I can agree with this. The penalties are inexcusable, not picking off that Hail Mary is inexcusable.

Back from the game with 4 things:
1. Fluff is a MO-FO!
2. We are an average offensive line away from putting up 10 or 20 more a game. Horrific pass protection and not many open holes in the running game.
3. Run D is a LOT better than we thought it was going to be (they were gassed late in the game). Pass D is what we thought it was going to be. USM and Ariz. St. had athletes playing QB, NIU had multiple guys open deep last week and QB couldn't hit them. He did hit one for what would have been a TD but dude bobbled it backwards for an int. Thank you Heupel for trying to run the ball so much. You would have scored 70 going 80/20 pass run.
4. Fluff is a MO-FO! Worth saying twice.
If any of you think KT is going to do better then Shapen?..well, you bitches are going to really bitch when he gets pressured or a disguised coverage confuses the feck out of him. He played at Noxubee High last year. Do you really think he?s ready for SEC defenses coached by SEC/ D1 DCs?..seriously? That?s why you guys are on message boards and are not coaching at any level of college football. He?s not ready for a LOT of reasons!
Folks we shouldn't have been in this game tonight. This was an exceptional effort by the team. Mistakes are part of who we are.
Again?.if he was remotely ready, don?t you think the HC/OC would know from his experience in D1 football. My God?.you guys are really 17ing oblivious!
Exactly Todd! If we don?t miss a fg or Thompson doesn?t drop a TD pass in the bread basket, guess what. We would be celebrating a W! Shapen is not perfect, but the dude throws a great deep ball, and we ran the ball tonight vs a much more talented defense that we have faced this year. We should have won this game! Don?t go after Shapen though, bc KT would not have done ANY better!
We need a big wr for possession plays and in the red zone; it would also give Shapen a security blanket. The little guys are good in the open, but they aren’t going to body up defenders and outmuscle them for the ball in tight situations.
Yeah. Because QB's "taking lumps" has worked so well for us in the past. I remember when we did that with Dak- oh wait no we didn't.
KT can't read a defense period. Not as well as Shapen at this point. Shapen gives us a much better chance to win. Yes, Shapen's pocket awareness sucks. His offensive line also sucked tonight. His receivers and tight ends sucked too for the most part. His pick six was because of a TE who ****s up majorly at least once every game tipped the pass he should have caught.
Right now KT is Mike Wright with actual upside and without that stupid hat he used to wear.
KT wouldn't have done worse. Shapen spotted them 14 points and couldn't make the plays he wanted with his feet. Shapen isn't throwing anyone open and is only throwing to wide open guys. Lebby does a fabulous jobs of putting defenses into a crisis and man coverage. I honestly think KT would produce similar results with this scheme.
One thing all of yall will agree on is this. Pulliam has Punter locked up. 5 punts with a 50.6 avg.
So when a team blows coverage he has the wherewithal to take advantage of the mistake. Congrats. He is a FBS QB. No one is saying that RIGHT NOW Shapen is not the better QB. But if you are going to win 5 anyways, you are not going to the playoffs, and you have what most believe to be the QB of the future right there you take your lumps and play him. He is going to make some mistakes? Yep. Is he going to be perfect? Nope. But he will not take away anything from the offense and he gives you a legit dual threat guy.
What happened? Did we win?
We are still a work in progress. Much improved and so is our coaching stuff. Yes we made mistakes but big thing is keep recruiting and get some talent.
Positive was we didn’t quit, negative we looked really tired the last 5minutes of the regulation. Injuries played a part of us losing tonight.
doesn't make sense with where we are. We HAVE to get to a bowl this year after starting 4-0. We HAVE to be competitive in all our games and put points on the board so we can get back in the portal and recruiting game. Putting KT in there to "learn" as a true freshman doesn't get it done.
Quick question for the board. Did you see the amount of orange on the east side of DWS? It looked like a neutral site game. What are we doing with ticket sales? You want?em, we sell them to you. Way too many visitors in our house! That crap needs to stop. Don?t know how, but it needs to be addressed asap!
