My quickie scouting report on Memphis

[Arkstfan]

Seth Henigan from some place called Denton in Texas is a stud. Last year wasn't the man for much of the season but 25 TD's to 8 picks. This year 6 TD's to 0 picks. 
Super dangerous running the ball. Either doesn't want to run or the coaches don't want him to run but if the pocket collapses and there is a hole, he can eat you up.

They've got some receivers who can break away but watch out for Cade Prieskorn their 6'5" TE he's fast for his size. One of his TD's he wasn't the target but the ball was deflected at the line of scrimmage and he kicked it in gear like a great center fielder and hauled it in for a TD.

Defensively they aren't great but if you get in a position where you can't do something and they can sellout to stop, they can be dangerous. If you can balance run/pass throwing short/long you can score on them. One of our TD's they sold out to stop the run and fairly short route and quick throw went to the house.

We milked the clock with 32 rushes vs 34 pass attempts and had a shot at winning with under two minutes until an OL injury caused a complete meltdown of back to back false starts and then a wild snap that killed any hope.

If you can balance the attack and pressure the secondary they can be beaten.

Man, if only we could balance the attack without "not executing".   
See, that's the problem Arkstfan.   Our players continually fail to "execute".  Our coach tells us it's "on me" to fix, but it just seems like we can't "execute" every week we play a good team.   Isn't that weird?

Sounds like he went to the Blake Anderson school of post-game press conferences.

Pain.

good passing team we are in trouble

 

[untbowler]

this weekend will not be pretty, if UNLV put up 58 pts, Memphis could easily put up 70 pts with their better QB.

You are going to win. I took Memphis on the money line and at -11.5, if the me wagering mojo doesn't save you nothing can.

Here's all I need to know about Memphis:

FBS and not in CUSA. Seth goes 0-12.

[zenhuddy]

Yes the excuse of not Executing seems to be the std story -- SO how long does a staff get a pass for doing a bad job - In the field of play, if you do this for a couple games in a row your "riding the pine" -- are coaches exempt of their own rules ---Kinda like the yoyo's in DC? Seth said we failed on all 3 phases -- and we have to coach better - so I guess that will all be fixed this week and we'll win > ?    Nah don't see that happening at all just hope we somehow show more of our talent and less of our azz,,,,,,   I agree with some of the others that in many cases we have capable guys except for DB's (we lost two I know they were counting on) and the QB quandary - but can we compensate with the rest of the team and better schemes ? hummmm ?

if anyone is going to the coaches show tomorrow could you ask If all three phases will be working this week.

You might start with "Will ANY phases of the game be working this week?"

[UNTLifer]

Do they even allow for questions from the people attending?

[greenjoe]

There has been no Q and A from the fans for some years now.  And the participants cluster in the adjoining room until called on.  Afterward, they return to the “green” room.

I watched most of the game. The defense definitely isn't the best, but Arkansas State is a much better team then we are offensively. The only thing I saw was that they did have some trouble defending the run. Our only hope IMO is running the rock. Seth Henigan is legit though, and we're going to get to know him well as a future conference mate, because he's only a Sophomore.

Oh, I highly doubt it's "open mic".
And if anyone decided to write a difficult question down and submit, it will be promptly sifted.

Start even simpler: “What do YOU think are the three phases of football?”

Maybe we’re all just looking at different things, you know? Maybe jersey combos has been one of the phases this whole time and we need more jersey threads…

To be fair he beat Arkansas /s

It's really sad that he routinely makes mid-tier G5's look like Alabama. I don't expect to win every non-conference FBS game, but at least make it look remotely competitive.

I expect Memphis to win by 3+ scores

Yeah, I'm just going on what he's done since Liberty 2018. He's 0-11 vs OOC FBS since then. Overall, 5-18. And don't look at the score differential. People talk about body bag games when that's everything outside of FCS and CUSA for SL.

Armyx2, SMU, Arkansas, Liberty... that's the OOC FBS wins for his career.
