From a group text about running backs...

[dawgstudent]

Our running backs had 12 carries. They averaged 6 yards per carry.

We have a 1000 yard back and a sophomore phenom and they have 24 carries between them over 2 games. Incredible.

Fitz had 36 carries for 52 yards over those 2 games.

Conference only stats
Total offense = 201.5 yds 14th
Rushing offense = 80 yds 14th
Passing offense = 121.5 yds 13th
Yds per rush = 2.67 14th
Scoring offense = 6.5 ppg 14th

How dare you question our offensive guru HC

but the defense wasn’t giving us the look that said to hand the ball off...

It's frustrating reading his post game comments. "We have to figure it out."

How does a sports message board and the rest of the country know we're a power run/option team with PA pass mixed in?

Auburn is about to really embarrass us.

But we’ve only played two defensive juggernauts from the sec east. Just give it time and wait till we play some teams from the West...

 

[coach66]

Yep, we have to change some things or it’s

Not going to turn around. Defense again played their butts off except stopping that wr screen, we never took that away and they ran it all night. Fitz and our OL can’t run this offense so let’s run one that we can until the personnel changes. The opposing defenses are just teeing off on us and we don’t make them pay.

And for the record, we averaged 418 yds/gym of offense last year. Moorhead has ruined us

 

[mcfly.sixpack]

Our defense was gassed. Florida had 20 minutes of time if possession IN THE SECOND HALF

 

[dawgstudent]

Auburn is not that strong either. Not saying we will win but I don't see State getting blown out.

We did put Willie Gay out wide to help disrupt the wr screen, so our defense did at least make some adjustments
