Michael Lawrence

Law man didn’t have one catch the whole night. Sad

[TheColonyEagle]

He’s been our most productive receiver all year. Their coaching staff completely erased him. 
 

on the flip side....we couldn’t do that for their best receiver. He went off.

I recall at least one drop.  Low snap threw off the timing of the play so the throw was a bit behind him, but I thought he still should have had it.  

Bad night in general, but the beer was cold.

Our inability to hit our quick receivers on crossing routes is shameful. Everything we throw is at the sideline or stop routes....unless we heave a bomb. No variation on the routes. Just piss on it

[UNT78]

Brodie sucks! Damnit, pass the ball, quick crossing routes; could have burned SMU 10 times with crossing routes. Defense, are we so weak we can’t afford to blitz the quarterback, answer is yes, our cover corners are slow as shit. The entire defensive line is way too slow and undersized...season is lost, Fine has missed throw after throw all season, no answer for this one.

No no no. Mason had about 1 second to throw the ball against SMU. Also those DBs were SEC size and very fast. 

Overall yes, Fine has missed quite a bit of throws that are uncharacteristic, but I think its because of Bodie

Have you noticed... During the GH era every time Mason had a bad game it was GH's fault, now it Bodie's fault. I love Mason, but he needs to be help accountable for his play.

Yes I agree with that. Mason hasn't been himself, but a part of that is because of Bodie. He has never looked like this in his career.

Lawrence actually had one catch for 15 yards, but the box score, at least the one I saw on the CBS Sports app., incorrectly credited defensive player, Joe Ozougwu, the other number 32.  Same thing happened with not crediting Loren Easly for his rushes...gave them to the other number 23, KD Davis.

It seems like he might have an injury that he is trying to work through rather than resting and healing.

At this point, it makes you wonder why he is not resting. I think, and hopefully I am wrong, that Seth is too focused on padding his stats rather than preparing for the future. Perhaps it's because he plans on this being his last year here?

To be fair, I have not heard Mason fail to hold himself accountable and place blame at the feet of the OC.  Kid is a hard worker and needs to keep working to exorcise whatever demons have taken him over.  That said, I think he may be playing with some undisclosed injuries that are not quick to heal, and are getting aggravated.   That was apparent last night with his left shoulder.   It’s concerning that he appeared to have a nagging injury coming out of a bye week.

Honest question - why do we have players sharing numbers?

Agree, I have never heard Mason not step up. He is such a competitor that he will continue to push forward until he absolutely cannot.

That’s pretty common in college, as long as they play on opposite sides of the ball.  However, we did get flagged on special teams once this year for having two players on the field with the same number, as I recall.

It’s a great question, because as I look through the roster we have quite a few numbers not being used.  I guess they let the players choose and as long as they don’t duplicate numbers on one side of the ball, they can do it.  But it confuses announcers and stat keepers that don’t follow our team regularly.

I think you are on to something there, because he has been very slow to get up after taking hits, getting sacked, knocked down, etc... this season, especially the past several games.

We have never seen mason so off like this. I do put much of the blame on Reeder. He is in over his head.

Yes, and no. Mason has missed a lot of wide open receivers this year. Maybe Reeder has not been able to help him with that "competitive edge" that GH could.

Correct, Lawrence had one catch on a ball thrown by Jason Bean.

[Texas Stranger]

Defensive players wanting low numbers, especially single digits, is a huge fad now.  Right up there with the generation number (I, II, III) bit.

[UNTLifer]

Fine’s mechanics are off. He is throwing a lot off his back foot which is a sign he is expecting to get hit. Could also be a result of trying to protect his injured left shoulder.
