3_n_out

Absolutely, and it was maddening.

Perhaps because of his injury history, CM didn’t run as much as he could have. It would be a nice added wrinkle if our qb would be able to pick up some first downs on the run. That could definitely open things up more.

RH lit into Grant Newell there. Didn’t know Ross had that much fire in him. I like to see it tho. It makes the players more attentive to the finer details

Now we need to find targets for him to throw to and OL to block. Also, I hope EM has more than just screens in the playbook to call. It should be a really interesting spring to see who will come out as the top dog in the QB room.

He would be a fantastic pickup

Perhaps this could even solidify the defensive players coming with him. “I’ll stick with you if you stick with me. “

So far, only 3 names have hurt: 1. C Tyler Mercer 2. CM 3. DT The rest are meh

I’m sure we’re feeling a little disappointed with these guys leaving, but I want to wait and see who we pull from the portal before I grade this winter. Does Cassidy have enough pull to bring his defensive guys from SHSU? Does EM’s air raid offense still entice offensive skilled players? Is there a QB wanting to raise his stock and play here?

Revamped OL next season once again. At this point, wouldn’t be surprised to see Larry Moore and Makai (spelling?) Lee both enter the portal also after losing their starting spots during the season. Only one left is our other frosh LT whose name escapes me at the moment. I guess we’ll see more of Johnny Dickson…yay (sarcastically).

This is the nature of the beast, sadly. Not surprised nor angry. It’ll just be a year-to-year thing for G5 football. If CM gets more money to play somewhere else, I can’t fault him. Besides, this OL wasn’t good and he’d be running a lot trying to dodge DLmen. Hard to pass up $$$ while possibly moving on to a better team.

Maybe it’s a good time to rewatch some SHSU football tonight. I want to start getting overly optimistic again

Some would argue our defense wasn’t even to CUSA standards.

The rotations continue to kill me ever since last year. I get that he wants to go all out defense, and that takes a lot of stamina and effort, so I kinda see the subs every five minute intervals. But, how long do we need to see Moulaye be a detriment to this team offensively night in and night out? I believe he’s given too big of a role for what we need and what we can handle. He’d be much better in a backup role. Vice may have a better general understanding of basketball since he was a decent rated prospect out of HS and recruited by a respected program. Plus he’s got size which we’ve been wanting for this team. I don’t see why he and some of the younger guys aren’t playing, especially when could use more production. Is RH being too stubborn for his own good? If this is what he ran at juco, his system needs tweaking now that he’s up in D-1 basketball. There’s no rec league games up here and every game is crucial…especially when you’re a G5 program.

As I’ve mentioned before in another thread, in close games like these, the coaching has got to play a big part in helping you win. Yes the players must execute, but have we noticed anything different from RH when the games are tight?

They’re showing too many HPU shots go in against us.
