Scattershooting

Pregame lineup on scoreboard had Sanders and Robinson starting. Way to get my hopes up.

Why was McCann dressed out on the sidelines but not playing?

For the 3rd week I ask, "Where is Odiari? Is he still on the team?

Was it a signal that the 5 captains on the coin toss were all true freshmen?

Was it necessary to sit Henderson on the KO return after he got the record?(another signal?)

Young Mr. Bell: Thank you for your fire, but never hit an official. Apologize, take your punishment, and come back better than ever. I figure if felons, drug abusers, can play for their teams, Bell deserves to come back, and prove his worth.

Glad this year is behind us. We were young, small, slow, weak and inexperienced. So we have plenty of room to improve. I suspect JJ will recruit players that can be competitive from the start and some of those slow, weak, small players will see this season as the zenith of their careers.

Once again, we made stupid mistakes in coverage, had too many turnovers and made stupid penalty after stupid penalty. That has to be improved.

This will be JJ's first real recruiting class. It will be interesting to see how well he does.

As long as we are scattershooting, I thought the call to run the ball on 3rd and 16 was the worst call of the game. Friggin nonsense.

It sounded like this was our most determined effort of the year to establish the run. Wonder if JJ was setting up something for next year or trying to keep BLM from getting hit.

I'm very surprised we don't have a commitment from a RB? Maybe JJ is banking on Lawrence (Rockwall-Heath)??

Running back is needed, but most importantly is the OL which is being addressed.

true. 7 of our 19 commits are OL ( two are 3-stars).

Also, I guess McDade (3 star/Ennis) might have been recruited as a RB...he had 22 TD playing RB as a JR, but has primarily played WR as a senior.

McDade played QB as a Junior

I just noticed that...I thought Ennis was a pass happy offense but it looks like he rarely threw the ball as a JR. I guess when Harrell left they had to change the offense.

Stallion, did JJ recruit him as a RB or WR?
