Lots of all-conference athletes don’t get ESPN jobs, but a lot easier if you are a white girl with a famous daddy. Ever notice most sideline reporters look fairly similar?

I'd have to see percentages and breakdowns of Journalism majors and application demographics before making any kind of informed comment on this.

Good run by the defense, they did not give them an easy TD, can live with that defensive stand even with a TD

I’m not saying he didn’t score, but those camera angles sure didn’t help on the review.

edit to add:  I wish that would have been the only camera angles we had on McGill’s non-TD against Army.

I agree. The defense has been playing hard today and I am loving what I'm seeing so far.

And better ball control by the Offense to maintain drives by staying ahead of the chains.  Some was due to better execution and passing, but also not forcing too many long passes that leave you with 2nd and 10, then 3rd and 5, then a failed 4th and 1.  Not trying those may have been dictated by the strong wind.

Fair enough. Just saw that her name is Kathryn but continues to use her childhood nickname of Smacker. I guess I am officially an old man shouting at a cloud but I just can’t with this one…

On a positive note, despite Eric Morris, we had an uninspiring yet successful first half. Too bad we gave up a late TD but so much better to lead at the half, especially since I think we get the ball in the 3rd.

And again a screen pass on third down. Who could have anticipated that call??? 
 

edit: echoing calls to fire the S&C coach.

welp, I hope we enjoyed the first half, first Mr NIL Sheffield fumbles the ball then defense gives up the big play. No thanks to the offense again turning over the ball

ok. it was great in the first half on defense... but this one... whoo boy. That one would make me lose it if I were the coach.

the fumble before on offense didn't help either tough. Momentum clearly stolen by the pirates
