Are you talking about the celebration? I think those were make believe guns


No. JJ saw an interception which got nullified by the defensive penalty

He hurt himself on the pick-six.

If so, he tore up his thumb in the process

I wouldn't mind seeing Sawyer get a few series the rest of the way.

This one's over. Let's let get him some reps.

He keeps tossing off his back foot according to JJ. Yeah a real football team is going to roll on him.

The passes to Ketron and Trigg were all good.

Finn threw a bunch of picks last year. This isn't all that surprising. I was never convinced he was or is better than Sawyer

Someone needs to tell this color guy it's not Tarlington State.

It's not asking too much to know names of the teams your covering.

I haven't been overly impressed with his accuracy or decision-making. The athleticism is really the main selling point there.

He's going to throw some picks and fumble some on scrambles. But he can do a lot of things Sawyer can't in the run game. We're just not showing it against Tarleton tonight because there's no reason to.

He's a poor decision maker always has been. Good secondary's are going to eat him alive. His footwork is Shapen bad

He threw it into double coverage off his back foot and underthrew it by like 5 yards. That has nothing to do with "what we're showing" on offense. And it hasn't been his only head scratching pass this game. With Utah coming up in a week, there's reasons for concern, that's all I'm saying

The strength of his game is as a scrambler and playmaker. We knew that when we signed him.

He's going to make a ton of plays -- many for us and a few for the opposition.

We'll see his value once we open up the offense and let him loose.

We got the ESPN AA team. Thats the team when they went through the whole alphabet list of announcing teams rankings and started over again...

I hope you are right, clearly he's athletic but I'm not seeing what I expected. He's not a true dual threat imo, he just doesn't look like he can improvise a breakaway fast run. Too indecisive maybe?

Finn has made some really bad decisions tonight. If he does that against halfway decent teams we are toast.

Another throw that will be a pick against any opponent not named Tarlington State or whatever the announcer is calling them

Audio and video are about 15 seconds off now. Unwatchable.

The point is we're using him as a pocket passer in this game, and that's not what he is. He's a playmaker.

Once he's set free to use his legs, he'll be a better, more efficient player.

Opening up the offense has zilch to do with these dumb turnovers. He did the same at Toledo and often got away with it due to the comp level.
I could care less how many plays he makes when he's continually making plays for the defense by gifting extra possessions.

I'd rather see Finn try to run when it's taking too long to find a receiver
