I know that goes down as an INT in the stat book, but I like the idea given the situation.

After bashing Rudy last week I'll gladly eat crow this week. The pass game is working and he's using it.

Probably would've been a TD had Studs not been forced to move to his left.

Let's go defense, the offense wants the ball back.

There we go!

Fingers crossed

Hope it's nothing too serious, can't afford to lose many LBs.

Everyone loves a nice big pair of perky totties.

I was just thinking about that

I was under the impression that we were talking about Rudy's play calling as a whole. In the Utah game their LB's hugged the line of scrimmage with no fear of pass plays over the top of them.

I'm aware, but with 8 and 9 in the box geared to stop the run it may be an effective way to get the defense to back off a little bit.

Most of the times we pass are in obvious passing situations down and distance wise. Same goes with running situations. I'm just looking for the occasional curveball to throw the defense off. Hakstol took a lot of flack on here over the years for his rigid style of play. I'm willing to wait and see how they do against non-Utah competition. We had chances for TD's early in that game and stuck with the run, run, pass model.

You can't tell me you were happy with the play calling against Utah. Of course it's not every single play every single game. It's just frustration with the fact that we seem to have more offensive talent then we did a couple years ago, but the play calling remains very similar.

It'd be nice to use some play action to hit some long pass plays to the TE over the middle. Some screens and maybe at least try to throw deep to a receiver on 2nd or 3rd and short.

Well, their has got to be some worse then him. Had you never watched one of our games or had any awareness of our personnel, you would have to assume based on play calling, we have nothing to offer in the pass game. I'm a little worried it might hurt Bubba's ability to recruit a Kenny G type receiver.

I didn't expect that to happen against Utah either. When it became obvious that the run game wasn't going to work they didn't seem to alter the game plan. That was the frustrating part of the game for me. Sometimes you have to pass to be able to open up the run, that's really what I want them to have the ability to do when need be.

I too will take a win however they come, but at the same time a slightly higher scoring offense would make things easier on the defense. More sustained drives will give them extra rest and playing with a lead will force teams to become one dimensional against us as the game goes on. I would love to be up by 14 or 17 in the fourth quarter so the defense can just attack the opposing QB.

I don't know anything about his status, but I loved that hit. I hope he's healthy and available to deliver hits like those all year long.

I watched the first half of that game, how in the hell did they lose. A&M dominated the first half.

Once you break one doesn't it make it more prone to breaking?

We don't have the kind of hogs you need to stop your front seven. I feel good about our d-line, they had some success against you guys so that should translate well to FCS play.
