Just remember, it was Troy. They have a horrible defense......

[Goat Holder]

If Dak shows out vs. LSU, I'll be a believer. But not until then. This will be debated for 2 weeks I'm sure. People criticize Mullen for not beating a good team, well, Dak hasn't done it either.

He's definitely earned the right to start, though.

What good team has TR beat?

[I seen it dawg]

Thank you. Dak is the better QB at this point.

You guys act like TR isn't even a bulldog. Dak looked strong today and last week. This guy is young and still is trying to make all the plays. It will take him and hte RB's next game to get it done.

Everyone was talking about Troy's offense and how potent they are. We shut them down and did exactly what any SEC team should do to them. We were coming off a terrible loss and rebounded. We did exactly what we needed to do today. Hell we even went vertical. Gives LSU something to look at.

[maroonmania]

You are definitely correct. At one point during the game thread I said that the Troy defense looked every bit as bad as Alcorn. Remember the Ark St team that lost to Memphis tonight 31-7 put 41 points on them.

You would rather Dak fail and us lose than to admit that Tyler just isn't the right fit. I don't give a shit if Dak beats LsU...that doesn't make Tyler the better QB for us. Nothing can be done that will make TR the better QB for a Mullen offense, and I think it's sad that you could post something questioning Dak when he has been the only positive for our football team in the last 10 games for the most part. Are you that worried about being right or wrong on the QB issue? Because personally, I would rather Russell prove me wrong and us win games...but after over 2 seasons, it is not looking like that's going to happen. Not his fault, just not a good offense for him.

[gravedigger]

A men. Doesn't matter if we lose to lsu. Our offense is what it should be with dak.

Don't care who we have or haven't beaten. This is obvious. Dan is gaming lsu. Tyler should play against them. But it should be daks job to lose.

[Saltydog]

him throw the ball and our WR's won't be open like they were tonight.

[SignalToNoise]

him throw the ball and our WR's won't be open like they were tonight.

Then Tyler will be useless against them as well.

[blacklistedbully]

Start Tyler, play Dak. I have no problem "starting" Tyler, as long as Dak gets as many first team practice reps as he needs over the next 2 weeks, so he is ready to do most of the actual playing.

[CadaverDawg]

Exactly!!! Thank you!!

What people don't realize is that our WR's have a BETTER chance at getting open with Dak in the game because we actually have a threat at play action passes.

I swear their are people in our fan base that would rather Dak fail than to admit that TR just isn't the best fit for our offense to be successful. What is so hard to understand? Our offense has 10 times the capability when we have a run threat at QB.

[CadaverDawg]

I disagree. Start Dak, play Dak. It's what has been working...why go away from what is working?

Agreed they aren't good. However, how many times have we laid an egg against a team like that ? Well too often unfortunately. Enjoy the W and pray we stay healthy. Lsu will be in a big time lull when they come here.

[blacklistedbully]

I think you misunderstand me. What I mean is, if Mullen is gonna put Tyler in there for our first snap that's fine by me, as long as he's ready to put DAK in right away, and has given Dak all he needs in prep work to be the real QB in our game. I was certainly not suggesting we should start TR.

Yep...and they weren't any good last year either, but we didn't hang 60 on them...

dead on

Dakota makes the D respect the run- Tyler at QB make the defense cover the pass and only put 4 upfront to stop the run

Dak is a stud, just except it. LSU would love to have him right now.

[PassInterference]

The awesome news here is that we have now faced two prolific high tempo, high scoring offenses and we shut both of them down.

[Goat Holder]

You are stupid if you believe that.

[Goat Holder]

Our offense is what it should be with dak.

Our offense should be whatever it needs to be to score more points than the other team. I don't know if Dak is the answer, I hope he is, but he struggled to do that at Auburn.
