I missed this yesterday:

At this point, SMU is trying everything: Just ask coach June Jones. "I thought keeping it pretty simple for the quarterback we would move the ball more efficiently but we fell well short of that."

Should we read anything into the fact that JJ refers to BLM as "the quarterback" as opposed to by name? Maybe not so much that he's going to switch him out, but perhaps a nod to StallionsModelT who suggests the coaches perhaps are somewhat taken aback by how "sensationally terrible" (I love that term, SMT) we are.

I'm starting to think that JJ really thought BLM would be the exception to the rule with true freshmen QBs. Somewhere else I read where he said BLM had the best arm, best accuracy out of all the film he'd seen.

Maybe he should have gone to see him in person.

you honestly think that Jones expected a true FR to come in here and master this offense in 4 games?

I'm sure he had hoped for more than what he has seen, but like he says...the competition has had a lot to say about that.

Top 25...right? And light years to go!

no, and I also don't honestly think Jones felt that JW was the 4th best qb on the team.

What's truly sad is I'm glad we don't have any more games against D1AA schools b/c I don't think we'd win. At least we will lose only to D1A schools. Ahhh we set the bar so high at SMU.

i sure wish we had another one against an FCS. sure would get this offense jump started again
