Woods & Batch!
Setting the tempo – very nice consecutive 1st downs.
by djollie111 on Oct 4, 2008 2:39 PM CDT 0 recs
they’re in a 4 man front, 7 in the box, and running the ball is eaaasy.

TD!!! 7-0 two minutes in!
Nice play by Leong after dropping the previous ball.

When was the last time
we opened with that many consecutive runs? 1997?

If we can run at will like that, I saw we do it allllll day long.

very very very conservative defense. also linebackers on their slot receiver
secondary just giving them wiiiide open zone.

mcneill is going to
have to adjust otherwise it could be a long day.

They could at least TRY a blitz to see what happens. Interesting to see if he goes that route.

KSU O-line
Was really not providing that great of protection. That was Freeman getting rid of the ball quickly.
by NM99 on Oct 4, 2008 2:53 PM CDT 0 recs
yup. there were NO defenders anywhere near the receivers on that drive.

Reed shaken up
had some trouble on the next play…hope he’s ok

I am loving this running aspect of our game. It seems purposeful instead of an afterthought. Great, great looks for Tech.

I hope Prince calls a blitz every play the rest of the game…this could get ugly if he does. Hasn’t worked hardly a lick yet.

it’s caused 2 incompletions and forced TTU into a dink and dunk game. we had 3 3rd downs to convert.

Considering the number of plays we’ve run, I’d say it’s not working : )

by my count, that
was a 16 play drive, including penalty plays, against the wind.
Go Raiders . . .

GH is floating
balls outside, and that’s still worrisome, wonder if that’s a result of the wind.

1st 3rd down we’ve forced.
receiver was wide open, though.

I don’t understand this pass defense scheme at all

against wall.
wall has been beaten up a few times so far.

Now we can get a little score separation if we stay on track.
by Tech92 on Oct 4, 2008 3:11 PM CDT 0 recs
unreal – and put the defense in an awful position

and why does our scat back have the ball. batch has the strength to get that over.
also wall beaten again.

Exactly
If you are going to go for it with that little distance, either sneak it or run the big guy up the gut. Get it on th epush.

1st quarter thoughts:
offense: we’re killing ourselves if we don’t score on an offensive possession.
defense: Wall specifically and the rest of the corners/safeties in general are being mauled in coverage.

Our coach gets in as much trouble as he bails us out. That was just a bad decision compounded by a terrible play call.
by Tech92 on Oct 4, 2008 3:19 PM CDT 0 recs
yes. this is why mike will probably not find himself anywhere except TTU.

I understand going for it, given the wind, but it was the wrong play. I think they were really hoping they would jump offsides.

That mentality was good when we were a 7-6 underdog team that had nothing to lose. Leach needs to pull his head out of his ass and realize when you have a lead you don’t go for it on 4th in your own effing territory.

he was down. nice hold on that play: the defender tackled marlon williams.
