No. I think that our porous defense will impact this game far greater.

We need it for games vs teams like UH, Tech, and even LaTech and SMU. Outside of these kind of match ups, it has proven to be an eyesore.

I think it's noteworthy to be read into. We all knew that was going to be the problem this year. And it proved to be a problem vs a FCS program. As for the ACU fans, we were up by 30+ points. And though I don't like it, called the dogs off as far as offensive play calling. And it's not that I don't mind calling the dogs off, I mind it when our defense starts reeling and the opponent starts to feel good about themselves.

The more important question is, what is Mason going to NEED to throw up on them to be competitive?

He's a member of the secondary...Getting 14 tackles as a member of the secondary (unless your name is Kam Chancelor) is not a good thing.

Super awesome? Yeah, we sound cool.

That's all well and dandy, but I don't care about those QBs and our QB was visibly hobbling. It was an unnecessary risk.

FCS games can be a good indicator...Giving up 435 yards and 31 points to FCS is an indicator of any sorts. I indicate that Arkansas will still suck because they beat Portland State 20-13 today in their season/home opener.

I didn't say that. A poster did. I have been concerned about this defense since 2016. Last year was a tick up for the sake of JUCO kids that the staff landed on big time. But they are gone now and we haven't really reloaded with the same caliber of players, or at least they're not playing to this point. The defense is the achilles heel of this team and has been since SL arrived on campus. And this might be the worst bunch yet, and that's saying something if you consider the 2017 defense.

Not really. Because I have to assume that most defensive starters are out there busting chops given how long they left Fine in the game. And their version of busting chops will get us boat raced out of stadiums vs competent offenses.

Begging to not let the defense on the field vs ACU. lol. This is where we are. There is a lot of clean up to be had. The first game is just for this, but dang. C'mon.

No one seems to care because apparently they're perfectly happy with their 23-16 record over 3 years to NEVER questions anything this staff does....Like, for instance, give up 435 yards of offense and 31 points to a meh FCS program. Beaten dog syndrome is leaking into some people's posts.

Meh. ACU dropping 400 yards of offense on our D is more of the ass whipping I would think. If they're doing it, what are better opponents going to do?

And people aren't worried about this defense. Better wake up.

Can we please quit running our QB on designed runs. Thanks.

Route running is exactly a reason to stay another year.

Brissett is 5-12 as a starter. Not to say he isn't capable, but I think his role in the NFL is that of a backup.

They better start trading for Lock then I suppose.

Which Mason would've publicly scolded the CFB playoff format on this platform. I know that's not his MO, but they were dangling reconstruction talk right in front of him. The whole world can't get the word equality out of their mouths, until college football is pushed into the conversation.

Zona @ Hawai'i UCLA @ Cincy Utah @ BYU Wisconsin @ USF Purdue @ Nevada Indiana vs Ball State - Neutral Field Ole Miss @ Memphis Mississippi State vs ULL - Neutral Field (RANKED) Syracuse @ Liberty Missouri @ Wyoming Hold steady. They still need "us". And, clearly, are willing to come to "us" to play. Never get into a bad scheduling debacle. Now I did not research these at all. So I am not sure what the format is (2/1, 1/1, etc.). But the idea of these other programs just NOT playing us anymore is ridiculous when so many in just the first week are willing to leave their home turf to play. That is all.

2 for 1's are awful. FCS games do have a benefit. It's called a tune up. Bluebloods do them, we do them. Just about everyone does them. 2 for 1's are straight out of the book of How to be a Nobody.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27422599/why-mason-fine-best-qb-know Very cool read. We all know of this or have heard of most of this. But it's cool to see it get this kind of attention/publicity.

9-4. The old cliche about history prevails.
