Last year when thins got bad they started this true freshman at qb.
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Anthony-Alford-118664
Kid had offers from schools like Clemson, Bama, and LSU but things got disastrous. He completed less than 45% of his passes and disgruntled fans were criticizing his play, which ticked his mom off and this happened.
She ended up getting arrested at the game. Losing seasons are tough on everyone and we've been there. Putting in another true frosh this year shows they have nothing to lose. Teams with nothing to lose can be dangerous, but if you get them down their frustration can grow exponentially. Get em down early and often.

It did. Huge play and great job by Zach! Nice to have some solid depth at corner

I've been accused of clinging onto Berglund and Trussell's respective jocks because someone didn't agree with me. Funny how personal people can get if they don't agree with your OPINION on sports.Preach.
There is a certain faction on here that view any legitimate football strategy debate as a personal affront. Weird. It's like Coach Mac and his staff have 50 accounts on GMG.
So far, I've been accused of "wanting Coach Mac fired", being "disgusting", along with many other things from people who are either just plain juvenile or can't argue back with a football point.
Kinda funny.
This season has a chance to be a special one. Anything that prevents it from being so is going to frustrate the fans who really do care and don't want to settle.

No, not just you. I don't agree with you about everything, but I do think it's ridiculous why you're getting blasted.So what I say is correct, but you just don't like to hear it? Got it.
Carry on .
Any gameplan that includes intentionally getting down by 2 scores so you can "figure out what they are doing" is a completely failed game plan in my book.
But that's just me.
So would fast starts hurt our team because we wouldn't be able to "wear down the defense" by pounding our heads constantly into 8 and 9 man front early in the game? Especially on first down. We still only scored 21 offensive points yesterday.
We have this outstanding line that received as good praise as you can get from an opposing player, some dynamic receivers including chancellor and smith, and some darn good backs. Just because we are beating teams that are vastly (yes, vastly) inferior doesn't mean we should be satisfied with being down 10-0 late in the second and only putting up 21 points from our offense.
People keep saying "just win." Of course that's all that matters. But what results in an ugly, "just win" type win against La Tech could easily result in losses against teams like Rice and Tulsa. And for those who haven't seen those teams play, we should beat those teams, especially since Rice is a home game.

Exactly. Just because we are capable of getting out of these holes we are digging ourselves in doesn't mean we should keep doing it. Rice, and even Tulsa are games that it will probably be pretty tough to get ourselves out of a big hole, should we dig one.90s pot is spot on for the first halves. We continue to dig a hole for ourselves to dig out of. What would our record be if we weren't down 10-0 or 14-0 at the end of every first quarter?

Kind of hard to tell since A Johnson was being redshirted his freshman year. Really wish Abbe had been redshirted so we could have him for next year.I would say A. Johnson, Abbe close second
He played o-line in high school so that year he could've really used a redshirt year while he was cutting weight and learning how to play defensive line. But, Todd Dodge was in desperation mode so he needed Abbe.

Ohio improved to 5-2 today and Ball State improved to 7-1. They have to just be kicking themselves that they lost to us. Also, Georgia dropped their second straight game. Not a great season for those guys.
Saw someone compare our loss to Tulane and Ball State's loss to us. Big difference IMO. We outgained Tulane by over 130 yards, while Ball State was not able to outgain us (we outgained them by about 10 yards).
Regardless, our tough out of conference looks to have done a pretty good job of preparing us for this conference slate.

I don't know what 90 said that was premature. We were playing too conservative. We got one deep ball in the first half on a tremendous catch and run by Brelan, other than that we had nothing to speak of.

Have to put them right below A&M CommerceIn that case, where does UT-Tyler rank in DFW?
-
That's a really weird reference. Did he mean he'd be looking for a fight, or he'd be worried about getting tackled while undressing? Awwwkwarrrrrd....
He meant that he would be looking for Orr hiding under his jersey, because he couldn't seem to get Orr off of him all day. Twas a very weird reference.

If we can hold on we'll have a better record than TCU and SMU. Best record in the DFW has a nice ring to it.Just FYI...my Ok St Cowboys found a way to win UGLY over TCU today in the early game...hey, where is Froggy these days? OSU benched Denton's J W Walsh in the first half after a couple of terribly ugly interceptions. And OSU fumbled the ball away on about the 6...but found a way to win ugly. UNT can do the same.

Just like every conference game, we're a better team than our opponent14-10 looks much better than 0-10.

That's the second time in the last two road games where DT has stared down the defensive lineman that he threw the ball to. I completely agree that it was a stupid call, but DT needs to throw the ball at Byrd's feet instead of right in the lap of the d-lineman.

Hey Cooley, there was some talk after the injury was diagnosed for Graham that he might be back by playoffs. Do you know if that is still a possibility?
-
Dodge was injured during his senior season iirc. I'm pretty sure he missed two or three games.Not saying what will/not happen, but I dont' think Riley was ever injured in HS.
Did White puke before a game winning TD?

That usually factors in at least a little bit. White is another example of why a big year on the field could be vital for recruiting. Also for a guy like Fonzale Davis who is really drawing a lot of attention from the big boys.Let's hope we get some brownie points for being the first to offer

This could get interesting

We have a game tomorrow. You have chancellor on your mind.I completely missed that I typed chancellor. I even put president before.
Not paying attention.

Roster heightNot talking about you
And, by the way, I'm 6'7" in stripper heels. Not really a valid height.
-
I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Not talking crap about any recruits. Just stating that it's nice to have underclassmen pushing upperclassmen for starting spots. We've had upperclassmen starting by default in the past. We're seeing a lot of freshman making it hard to keep them off the field despite having experienced guys in starting positions.Love it all you want but talking crap about recruits and our recruiting standards does nothing but help hurt our program. He and OUR RECRUITS don't need your subpar high school expertise or recruiting websites to know where he needs to be. It does however, hinder hinder relationships that these parents and family members form with our staff and our university when you publicly slander them. I know as fact that our players and our recruits read this forum. Please be mindful of that as you post.
As a side note: not all offers are exposed publicly. And if you're judging strictly on film I would revise past statements on SEVERAL RECRUITED PLAYERS THREADS.
Regardless of ranking and who was offered by who, it's good seeing freshman push for playing time like John, Fred Scott, Sed Ellis, and Darvin Kidsy. That shows me that our recruiting is improving, because we have the depth where we could've redshirted the guys, but they've proven too good to keep off the field.
Southern Miss to start true freshman at QB vs North Texas

Grammar had over 100 yards rushing and over half were on pass plays were he had to scramble. Most of the scrambles were right up the middle to. He did it all game right up until Sed knocked his lid off.
