ref throwing his hat and picking it up is close.

[IMissJack]

No SEC school should lose to Memphis.
Right now, we are about like a MAC.

[Matt3467]

There is absolutely no one open and 2 players waiting on him at the goal line. Are yall blind??? He did what he had to do

What i saw was two backers split wide enough for Rogers to run it in if he didn't hesitate. Rogers acted like he wanted to run then turn back like he was going to pass then looked like he had no clue what to do before he decided to run. At that point yes he should just thrown it up. The dude has no legs at all but that gap was wide enough I believe for him to at the very least be tackled at the goal line.

[Matt3467]

So if we kick that field goal instead of being cute, we are up 20-7 and don't lose momentum. Could have used those at the end of the game.

Yea should've kicked the fg there and also im left scratching my head why we went for the two point conversion after the penalty. Those decisions really haunted us. Ref officiating aside

[TNDawg35]

There is absolutely no one open and 2 players waiting on him at the goal line. Are yall blind??? He did what he had to do

Go back and look at it. If he hits him right when DJ hits the flat, DJ walks in. That is if Rogers didn?t throw it over his head or at his feet.

[Matt3467]

I've never seen a punt return like that in my life and I've never seen a penalty come about from a reviewed play that didn't even have a flag thrown. Unbelievable.

The most frustrating part is that I really believed Leach took our job because he wanted to prove his offense would work in the SEC. I will be honest I wasn?t a believer in it but I gave the guy credit for wanting to try. I truly believed he cared. I criticized him but said he deserved 3 years. It?s just extremely disappointing to see his reactions today prove that I was wrong and he doesn?t care. He is clearly collecting a paycheck to retiring and this should be an instant fire. The team has heart for trying to come back and people bashing Will need to stop. This team doesn?t give up and I respect that but it?s not because of leach it?s because of our players. Now fire this clown and go get a real coach that believes in these kids because we have the potential to be really good next year if we do

Anybody going to listen to the post-game? It'll be interesting to see what Leach has to say.

If they reviewed the punt return they may have caught the players with the same number. Not sure if it's challengeable but if it is there's no excuse for Leach there. There's also no excuse for not having something called for the conversion that looked better than that shit play.

I've never seen a punt return like that in my life and I've never seen a penalty come about from a reviewed play that didn't even have a flag thrown. Unbelievable.

The more I think about it, them going back and adding the penalty to the onside review is the worst...because they knew they got it wrong, but they wanted to make sure we knew they wanted us to lose. I've bitched about refs before, as have you all, but this shit was on another level....just insanity.

That being said, it also pisses me off we can't entirely blame the refs for tonight. Making a shitty night shittier, lol.

Cheers, y'all. Let the bourbon flow...

Or he could have done what the color commentator said right before the two point try. The color commentator said ? look for Johnson late out of the backfield?. Guess who was wide open for a walk in? 23.

I didn't see it on the overhead replay unless I missed something. Looked like everyone was covered and slot receiver on the right side just stood there.

I just don't understand why that puss of a back judge didn't run in and tell the other officials that he waived the play dead.

That's why you need wrinkles in the offense. I said it after the 2 pt try failed. The Mullen play of sending everyone out wide, and having the QB draw up the middle with the OL 1-on-1 would've scored there.

Instead, Will waited for guys to get open in tight coverage (which is expected), and broke on the run too late.

Yes-Should have kicked FG, yes, I believe they went 90 yds and scored after getting ball.

Yes- Leach should have pressed the issue on the punt return and the make up penalty on on side kick, not sure of rules either way there but the ball looked down and ref was waving arms, the blue beanbag I thought meant lose ball and not DEAD could be wrong, but again don’t know rules there, the guy waving his arms never blew his whistle, just something to chew on.

Yes- Rogers hesitated at the end BUT he is not the reason we lost.

Yes- We should have never had such a close game or let them hang around, it seems like we generally take the 3rd quarter off on offense, place blame wherever there

NO- Rogers does not suck, he is clearly the best option we have. Does he hesitate at time yes, does he check down too quick at time, yes. BUT HE DOES NOT SUCK, he is young and performing very dang good for a 19 yr old kid

NO- despite all of Shotguns rants, SAWYER is not better or ready at this time, next year who knows, but today, NO.

Get over it, the refs screwed us but this game is entirely on us, we went soft in 3rd quarter again, if our offense consistently plays like they do in the final 4 minutes of game we would be blowing everyone out.

Agree with everything posted here. Unfortunately we have a head coach that let this all happen and doesn?t care. It?s really disappointing. We now have two coaches leach and Howland here to do the bare minimum to keep jobs before retiring.

How has Howland in any way done the bare minimum? He took over one of the worst men's basketball programs in the country and made it respectable.

Sad part on the final 2 point play is that if Will had looked to his left, the RB in the flat was running totally wide open. But Will never looked that direction.

[Percho]

All yall wanting Will to run the ball? That?s why. They are waiting on him. Leach is the worst short yardage coach in America right now.

I agree with you and 11 should have caught the fade.
