Game Thread, Anyone?

Not much to say. Our defense has come up with a big play intercepting Marks, but otherwise the team as a whole looks lost.

Offense looks awful.

7-0 MTSU.

Time to get it together.

Our defense has been on the field too long. They are looking tired early. I have a huge problem with the way our D is playing the option. Hit the damn QB! Make the sucker scared to come around that corner. WHo gives a crap if he pitches it, lay his a$$ out!

Looks like we're really missing that LSU game right about now.

Ouch. Big stop by MT on 4th and 1.

Defense has to step up on this drive.

[jgb0607]

Decline the penalty!!???? WTF? It would have been 2nd and 26!

[Monkeypox]

D-Line's getting consistently blown off the line.

I agree, though, they've been on the field too long.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Are yall enjoying watching the Blue Raider offense?

[jgb0607]

Ditto on the option. Nail the QB every time and make him pitch it.

[CMJ]

Not liking the way this is sounding. Our defense has come up with acouple of huge plays but for the most part they've been pushed around.

Offensively we've had some flashes. Hopefully we can regroup at the half.

[Monkeypox]

Another HUGE play from the defense. Time for the offense to help them out.

[jgb0607]

FUMBLE!!!!!! We got beat on a cross again and got lucky!!!! Ha

[akriesman]

I like the way Meager throws the ball, but he sure could have used a game under his belt before this one.

I think this team will be pretty darn good, but these first few games could be pretty tough.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Much needed fumble recovery!

Hey! Put Cobbs and Thomas in at the same time and just make the BR's guess all night long.

[PlummMeanGreen]

CLOCK MANAGEMENT TIME!

I don't like the way he's throwing it today.

[jgb0607]

Where the hell is Thomas? He has like 2 carries

[jgb0607]

Cobbs looks like Larry Centers today. Why spike it with 40 ticks left?

[Monkeypox]

WTF was that playcalling?!

[PlummMeanGreen]

We are lucky to be only 1 touchdown behind in this game thus far.

Don't we receive the kick-off to begin the 2'nd half?

We've been lucky on D, alot. It could easily 21-0(announcer just sed that)

Try and ice Baz, that will really work . LOL

Between the playcalling and Meager's rookie jitters, yes we're lucky.

Hopefully Baz will hit it.

[akriesman]

I don't like the way he's throwing it today.

He seems poised enough for a first game.

But, he sure telegraphs his passes right now.

With a little confidence and clock management skills, I think he will be pretty good.

Yeah. By my count it could be as much as 24-0. Two turnovers and the missed fg.

Sad, sad 1st half for this team. We really need the veteran presence to step up.

[jgb0607]

Once again Dickey proves how boring his playcalling is.

Put PC and JT in the backfield and make em guess.

How about a fake to PC and pitch to get JT outside? Or a PA pass?

I did like throwing on our 1st play and tossing to PC out of the backfield.

Once again, JT needs alot more touches.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Isn't this about what we thought we might see with this defensive line? We've had one major grade casualty, almost one heat stroke and just about everything to affect our DL plus its quite young.

So far or DL has given MT some semblance of a running game they didn't have last week against a better Bama defense. You have to give credit to MT's offensive line and their experience is proving to be a big plus.

I was afraid this spread out MT offense would get some good yards but for the 2'nd half as long as our "D" bends and not break, it might give our offense a chance to get some kind of rhythm going.

So far I don't think Cobbs in/Thomas out----Cobbs out/Thomas in is going to get the necessary kind of rhythm going that any RB needs and cannot get if he is out half the game. Just my .02...

PS NT Athletics did a great job of keeping secret the fact that receiver Johnny Quinn has been sick as a dog all week long with what the announcer said may have been food poisoning or some kind of intense virus.

Said it months ago, but this team needs about 4 or 5 games to get comfortable with each other. They are just not a unit yet.

Tulsa will be a hard game based on tonights game BUT...................lets see what happens in the 2'nd half vs MT!
