FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee (3-3, 1-1) @ UAB (3-2, 1-1)(BeIN), 5:30PM, Saturday, October 14, 2017

Everybody has injuries at this level JT. Memphis has been off 8 or 9 starters every game for various injuries. Two are out for the year. Mostly on defense. The leading pass defender is a true freshman from Stratford. He has three pics this year. The kid from MUS who pick sixed UCLA is a redshirt freshman LB. If the star QB doesn't turn the ball over three times early vs UCF, it's a completely different ball game and the Tigers are maybe 5-0. The difference I see vs. MT is recruiting and coaching.
And I'm totally cool with that. It's just not for me. I think if I could rephrase the message I want to convey it is this. If you want the community at large to attend, give them tickets at a price the casual fan or alum can't ignore. Of course once again, we are the choir, so I need not preach. I'll see you folks next Friday.
If UM's QB, top WR, and starting RB were out, UM would be 3-3 right now or worse. Bottom line.
Yep, while everyone has injuries no one who has multiple key injuries is going to win every game, especially at all the skill positions - Geez, QB, top 2 RBs, #1 and # 3 WR, top O lineman.
If you go and pull up a JUCO's high school tape and then go to your OC and work him into the game plan and then he gets 3 TD's, you can obviously coach and yeah, you want to win. I'm not defending TF or the fact that they got Richie and Brent hurt in the first place but I know that if they are trying to be creative, at least they are trying and I give them props for that.
While I think it will be a close game, no way UAB scores 35 points, unless we turn it over multiple times. I am thinking for a 24-21 game.
It’s been one qtr. we are in the led for the moment. Give it a rest. AJ is 23 years old with a lot more experience.
Indeed. Unfortunately, for us he's down there on the field wearing a T-shirt today.
Which is the norm for him. I'd take AJ and his steady health and steady hand all day long over Urzua and Stockstill.
UAB must have spent the last two years stockpiling linemen on both sides of the ball. We, on the other hand, apparently have not.
Yeah. I'm an idiot for wanting a QB who can stay healthy and also be effective both on the ground and through the air. Such an idiot. You're right, the guy who can't stay healthy but played well 2 years ago is for sure the way to go.
It's not like games are lost and won in the trenches or anything. Lets sign more WR's
