  1. It would be nice to see them in the same backfield for more than 2 plays a game. However, Flanigan uses his fullbacks strictly as blockers. I just don't see JT or PC being used as a lead blocker. Pass blocking may be a different story, but then how many teams would be tipped off if JT & PC are in teh backfield and all we ever do is playaction?

  2. We don't have the BETTER team. We have the more talented team and Andy can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory 90% of the time.

    I would say you guys have more talented DT's without a doubt. MTSU having more talent across the board is questionable.

  3. No, it was the same green as last year.  They didn't have time to change the green for this season before the order was due so it will be next year when we get the new color on the unis. 

    I like the new logo font better than the script.  And I was afraid they were going to make the Texas smaller then North as in the decals they gave out with the season tickets.  I'm glad they kept the words the same size and just offset them.  It could be larger to be more visable from a distance, and better yet would be just a NT on them!  cool.gif

    The helmets looked a little lighter and less metallic. Oh well, it was probably the lighting. biggrin.gif

  4. Opinions on Defense:

    I was impressed with the D's toughness. They got punched in the mouth but stayed in close and dealt a few punches of their own. The D was on the field for most of the game and turned the Big Mo in NT's favor late. They stopped MTSU when it counted. Something this D could not do against good opponents a year ago. Still, they are little undersized.

    Opinions on Offense:

    The offense was very disappointing. Super J needs more carries to build up his feel for the game. 10 carries spread over 4 qtrs is not enough to get him rolling, IMO. Patrick is helluva player and is a threat as a receiver. MTSU's interior D-line destroyed NT. Jeff Littlejohn is a monster up front. He was blowing the center off the ball and beating him down like hammer at the point of attack. I hope this was just a case of JLJ jut being a superior talnt, because our guy was getting killed.

    In all, I felt NT was a little lucky to come away with a win. Meager did exactly what Dickey expects his QB to do and I commend the young man for being tough in his first start.

  5. for us non-betters or just clueless people, can someone explain the spread?

    MTSU -4

    This means Middle Tennessee has to win by MORE than 4 points for MTSU bettors to win. If they win by exactly 4, it's a push.

    As for the lines that involve half points, that's just Vegas' way of avoiding the push. It's alse an effective way of enticing bettors to throw a little extra money down by purchasing what is known as a "hook".

    For example, Eastern Michigan is favored by 4.5. A bettor who is on EMU might decide to buy a hook for $XX to push the line to -4. This way, he/she has lowered their chances of a flat out loss.
