Absolute no brainer! Help ya QB out by using his big target. Were we just scrimmaging tonight?

Never know what's going to happen in football. Early last year a MT team that had just been destroyed in its 1st game played a Missouri team to the bitter end. Everyone thought that Mizzou team would probably be a sub par lower tier FBS school after barely surviving us. Ultimately that same Mizzou team went on to win 11 games & beat Ohio St in the Cotton Bowl.
Other words, yes we looked pretty bad in victory tonight, which is what I'm sure Mizzou said after surviving lower division Middle Tennessee. Hopefully we can have a similar mind set. As rough as it looked, take the victory & move on. Try to learn from it, you never know how a year will turn out.

Tough game for sure, but I'm not in complete disarray yet. The weather was atrocious and the start time delayed by 2 hrs 40 mins; that almost always benefits the underdog by making the playing field more level. Honestly, the WKU game will be the big answer to how this season will go, in my opinion.

Conner has said for a while now that the WKU game will also be the tell-tale game of the season. I would agree with both of you

Vandy is built with several CUSA players and Jerry Kill.

Can't do much about the players we have now. Play calling has to get better.

I 100% agree. We don’t have the talent upfront on the line to just bull doze through cats.

We lost a lot from a 4 win team last year, I have no reason for high expectations. I sat through Boots' first two seasons, where I waited for a first win til the last game of his first season and wins 2 and 3 til the last two games of his second season. And IIRC, MT lost to tech in the last game of his 4th season that denied MT a conference championship.

Gutted out the win. Whew!

this is what happens when you have over 30 new transfers in. It will take time to gel. I’m willing to be patient. If we thought this thing wasn’t a rebuild then were kidding ourselves.

Glad we pulled it out. The reality was that we were gassed. The delay didn't help at all and we ran out of juice. The OC has to make Kelly the main part of the O. Stupid to not setup deep routes for him all game. Also, running Frank at the end was a great setup play. Find that faster. Ole Miss will be tough but WKU got smaked worse than we did by BAMA last year so I'm ok with it.

Crazy FCS weekend. Idaho kept #3 Oregon on the ropes till the 4th. Abilene took TX Tech to OT, SEMO covered vs NMSU.

TX St who many have as the G5 champ was 33pt favorite over Lamar. They only won by 7.

Liberty was 40pt fav over Campbell and only won by 17.

I’ll take the W but DAMN they have to get it together! Ole Miss, Duke, Memphis, THEY ARE COMING!

Ole miss gonna have 10 sacks next week

I feel like most MT teams would have folded there so it is nice to see we didn’t fold when that happened.

I'm just glad it is not a JMU like result.

Pretty sure the defense collapsed like a house of cards in the 4th qtr.
