And all the kick-offs stayed in-bounds....yeah!

Keith

To be fair though, there were at least two that the WKU guys inexplicably fielded right along the sidelines.

The way our kick-off coverage was, we would have been better off with them going out of bounds ... :blink:

Having never tried kicking off, I wonder why the ball can't be more frequently kicked deep into the end zone. Is Knott not (he he) able to kick it that far ? We've had kickers in the past that always could end the return threat by kicking deep into the endzone.

I'm glad for the win. However, our kickoff coverage was horrible. We stopped WKU once at the 23 and the rest of the day, we didn't stop then until well past the 50.

Then how did we give up an average of just more than 24 yards per return? Science?

Long return called back on a penalty?

We hold plays wiped out by penalties against the team now? Is there a new hypothetical yardage stat that ca be further used to kick the team in the nuts, because if so, I want in.

since rule change a few years ago moving kickoff back 10 yards from 40 yard line to 30, its unusual for any college kicker to put it in the end zone without a strong wind at his back.

All I am saying is that others could be insinuating that given the fact that there were two very long returns in this game, that the special teams were not as good as the stats could lead you to believe. I have no opinion on the matter, I think that there are much bigger problems than the special teams.

I agree with your last statement. I'm not trying to stick up and say our special teams are great, just amazed that people can just fire off random declarative statements like that. I think anyone who ever makes a joke or a strong statement should be forced to meet with every member of the AD and coaching staff face-to-face to really hammer things out, but maybe I'm just old school and/or bat s crazy.

Knott was perfect yesterday.

9/9 on XP, and 1/1 on FG.

Yeah on the above mentioned but Knott had a horrible attempted tackle on his first kickoff for a return to our 2 yardline tha lead to a WKU TD.

Do I expect our kicker to tackle? YES . Everyone should be doing everything they can to get wins...no excuses

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I agree with most of this here and I don't think anyone is calling for a 12 man rotation...but imma pull two lines from above that are kinda contradictory to each other: "Either these young guys are good enough to crack the 8/9 man rotation or they are not." and " if Ross offered him, he must be good." this is basically Ross's roster at this point, and yes, while we're winning games, I haven't seen any world-beaters out there. so if these kids are being given opportunity to win playing time and aren't at least pushing the upperclassmen for minutes, I have questions about our freshmen recruiting...I don't know if they "must be good"

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      I don't see any other option but to root for him... If you fire him now and reset the program again (twice in less then 2 years) then you throw away next season. All the recruiting, and portal momentum, and most of the team will disappear with the coach being fired.

      The Band

      1. Anyone. There is a tryout. 2. No. It is provided by the school. The summer uniform/clothes under the uniform are paid for by the students. 3. Both. Most play on their own instrument. Marching instruments such as the sousaphones, marching baritones, mellophones and drumline are provided by the school. 4. Both. To my understanding. 5. 1 credit 😡 6. Most GB members make up the pep groups but that’s not always the case. *This might be outdated info. Sorry if anyone has other intel.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?
