maybe throw a blitz package here? we can't let him stand back there forever.

 

[NWFAN66]

No pressure at all. Mabey bring xtra guy. Mabey

 

[NWFAN66]

I hate our d coordinator

 

[TejasCat]

Hey Hank, we don't have Lowry and Gibson anymore, these guys aren't getting it done, HOW ABOUT A BLITZ!

 

[WoodersonCat]

Hartage has to do better than that if he wants to keep his job

Don't blame him. This is on the coaches. McCall specifically. The offense is no better than last year. 120th in the nation isn't going to cut it. Or are we to believe that we're coaching the offense down ad

well we escaped with only a FG, but that was one of the dumbest timeouts I've ever seen. Even if we stop them, what are we gonna do from inside our 10?

Fitz thinks he will get fined for every first half timeout he doesn't use.

 

[Alvious]

D-line is getting simply abused.

 

[WoodersonCat]

Outcoached. Period.

What else is new? Nothing. Springer. Cushing. McCall. Still here. Same result.

 

[HappyNUyear]

Very poor play calling

 

[TheC]

We got slower all over the field.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

WMU has a good offense that eats up a lot of time. WMU must be dominating on time of possession.
WMU in the lead again with 3rd fg.
Very impressed by WMU so far.

 

[Deeringfish]

OK ir we can answer the FGwith a TD we will be alright

 

[Alvious]

I think we may have to put up 7 on every possession from here on out.

 

[Gladeskat]

We don't have enough 2-stars. WMU's 2-stars are kicking 3-star and 4-star butt today.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Justin Jackson having a good game, even without Long to spell him

 

[corbi296]

Losing the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and our tackling is very poor. Not a good way to get started.

 

[kreggk]

It would truly suck if we were the only BT team to lose on opening weekend - although Wisky may have something to say about that...

 

[NWFAN66]

Wtf was that

 

[NWFAN66]

Love that kid. STUD

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Good to see WM burning a timeout. Go Cats!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I like passes to JJ in space! Nice gain

Hey Glades, I hear it's your Bday. Hope it ends up happy!
Go Cats!!

 

[bjm989]

I like passes to JJ in space! Nice gain

Someone called a screen/pass in the flat to him a few posts ago. Good call!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

WMU is a very good team!

 

[Deeringfish]

Both D's are getting tired.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

JJ the ball carrier

 

[Alaskawildkat]

OK. Thoughts on settling for one instead of retrying for 2? Penalty moved us too far back to make risk worth it?

 

[Eurocat]

This will be stating the obvious but a turnover would be quite handy right around now.

 

[kreggk]

yes and limited play options for 2 pts.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Nice of Fleck to give our D a few extra minutes by calling the timeout

 

[kreggk]

aaaaand no defense again...

 

[Deeringfish]

Coming right up! I hope.

 

[Alvious]

I'm OK with the 1 after the penalty.

 

[chariots]

The advantage of 6 point lead over 5 is smaller than the loss going from 5 to 4. The right decision should immediately have been kick the XP

 

[TejasCat]

our DE's are getting buried. Alex Miller getting alot of PT, but every play I watch him he is getting manhandled.

 

[Deeringfish]

We are playing the bend and then break Defense

 

[NWFAN66]

Is walker even playing today. Nonexistent

 

[Gladeskat]

Nice tackles on the fake ball carrier.

 

[kreggk]

The yellow/orange Field and Stream banner that appears at lower right on ESPNU is brilliant. I always look at it for a penalty.

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

IO having tough time keeping the edge. Too much Wyatt for my liking. Need to bring some heat.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We r giving them those dinks and dunks!
