Can we start Taylor over Thompson? Thompson has never really shown me anything. I guess he's fast, but he just seems to lack any fire/toughness IMHO.

Did Zelt play? If not, why not? Are we expecting to redshirt him?

What happened with Ashcraft? I didn't see him except maybe one play? Did he start? How did he look?

For the love of SMU, can someone PLEASE find something on Rambo?!? He's the most valuable player on this team IMHO. Really need to know how bad his injury really is.

Can we start JR over Parks?

JR will start in the next couple of games, I predict.

Taylor is playing behind Holman, not Thompson. I wish there could be a switch there, but I don't think it will happen.

Minor did not play and they are trying to redshirt because of depth on the line.

They announced Ashcraft as a starter, but I looked at the recording, and he didn't start the game at all. He may be hurt.

I don't think Minor played at all. He was standing in front of my section most of the game, helmet off and perfectly clean uniform.

Why would they wait on starting JR?? Tech constantly went at Parks. When JR came in for the play Parks was hurt he made a great deflection in end zone. Parks comes back in the next play and surprise...TD on Parks.

I was shocked when they announced Parks over JR. Parks was absolutely terrible last year and got burned repeatedly. But, I decided the staff knows more than me so there must be a reason. Perhaps a huge improvement out of Parks and maybe Richardson had not fully recovered? But no, the staff made a mistake starting him over JR that every fan watching last year could have told you was dumb.

Has Chris Park ever been more than an impressive-looking liability. I feel like our opponents all excitedly text each other "whoa, throw at #1". I want to like him but beyond effort, he has shown me nothing. Unbelievable that he's our best right DB.
