Mitchell is just not big enough to pick up 250 lb linebackers on the blitz protection. We either need to start using our younger and bigger fullbacks or place some tight ends back there as H-backs to provide some protection.

What the hell happened to my adopted player Kerrona Henderson? Is he still with the team? He was tearing things up from the FB position in fall practice and he's what, 220 lbs? Anyone know? Is this another case of DD playing the player with seniority no matter what? unsure.gif

I think Meager's got a few problems, some health related, and especially after Saturday some mental. However, we've invested too much time in him to turn away. I know we all want to make it a 5-peat and have the longest conference winning streak in the record books for a long time. But I think we also have to consider that Meager will be with us for 3 more years. We're all used to Scott Hall at the helm with his presence and abilities, but I believe that given time, Meager can do the same. We can't sit and compare quarterbacks because they are simply two different people with two different thought patterns and physical gifts.

Even though I didn't like Quincy Carter as the QB in Dallas, I supported him (at least when other people could hear) because he was at the helm. As a RS freshman QB, Meager is going to be a little vulnerable. It's the coaches' jobs to help him overcome and learn. As good fans, although we can question his playcalling and point out his mistakes, let's not forget that he's still young. If we support him now, we can be part of helping him grow into an outstanding QB.

As for Phillips, I'm a huge fan and I do hope he gets some playing time. However, I think Meager is the guy for this year, and I say support Meager now and watch in the off season to see who wants the starting job more.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
