OFFICIAL: SMU vs. NTSU Game Thread

Why are starters in?!

we might Aggie ourselves...that's why...

We can't get more than 3 yards on 3 straight run plays against this team? O line is playing terrible. Natour is getting his [deleted] whipped on every play. I've been watching the O line closely and he is playing terrible specifically. We HAVE to run the ball better, especially against a team like this. Need B West back.

This is the time in the game when a superior team just wears out the other team at the line of scrimmage and blows them off. Our O line seems to be regressing. They are better than this. Very disappointing.

We won, ojai. Haha. Wow

[Mustangs35SMU]

Thank god that's finally over.

In the end, 2-0 is 2-0 and I'll take it.

[ojaipony]

Yes, we won. We should have. It's NTSU. Happy for it. But if we want to beat more than just Tulane the rest of the way, our Oline has to play better and so does our defense. And Hicks still is not the answer. I think it's time to start Gillens. Sutton is good for 1-2 single handed wins a year. This was 1. Quinn played very well also. I think I've been underestimating B West. Hope he's ok.

UNT came out fired up and our guys had an early gut check tonight and you have to love the way they responded. Nice easy win and a lot of guys got to play. Next week should be intense.

Ojai, I agree that <100 on 34 carries is not going to win against TCU, or many other opponents for that matter. We are 2-0...and the coaches have something to work the players over on.

Now it is about health...hoping that arm is alright.

Once again ESPN provided a terrible stream for me. I missed at least 35% of the action with freezing despite the voice continuing on real time. I tried 3 different devices and none worked. In addition, when I tried switching browsers I got notices on Explorer that they did not process this feed. I guess this is better than some illegal European as site in the past, but not much better. ESPN is simply terrible.

Couple of observations; our D line seldom if ever got their hands up on passing plays; on kick offs the team appears to place one player on the goal line and if the ball is going into the end zone it will not be touched or returned; our QB situation is improving but not enough to win big games.

My ESPN feed was a 100% on the West Coast. No problems at all, unlike last week.

Ponies!

I will be surprised if Hicks passing percentage rises over 50 percent (again!). He is not the QB of the future for SMU.
