We need to talk more about how good Blankenship is..... Legit

 

[sWiley]

If we can get out of this half with a lead I'll be very happy

 

[sWiley]

ugh......


TD FIU...

They are gonna wear our defense down.

 

[sWiley]

He just got burned for 6 ...

 

[RaiderDawg78]

He just got burned for 6 ...

Yep really bad positioning and angle on that TD.

Another point - why are we showing so much more zone on 3rd and long? We are at our best getting after the QB.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Well that coverage package was suspect. We blitzed when we should have stayed in base.

 

[sWiley]

were screwed. stockstill still out. has to be serious injury

i swear we are straight FVCKING CURSED

 

[BigBlueBrad]

FUBO link works great! O’Hara is much better than Uzura. Good legs and had directed two scoring drives!

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Uh. I like this kid.

 

[sWiley]

thank god ohara can play. his confidence has to be sky high right now. great stuff

 

[blueraiderJT]

Wooooooh! OHara is playing like a man!

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

We get the ball to start the 2nd half

 

[RaiderDawg78]

I am damn impressed with change in TF's play calling. He has called a completely different run first offense, included using motion into essentially a flexbone option.

MT is essentially a shotgun wing-T running team now and I like it.

 

[sWiley]

i do miss the dual threat QB like we used to have with Dasher. Franklin's offense really opens up with a runner at QB. If Ohara can throw the ball consistently we might have something special here

 

[BigBlueBrad]

Remember the Tavares Thomas show last year vs FIU? He ran all over FIU.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Our D needs to get to their QB in the 2nd half

 

[sWiley]

Sure would like to know what happened to Brent

 

[MTLynn]

The MT corners look rough... thank Randolph for the FIU field goal

 

[Blue_H]

I was watching on BeIn, and the defender grabbed Stock's ankel/foot VERY late and caused him to fall while holding it. Looked pretty cheap. Supposedly his return is "probable". So frustrating. Always a cheap shot.

Hopefully just a sprain or twisted ankle and not the achilles.

 

[RaiderDoug]

Just tuned in, who the hell is O"Hara and he looks like he's 12.

Also Brent's hurt again? What's next - the sun rises in the east?

Stock is hurt

Tell me about it......

TF's QB's in his system, since he began coaching in college, going all the way back to his Kentucky days, had NEVER been hurt until Brent was injured.

So like, 20 years of calling plays and being an OC and Franklin never had his QB injured.

Then TF meets Brent and I don't think Brent has finished a season without injury under him.....

I'm 10000% convinced we are cursed.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Another good drive! Who knows.

 

[sWiley]

Good news:

Asher O'Hara can play. Not all hope is lost.

Our defense needs to really step up here in the second half and shut FIU down.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

I think our run game will open up passing lanes.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Moffit May be gone

 

[sWiley]

So many stupid penalties....

Moffit's 100% gone. Can't hit QB in the head

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

He will not be playing next week

 

[MTLynn]

The MT defense is doing their best to keep FIU in the game

 

[TrueBlue147]

Flag should have never been thrown,

 

[sWiley]

The MT defense is doing their best to keep FIU in the game

Yep. 15 yarder after 15 yarder on 3rd down.

What's that, 3 15 yarders on this drive alone?

 

[sWiley]

And we just lost arguably our best player on defense. Moffit is a tackling machine.

We are thin at safety. I have zero confidence in our back up safeties.

 

[Blue_H]

Should have let it go to make it even for that one FIU got away with on Brent's ankle.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Finally, a sack!

And I am sick of the love fest of the announcers for FIU. We are winning the effing game

 

[MTLynn]

feel lucky to get out of that with a missed FG

 

[Blue_H]

The announcers actually said "It's been all FIU so far." They are terrible. They don't even know the rules. Amatuer hour.

Finally, a sack!

And I am sick of the love fest of the announcers for FIU. We are winning the effing game

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Why do we keep letting their WR get behind us.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

We need to stop them here and get the ball and drain some clock.

 

[TrueBlue147]

Finally, a sack!

Yeah, not understanding all the love for FIU. What have they even done so far? We are down are starting QB and one of our best defensive players has been ejected and were still winning.
