Watch Ta’amu play

[AssEndDawg]

He is a single read QB. Lasers in on his target and if not open he scrambles. Really need a spy to read the QB and take away the middle. Then just do our best to take away the deep ball and run, run, run.

That’s not just him... it’s the OM offense. There is no development in that offense. No reading the defense. It’s a gimmick offense. It works well in college but these guys with NFL hopes are doing themselves no favors in this offense.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I think he's pretty good. Hasn't played against a really good defense yet, though.

 

[engie]

Very good with time. Seems to get pretty erratic under perceived pressure and hears footsteps a little early. He def totally locks in on the first read. Which he gets away with because his WRs are all elite.

 

[Shamoan]

He has been very impressive. Good, accurate arm. Om benched him for Patterson....pfff.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

He does look good. I will give credit where credit is due.

 

[MaroonNation]

He has shined against teams with bad defenses. He was a non factor against LSU and Kentucky

 

[Justin themowa reed]

The announcers can't shut up about the kid

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

He was more a non factor in the LSU game because he came off the bench when Patterson was hurt.

He went 31-40 for 382 and 4TDs against Kentucky.

But you are correct, outside of the quarter he played against LSU with an out of reach game, he hasn't seen any really good defenses. aTm and UK are both very average. Not sure when everyone figured out Chavis exactly, but he's probably done for...

I didn’t watch that game except the last few minutes so can’t comment on the whole performance. But he did lead a 2 minute game winning drive ending with a fade route TD. Wouldn’t say non-factor but it was UK.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

A few thoughts... He has not faced a defense for four quarters nearly as good as ours (he had one meaningful drive against LSU). He has never in his life played on the road in a more difficult environment than what he will face on Thursday- not even close. The best two teams he’s faced are A&M and UK and we beat them by a combined 50 points or so.

Will we need to have a good plan and play well? Absolutely. But there’s no reason UM should be able to come into Starkville and win if we play our game.

 

[Philly Dawg]

That’s basically what we saw against Bama so we should be ready.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

A&M has turned up the pressure in the second half and Taamu is affected.
