They scored on their first drive when Utah was seeing how their offense worked, and in the waning moments of a beat down when Utah had their second string in, and knew they would win. That says their offense really couldn't score when it mattered. If we have an average game somewhere in the middle of OSU and Sam Houston, we have a shot at beating them. They have proven they arent a good team. If we have a great game we will definitely beat them. We can't play like we did against Sam Houston. I don't know if we'd get mud stomped but we wouldn't win. On our worst day we are probably as good or better than No Alabama and they only lost by 17.

The snapper(Fedigan) didn't look terrible against OSU. He was not bad last year. He was supposed to be ranked really high when coming out of HS to us a year or two ago. Bazinet is a highly ranked freshman. Have them compete this week and make a decision on it at the end of the week.
I said it during the game against SHSU, that if we play like that in Feyettnam then we will lose. But as coach said last year we lose that game to Sam Houston. So I dont know a change in perspective now? Baylor is supposed to sit out the game against A&M Commerce. So we will be able to get all of our quarterbacks some playing time against them. This should be an easy enough win that we should be able to run the ball all day.

East Texas A&M Commerce Lost 23-15 to Mercer. I didnt know Mercer had a football team. They also lost 44-7 to SF Austin. They did beat down Northwestern State.

Northwestern State lost to an NAIA school, somewhere mentioned it was the first time in forever that a D1 school lost to an NAIA school. A&M Commerce may have a win but it's not an indicator of their potential. This is going to be a beat down this weekend. We should stay as vanilla as possible so we don't tip any plays or special plays that we may have.

Let me be real and not use the blue and gold colored glasses... We don't know what we have yet. The offense has not been good, dropped passes, missed blockes, bad passes, and stupid penalties. Against Sam our leading receiver was a running back and our second leading rusher was a defensive lineman on a fake punt. You can see it in Lamb's eyes, he is pissed with the offense.

Defense has been good and sometimes outstanding. Big plays have hurt, but to hold two teams under 20 points is great. RStill room for improvement.

Special teams have been good on coverage, kickoffs, and punting... But the deep snap and the butterflies from the inexperienced kickers has to stop. Give it to the freshman and roll with it.

Coaching was hot against OSU and horrible against SHSU, hard to gauge them at this point.

We are a weak 2-0, but we are 2-0 and these issues are fixable. 18 votes in the poll is unexpected, but welcome.

Wow, that was longer than unexpected...

I think we will look better this week. Probably a bit of hangover from beating OSU again in the first game, that resulted in a dismal performance overall last week.
I expect we go to Pigville and get a win.

With the tragic news of what happened Wednesday and Coach lamb saying he overworked the team I will change to say this team winning Saturday was a minor miracle...
