Norm this morning on the ticket that it was the worst/weirdest 52-0 win there could ever be.

The Lumberjacks would beat Grambling (and their band) by 30. Not saying we should be proud of our offensive sturggles, but its not like we played Grambling.

No TCU fan is excited that we beat Grambling. Just that there were a lot of positives. Completing 17 straight passes is impressive even against air. I agree we have not proven anything...was just listing some things that we did well. We'll have to see if we can keep it up as we take on tougher competition...probably the week after the smu game! :) just joking around...

Doesn't every team in the country know by now that the sure path to success against SMU is the hurry-up offense? And being so, why in God's great name are we not practicing for it!?!

1) Grambling ain't SFA. SFA's a highly regarded team at that level.

2) We only won because of turnovers? Let that sink in a second. Turnovers are good and help you win ballgames. That's like saying, if not for all the touchdowns and field goals, the score wouldn't have been high.

I think it's they were gift wrapped with 2 pieces of chocolate turnovers not actual pressured turnovers. For instance, the punter kicked the ball into the RB [deleted] and we got the ball at like their 30....

That's one play, but nice try.
