I don't care of Meager is ok to play or not! Phillips is just plain better!

You can not prove me wrong.

you beat me to the punch! I totally agree...Phillips needs to start the rest of the season. We already know what Meager has to offer. Phillips came into a tough situation and showed some poise. I would like to see more!!!

I am not ready to annoint him the chosen one just yet, but I do believe he has earned the right for a start next week.

Now don't get me wrong- Meager has potential. He looked alright against ULL (minus the INT and the almost-INT).

But Matt came in without notice, with part of the game time already elapsed, and racked up 23 points. I like this guy.

Funny how people took shots agains Phillips.

What have we got to lose in starting Phillips...I hope you don't think Meager is the chosen one.

Meager could be if he can learn to calm the [blank] down under pressure and follow through on his passing.

BUT I SWEAR if Matt doesn't start next week, I'll start a riot.

"Very pleased with Matt"

"But I don't think Meager played that poorly"

DD is going to really piss me off if DM starts! mad.gif

When I watched the scrimmages before the season I thought Phillips was a bit better, but I thought it was just because Meager was still recovering his shoulder, although I gave Phillips extra points for being a true freshman...with the season going the way it is, give Phillips the start...

uh oh

dawn the riot gear next week

Dickey sounded like Meager is going back in next week!

Also, what is this "knowing the circumstances we are under." What the he*ll is he talking about?

Play someone with some swagger - play Phillips next week!

If DM actually has a concussion he will definately be out a week. MP will start next week no question as he has earned it anything less would be a mistake by DD. You have to promote players when they go all out and show you that they can lead a team. Look at the Titans and Brad. Only one quarter of play is way too early to deem MP the QB of NTs future, but it is definately enough to give him a call back. I would have really liked to see the game on TV to see him in action rather than just hear the announcers. Here's to being at Homecoming!

Wish we could get Meager to develop. I think though Phillips should get a start in one of the last two games. Whoever starts, we will go after a QB for next year

I get the feeling Meager is one those players that can't make the jump. I think the game is too fast for him....he needs to learn how to check his recievers. Some players just have an uncanny ability to adapt and I have yet to see that from him

You are definately right about checking receivers. There were more than a few times this game and all season that Meager threw to JQ in triple coverage. There had to be someone open or more open than that atleast.

Speaking of JQ, did he have a reception this game? I can only remember deflections for him...

Reminds me of the Tt game in Lubbock when Scott Hall was a frosh and nearly pulled out. Phillips has the swagger you need at QB. The team sees it and responds.

Just the fact that MP came in the game and had the sense to hurry to the line and snap the play quickly after the onside kick shows that he is ahead of Meager...Meager would have called a timeout.

Meager just seems to go through the motions showing no leadership at all.... add to that he is also injury prome.

Kinda like his coach DD.

P.S. Isn't Phillips taller and doesn't he weigh more than Meager?

      Now 48-18. Honestly, this is about as frustrating as it can be for those of us that think the league deserves more respect. I get worried that the data/committee hangs their hats on these losses, rather than look at all the mid-P5 wins we accumulate. Then, when selection weekend rolls around and one or two of us Americans are on the bubble, we get knocked out of discussion in favor of some 0.500 P5 squad.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
