OFFICIAL: SMU vs. SFA Game Thread

[SMUer]

This feed play-by-play is amazing...keep it coming guys.

This game feels good but 112 passing yards 9/19 completion, Sutton with only 22 yards receiving...yeah, not sure I feel like we ticked off all the boxes despite the "blowout."

My stream is now interesting. The video is real time and the voice is a good 20 seconds behind.

Some down-the-depth chart players seeing action at this point for SMU.

Peavey > hicks

Robledo > jo williams

Don't talk to me bout no practice bs

[Rayburn]

Nice TD pass, catch and run. Caught SFA loading up for the run.

Now my stream is running at least 30 second ahead of the voice. Sometimes the voice is 2 plays behind the video.

58/14 SMU. Lots of kids saw action and a ton of matters to address by the staff. Good news is there is speed, athleticism, some depth and prospects for some very good future performances.

The third team WR and 4/5th team RBs have more speed than the starters in June's last year.

Nice won. Definitely nice to see for once we have vastly superior atheletes. And great taht a bunch of kids got some game time. I do beleive we have more talent and depth than we have had in a long time. Not Alabama level but much better than in the past.

Some thoughts:

- Should I be concerned that this thread is only 7 pages? Fans? Hello???
- Jordan Wyatt is a hero. 2 TDs!
- Gotta get the ball to Sutton.
- Braeden and Ke'Mon looked great. Xavier Jones still doesn't look 100%.
- Hicks was meh at 9/19.
- Quinn is amazing as a receiver but it's doesn't look like he's very quick returning punts.
- We still have no burners. I miss Aldrick.
- Josh Williams misses a PAT though that is rare. Is he really better than Robledo?
- Peavey sucks in practice? Don't care. 3/3 110yds 1TD.

- I thought Hicks was poor. Most of his incompletions were just bad passes. If Peavey can be accurate in the games it is time for him to start.
- Gillins was exactly what I observed in practice - he has a really good arm, but his throws are straight. No arc. So if there is a LB he has to throw over, he will get picked.
- DJ's lack of touch eliminates his deep ball, and will eliminate Sutton. SO I think Peavey is next in line to start and wouldn't be surprised to see him get the nod against Wisconsin.
- OL looked good, and played a ton of depth. Howerton was really impressive I thought when he came into the game at center. We won't miss a beat when Brown graduates.
- DL was fantastic. Played a ton of players there. Ton of pressure even with Gary, Lawler, and Mixon playing limited snaps.
- Williams was very good at Will, as was Mitchel at star. Importantly, Robinson looked great as a true freshman, and so did 9. Those guys will play a lot as the season goes along.
- Wyatt was obviously very good, but I was impressed with the safety play. Onu specifically has taken a leadership role out there. McQueen will be very good. Clemons looked big and fast and athletic.
- Two bad kickoff returns, but the rest of the return game we actually defended well. Better than last year, and I expect to see improvement as the season moves forward.
- Punting - wow what an improvement. 50 yard punts that have to be fair caught because the return has players in their face. Night and day.
- The FG was very good - 40 yarder that he hit with barely any effort that went in by a mile. Disappointed with the EP miss as well as a couple of kick offs being low trajectory.

All in all, a very good result, and nice to see us run out in style and take the foot off the gas. Could have been a much bigger score. And a massive improvement over the Liberty game last season.

Peavy easily outclassed Hicks, and did it without the 1st string line I think.

[Stallion]

Are we playing Wisconsin in New Years Bowl?

[Arkpony]

I saw that.

I think this staff has an agenda against Peavy or for Gillins unless they are hiding Raef as a secret
