FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee (4-3; 3-1) @ ODU (2-6; 1-4) (ESPN+), 2:30PM, Saturday, October 27, 2018

What a catch by Smith.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

I think we should try to run on first and goal.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Seen this before.

 

[Blue_H]

Why the heck did we do nothing but attempt passes from the 1 yard line?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[lightningsig]

I have never seen a worse broadcast. ESPN should be ashamed to associate themselves with this quality. Especially behind a paywall.

 

[TrueBlue147]

What are we doing with our goal line offense???? Where is Thomas our big RB?

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

My steam froze

 

[MTOleBlue]

TERRIBLE camera work by ODU - it's not an ESPN crew necessarily, they broadcast using ODU's feed. With that out of the way, Brent's made a lot of freshman mistakes already this game. Multiple sacks on the first drive, standing in the pocket, looking totally confused on 1st and 2 from the 2, a few near interceptions... Gotta have some consistency. At least we got three points on the first drive.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

What are we doing with our goal line offense???? Where is Thomas our big RB?

We are trying to trick them obviously.

 

[TrueBlue147]

Is Thomas injured?

 

[Blue_H]

It would have been the perfect opportunity to jumpstart/confidence boost to the rushing game to have 3 tries to punch it in from the 1.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

One play RUSH

 

[MTOleBlue]

TOUCHDOWN on our first REAL RUN. About time

 

[Blue_H]

.....or we could totally redeem ourselves in the running game like that!!!!

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Not safe to play Safety for MT

 

[TrueBlue147]

Nice run!

 

[MTOleBlue]

LOL intentional grounding, nice. Threw at the feet of defender. ODU really getting in their own way

 

[MTOleBlue]

#4 needs to get his head in the game. Stop play fighting

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Have we scored this many points in the first Q this year?

 

[TrueBlue147]

Have we scored this many points in the first Q this year?

Probably not. We are ODU's kryptonite

 

[MTOleBlue]

Have we scored this many points in the first Q this year?

Nope this is the most

I've spent most of the first quarter with the streaming frozen.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

I don’t understand our offensive calls. The penalty hurt but after we miss a wide open Lee to make it Third and short we throw a quick pass for a 5 yard play creating a long FG try.

 

[MTBlueMan]

The feed for me is fine, just horrying production quality. Good for the weekend before Halloween, I guess...

I did and then signed up for ESPN+ and the stream has been perfect. Remind for to cancel

Exactly. That's outside of Holt's range even if we'd of managed to cut the 1st down yardage in half. I don't know why we didn't try to drag a receiver over the middle to try and set up a more manageable 4th down. I think we all knew Holt probably wasn't going toale that one.

 

[MTBlueMan]

How in the world, in 2018, is there no down & distance on the on-screen scoreboard?

Dude, you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit. This is G5 FB!

 

[MTOleBlue]

How in the world, in 2018, is there no down & distance on the on-screen scoreboard?

Or at least a play clock...

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

We lined up under center!

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

D needs to hold before the half.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

D needs to hold before the half.

Wishful thinking.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Very silly penalty. Giving them a free red zone trip.

 

[MTOleBlue]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW LOL

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

D needs to hold before the half.

Wishful thinking.

Huge turnover

I was yelling when we missed the sack then joy!

 

[MTOleBlue]

That's the second time that Stockstill has just fallen over after handing the ball off. Sure doesn't look like he's 100% today.

 

[TrueBlue147]

We had 1:48 with three time outs and were running the clock out?!?!?

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

We had 1:48 with three time outs and were running the clock out?!?!?

Because we play afraid

 

[MTOleBlue]

We had 1:48 with three time outs and were running the clock out?!?!?

Who is our head coach? There's your answer.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

They are moving the ball and they get the ball to start the 3rd q.
