FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee at Jacksonville State Game Thread

JSU averaging 8.5 YPC.....

Tre Stewart 210 yards on 21 carries for 10 YPC average.....

They've only completed 10 passes all night... Was there ever a thought to load the box and make them beat us throwing the ball? Put 8 in the box and dare them. There is nothing more maddening than letting a team run wild on you, which unfortunately was quite predictable with this bunch. I really do believe it takes effort to be this bad. Football is not rocket science.

And this coach wants to run a 3-4 base? Boy. We are going to be looking for a new coach in 2-3 years, assuming McPhee doesn't give him a 5 year extension this off season........

We're just bad. Team has no identity or strengths. Throwing it up to Holden Willis and Kelly is flashy but isn't enough to win games. Not even close actually. We need a bigger QB like theirs who can run with some authority. That's what is winning them this game. They're averaging 8.3 YPC to our 3.7. Same story, different day.

Also cannot trade FG's for TD's with a team like this. Should have been going for it on 4th down. Too late now, oh well. It is so painful being a fan of this school

We absolutely, 100% must have a dual threat QB. NV can move a little bit around the pocket and evade a rush, but is ineffective as a running threat.

Personally, I think Jax has the right offense for a school at our level. If you build a high level passing game, the portal will pick it apart. Get yourself a running QB and run the read/option - there's tons of those kids in high schools.

The defense needs more and better players. I am not going to call out #'s, but there have been times where guys are positioned perfectly to make a play, and just can't do it. The strength of the D is the line, and they're just gassed at this point - they don't have 4th quarter depth.
