Amen brother. We have just stepped on the first stone, while attempting to cross the river.

It is going to take some time. In the meantime, enjoy the ride. This was one heck of an exciting game. Isn't that what we have all wanted ? Exciting Football ?

Yes, it was exciting...and we will succeed with it eventually.

But, why are we wasting time with a guy that likely won't be our QB next year? And what happened to our defense?

........So uhh Vizza next week.

I dont think so...I want to see Vizza play just as much as the next person but after just 2 games we have seen what an improvement Meager has made in comparison what he's done the last two seasons....sure he did make you crazy at the moment of INT's but thats just the spur of the moment fandom. Go with Meager next week.

Meager played an amazing game minus two or three throws.

Upset that we lost to SMU, and upset with our defense, but other than that, it was all good.

Sort of like our own A-Rod. Great stats but when it really counts he did not produce. Facts are Facts.

HOW DID WE JUST SCREW THAT UP???

I'm sure it was Meager's fault.

You guys are ridiculous. Meager throws the ball 60 times, has 600 yards and 3 TD's. If we had any kind of defense he wouldn't have been in the position of needing to throw it late that created the interceptions. Give the young man a break.

what we saw was Meager rake in the yards but anytime there was the least bit of pressure he folded like a card house. Look at the last 2 INTs and the sacks in the last few drives. Won't even comment on the snap screw-up while down at the 1 yd line. Bring on Vizza, Meager has already had plenty of time.

There, fixed it. Yep, the defense did not produce.

I'm not going to dump on Meager too much, but I think you hit on something when you said 600 yards and ONLY 3 TD's. I certainly like the yards, but not crazy about the TD's since we don't seem to be doing a whole hell of a lot on the ground.

This SMU offense did not score a TD against Texas Tech's suspect defense. Tonight, Tech gave up 31 to UTEP.

My only concern with this crazy offense is this -- yes, it's exciting, but are we going to be Texas Tech/Hawaii/Wherever Hal Mumme is where the defense is forced onto the field forever, every game is a track meet, etc? This defense was supposed to be the CLEAR strength of the team. SMU has comparable talent to NT and an offense that scored SIX on us last year and didn't get in the end zone once against TTU.

Tonight, talent wasn't the difference. We beat these guys 24-6 last year. We'll be seduced by the sexy numbers, but this hurts.

Tap the brakes guys. Meager just threw for 597 yards in ONE game. Fitzgerald had 326 yards receiving and Bjax had over 100. Sure Meager had three picks but if you think the offense cost us this game then you are wrong. This is our SECOND GAME in this new offense and we just broke the single game passing and receiving records. It is gonna take time for the team to get where we want to be but we just put up 634 yards of total offense. This offense is only going to get better. And remember when high school seniors that play on the offensive side of the ball see these kind of stats they will start salivating over playing in this kind of offense. We may have lost on the scoreboard, but we may be winning some recruiting battles with this kind of output.

And please explain to me how this defense was going to be the clear strength of this team. We may have brought back a majority of the starting defense from last year but that goes out the window because last years defense stunk. This defense hasn't been good since Gary DeLoach left.

I just heard Dunham state that Meager threw for more yards tonight than he did all last season...I'm definitely still excited about the rest of the season and beyond.

So we only had 37 yards rushing? Not looking to go back to DD ball by any means, but it sounds like we didn't mix it up real well. No doubt that I'm very optimistic about the future regardless of the numbers.

Also consider the sacks and that 25!!! yard loss for the bad snap.

Parts of this thread proves the old saying that some people will complain about anything. With DD it was always throw the ball. Now with TD it's why can't we run. People piss me off at times.

Yep, there are some "Polly Perfects" on the board.

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
