Official Game Thread: UT-Martin vs. Oklahoma State

Thanks gundy my honey do list expanded because you can’t put together a quality football team

Why did they tell us the competition was neck and neck between these two quarterbacks? There is a drastic difference between the two!

Actually in the end it wasn’t neck and neck, Flores was better all the way through fall camp. However with the concern on the OL Hauss made more sense to start. If the OL comes together and gives Zane time you will see once they open up the playbook.

Where is Rodney Fields? Why is he getting no carries?
He looked better last year than any of these guys do today!

Groin strain, been dealing with it for awhile and should be back soon.

How much can an o-line improve thru the course of a season? How much does the grind of the season erode those gains? And let’s make the assumption the o-line doesn’t have injuries, which I think is unlikely.

My feelings today is that the defense is definitely better, and Grantham is doing a better job than Nardo. But it seems the o-line is still, yet again, unable to run block and this year is almost rinse and repeat from last year.

100%. We suck again. We are playing a
FCS team. This isn’t a quality opponent.

We won and we covered. If you were expecting anything more than that you shouldn’t have considering who we play game two. This was a scrimmage for the team and nothing more.

OL more than any other position needs to gel and work together. A lot of those guys have not been in the program that long (heck Bob didn’t even join the team till June). As long as they stay healthy they will get better. They also have really good coaches working with them.

At least last night it wasn’t really close, and difficult to see that it ever was. It wasn’t just the Oline either, Zane had several missed reads and should have been picked when the game was still tight. Hauss was on point those first 2 drives. Hopefully the Oline will improve and getting all the reps make a difference. What we saw the 2nd quarter on looked pretty much the same as last year, and we know how that turned out.

Stinks. The Injury seems like it takes us from an 8 win season to probably fighting for 4-5. Not because I’m down on Zane but I completely expect Gundy will go ultra conservative to try and protect Zane from injury and not allow him to do things he can.

The season must be over. Day after the opening game and RA is talking softball for an hour.

Thank god.

You do realize that softball just announced their fall schedule right? It's kind of a big thing actually.
