Ugly game.

Aranda talked about after the SMU game how they still had a lot to clean up. Guess that didn't happen.

Why is Sawyer wide and right today? Is he having feet trouble?

Knighten likes to spin a lot, but he has lost some valuable yardage doing that


This. Sometimes you just take the 3-5 yards and go down.

RB coach is gonna have to break Knighten from the high school bounce backs. Watch Washington and Pendergrass (obviously last year) fundamentals -- always moving forward and if there is any bounce it's at an angle, not backwards.

Our OL can't open a damn hole against a FCS DL. Concerning.

And at this point it should be a worn down Weak FCS team's DLine. Not good.

Glorified scrimmage

But it's a scrimmage we've had to keep our starters in for three quarters because our offense has been dicking around all day.

That's failure.

Sawyer bet on the under today? This is absolutely pathetic.

We're about to get skunked in the 3rd quarter.

Today would probably be an L with this effort against anyone else we have left on our schedule...except maybe Ok ST

Credit to the defense. They've played really well around that one terrible possession.

Samford's offense is terrible, but we've been pretty sound since the TD drive.

Sawyer back out to toss another pick

We'll show up more ready to play for every other game.

But it's disappointing that this team thinks it can sleepwalk against anyone.

We look like a team that didn't think it needed to play hard or well to beat an overmatched opponent today, and that's a coaching failure.

Something is way off today especially with Sawyer. Hope it's nothing physical. He is the man.

Agreed. Defense started fine, went into a coma on that one series, and has been good since then.

Offense is just off for whatever reasons.

Why are more second teamers not in by now? They need the reps.

Yep...we know he has the talent based on last year and the first 2 games of this year against much better competition.

I don't know how to explain his performance today. It's just a turd he'll have to flush down the toilet and forget about.

Stop throwing passes to Kelsey Johnson.
BearlyNose
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That's Johnson's 2nd mishandled pass. Either his vision needs to be check or he needs more hand practice.

Sorry. Hate to be critical but that kid has awful hands. No reason not to catch that or the other one Sawyer put in his hands.
