I am not coaching this team, but I am wondering what they are seeing in practice that made them think Aune was our best option? Bean looks amazing. I am guessing they were going by his game performance against SMU.

I think SL was stubborn and wanted the best QB to run his offense. It could be that neither will be great at doing that. I don't know if this will translate every week but we should've been doing something similar to this all along. Having said that it doesn't help when we are immediately down double digits every week.

FYI Mobley from MTSU is 229 lbs.  Big boi

This is still a ball game.  not over yet

There goes the defense giving up another easy TD.

Lets go defense keep working .

[outoftown]

Time to get a methodical drive that kills some clock and also puts some more points on the board.

Jason Bean looking like a future Dejuan Williams. Love it! 

[Wookies]

Sometimes football can be so simple. Run the ball and the o line looks better. Rush more than three and the defense looks better. Perfect the simple things then expand your concepts.

[Side Show Joe]

If the defense doesn't give away too many more TD's we should win this one. But, I'm going to tap the breaks a little. Middle is pure garbage. The real test is how we play against LA Tech (who has owned us), and UTSA (who played Army tough today).

Despite how this season ends, Dardin has been a joy to watch. So, happy for him. I'm glad Bean finally got back on the field. I have to wonder how our games against Charlotte and USM may have turned out. Also, the RB stable is incredible. Hats off to those players and Cobbs. What a job if coaching he is doing.

Yep.   Our D can give up yards quickly.    MT is about to stack the box to stop the run.    But, they haven't been able to stop it so far.   And, they have not only have to watch our RB's, but Bean.  

We will find out soon enough.   If we are still able to ram it down their throat, we should be in good shape still,

I agree.  We have several good running back.  Feed them the pineapple.

[TheColonyEagle]

OLine has been good today

[meanrob]

Having said all that this defense is still not good. Any QB that can throw will tear them apart. 

Also the tape will be out on Bean after this game. SL still will have to adjust to teams playing to stop the run and QB keepers. Bean will have to make the right reads and make teams pay downfield. Not convinced we'll be able to do that consistently. And we still haven't shown we can get short yardage. 

[greenminer]

We are about to finish with three 100-yard rushers.

[Side Show Joe]

I'm really shocked MT hasn't put a spy on Bean. At this point why not?

[akriesman]

Come on offense.    1 more TD.

To have a spy you most play man to man. Darden destroys man to man. Play zone and our running game eats.

[outoftown]

That was Beans first ill-advised pass tonight. Luckily noone managed to pick that off.

[TheColonyEagle]

Proud of the players. Good effort today.

This is good.  No?

[Got5onIt]

Aune isn’t a starter. Need to put Bean back in.

Internet Explorer?  Is that you? 

[akriesman]

It would be a nice confidence builder if the D can keep them out of the end zone here at the end.

[Big Z]

Overall better performance 

[akriesman]

Nice job there D !

Yes. The reason why I liked Bean.

I was answering why MTSU didn’t spy  more.

[outoftown]

Neither of these teams is great. But it sure feels better to come away with the W than lose this kind of game. And had it not been for the first quarter, this would have been an outright blowout. There is also a chance the coaches learned some things about the team  on both sides of the ball that they will hopefully apply the rest of the season.
