80 people on line for the game...interest in SMU football is picking up. What's the record for number of users on line at one time?

[gostangs]

why wont he play fields with line out? Time to see what he can do. He can block also.

[gostangs]

didnt we beat that record already and then it got blackballed by something?

If Zach gets going and there is no reason to think he won't, this game becomes really opens up for us.

alright guys...we need 25 more pages in this half to beat the 64 page record. its very doable. cutter im looking at you.

lol.....I'm figuring it you would just post your 100 or so more, that would do it.

we need to jump on these guys hard right out of the chute - we tend to let teams back in it on the road.

Yeah, I'm glad Line is back so these short yardage situations will get a lot more favorable for us. If he had played the entire 1st half then we'd be up at least 21-3.

He would have had 100 yards in the first half. Rice's run D is not good at all.

actually, we're ahead of halftime last week.

I missed almost the whole first half because I thought the game started at 7...Sterling returned one? Was it sweet?

In the pregame talk Jones said Butler would start and Line would play. When asked about "the freshman" Jones said something to the effect that Butler and Line would handle it. I do not think the kids have their blocking down yet.

if you read my posts on this thread you will have the entire play by play, yes the return was awesome.

Almost identical to last week except he made it in, barely.

[WorldlyStang]

I'm just really hoping that Margus is ready to go for us.
