It's a crap opponent but I want to see more complimentary ball here. Back up the score with a defensive stop here

Can we get the Samford Defensive coach to hop over to our staff? Not sure how good he is, but he's better than CDA.

And thankfully I have somewhere I need to go in a bit. Won't mind missing the 2nd half of this one.

It was half empty at the beginning.

Now GT 13-0. #12 Clemson in danger of a 1-2 start.

Took Samford 10 plays/80 yds to score at all.

Fire CDA. Defensive genius can't stop a cream puff.

Should be 35-0 by now.

Than he shouldn't be playing today. This is a game BU should win with backups


Maybe our backups aren't really good enough to do it. Do we have proof? With our defense, our #1 offense must be depended on????

There was a good defensive series (finally)

Its terrifying that we are relying on 4th down conversions and Samford mistakes to win this game

While I'm certainly not thrilled with some things, everyone needs to R-E-L-A-X.

Washington is so fundamentally sound. Stays tucked and close to the ground at the LOS. Legs always moving, pushing forward.

It certainly looks like team and staff are very relaxed

We pretty much go for in 4th whether it is Samford or a ranked team. Y'all tend to hate it every time even when it is successful.

All Washington on that run. Not impressed with lack of push by the OLine.

Heck of a TD run by Washington.

We need to start opening some holes for him because he's a special back if you just give him a little space to operate.

When they require reviews, shows there's no dominance.

Call the Touchdown play, Sawyer, and then call it a day.

Why do they rename stuff that doesnt need to be renamed? The 2-minute warning is now a 2-minute timeout. One day, soccer will retain the name football, and ours will be called Oblong Ball

The NFL threatened legal action when the NCAA tried to call it the 2 minute warning.

I couldnt find that anywhere. This is what I came up with; This change mirrors the NFL's two-minute warning but is called a "timeout" to reflect its current purpose: to stop the game clock for teams to strategize and for broadcast partners to synchronize media breaks, rather than serving as a warning when official game time wasn't visible to teams.

Seems logical but I 100% remember the reason for the name being changed being discussed on Game Day and Big Noon Kickoff.

So, do we even give Robertson one series in the second half? If we do and especially if we score, that should wind his day up.

You had edited it right as I was quoting it. But you said it should be 35-0 fire Aranda. That is …….well……substantially less than serious thought.

Samford had their best half offensively this season in the first half. Smh! They have played West Georgia and the Citadel! Something is going to have to change, or this whole season Sawyer and the rest of the offense have to play lights out to stay ahead.
