Our DL misses Will Morgan. Hoping he is back after the bye week. On rc's comment about Mansell overthrowing receivers, I thought one of the overthrows was on purpose because defenders were closing in. Maybe not?

I think he threw that one away, but he was still off target on a couple of others. Hopefully he can improve on that.

Without major improvements on both sides of the ball, we MIGHT beat Tarleton but I don't see us beating SFA or Jacksonville. I just didn't see any signs of a team hungry to win. Very disappointed in today's game even if we did get the win. I was fairly optimistic earlier in the season but am losing that optimism quickly. I agree we will definitely not be favored, but we have the potential to beat SFA or Jacksonville St if we play our best game. I am guessing our final record will be 5-6. IF we get there, two of those wins are vs. a Div.2 and an NAIA team.

It seems he has been thrust into doing more running but if he focused on the passing as well, I think he can be quite effective. In other words, I don't think we are risking all that much having to go with Mansell. I am more worried about injuries in general -- we have a lot of them including linebacker and linemen. Maybe everyone does by mid season.

Tarleton over Dixie 31-13 at half. Dixie is probably about like Lamar or a little worse. Tarleton and ACU probably pretty even.

If the play from last week continues, John David Baker should be head coach next season. I’m not sure we could afford him. Baker’s mentor was Graham Harrell, who is rumored to be first in line for job should NTSU fire Seth Littrell. It’s not much if a stretch to assume Harrell would want John David Baker as his OC. If not there, Baker will likely have other FBS opportunities. His current boss Jeff Lebby has bern mentioned as a candidate for a P5 or good G5 job.

I think we were very fortunate and lucky to win this game. Lamar shot themselves in the foot with a couple of penalties, otherwise they had the momentum through the 4th quarter, in my opinion. I’m not anything near a football strategist, but it seemed to me that our offensive plays were composed of a sweep, pass to the flat, handoff up the middle and quarterback run. We may have one the final game for the season.
Do we have confirmation Earle has a broken leg?

We may have one the final game for the season. Do we have confirmation Earle has a broken leg? Agree with your assessment. I am not sure what confirmation we will get on Stone. I was trying to be sensitive and and careful with my reporting, but I talked directly with the family and it is a broken leg and the initial report was out for 6 weeks. The phrase "I believe" came from me giving leeway for my hearing of Fibula or Tibia and not indirect discussions; but I think 6 weeks is more indicative of Fibula. We discussed that he is out for the season. My wording that Stone has a good head on his shoulders was just hearing how he was initially handling it. He is a great kid and I believe should be able to handle the rehab well. I look forward to seeing Stone 2.0 if you forgive my analogies. We are lucky to have Peyton who can step in. Even though I have my good and bad assessments, he carries a maturity that will work in our favor.

Anyone know why our website isn't listing our 2nd game with Lamar as a WAC game and still has us as 0-0 in conference play?

Not sure but if you look at the WAC website standings, we are 1-0 in conference. They are counting only the second Lamar game as a WAC conference win. UCA and EKU are AQ7 but not WAC.

Thanks, I knew that 2nd Lamar game was a conference game, which made me winder why we hadn't updated our website.
