Re: ULM game broadcast
I would say our defense does look unprepared. We seem to have prepared for them to run the ball 99% of the time, as we’re pushing our safeties up and leaving our DBs on an island to cover 1 on 1. And we’re getting completely burned on it every single time (except for the great play on the pick 6). What I don’t understand is why we haven’t yet made any adjustments to stop it.
Give 'em hell!

He’s not. Just started throwing this week. Wasn’t listed on depth chart.app_gorilla wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 8:46 pmIf he's healthy, I'd like to see a lot of Burger in this second half.
CC game would be the earliest we could see him. But no promise of that either.

Re: ULM game broadcast
He was purportedly hurt on the third play of the game. If that is actually true (I have no way to know) then I will cut him some slack and give him some credit for trying to play through the pain. Sure, he didn't look great, it was his first college start AND he was injured so I cut him some slack. I know this much, he won the job which means he at least performed better than Joey in practices AND his father is a football coach and I really like QBs who grew up the football coaching dads. Taylor Lamb wasn't the best qb in the world, but I challenge anyone to find a qb with a better understanding of the game. That goes a long long way to winning games. Again, I just want him healthy to be able to compete for the job as I think that makes everyone better./\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 8:46 pmDid you see something in the GW game before he went down that really shows he's that much better?

The biggest travesty of tonight is that only 50 ULM fans showed up to cheer on their team while they give APP all they can handle. Man that place looks bare.

Re: ULM game broadcast
I don't see all doom and gloom. Offense looks good, Joey made an error but that's not the game. Our secondary needs help. They seem confused on coverage types and assignments. The front is bringing pressure but it falls apart behind them. I'm not sure the answer aside from the DBs hitting their assignments. Maybe pull a WR or two to play defense?
