FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee(6-3, 5-1) @ UTEP (1-8, 1-4)(ESPN+), 2PM, Saturday, 11/10/2018

[sWiley]

I wouldn’t call this a dog fight. We are dominating other than the coaches decision coupled with some big penalties

Let’s see a bit if it stays this close.

You are right. I had just tuned in. Looking at the stats now. Pretty disappointing we are only ahead by 7.

Kicker has the yips...

Kicker has the yips...

It’s always something with that group.

 

[BRaiderDave]

All state kicker or not, Crews Holt is not getting it done. We need better, more reliable place kicking.

 

[sWiley]

Very nice to see we did not overlook UTEP. UTEP is a very capable team right now who has played nearly everybody tough these last 5-6 weeks. Proud of the staff and boys for going on that long road trip and taking care of business thus far.

Crews Holt needs to man up though.

 

[BigBlueBrad]

Official was choking Render. I would have smacked his hand away as well.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Great catch by Dobson.

Stock is playing like he did a few years ago

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

So we run a fake punt on a 4 and 10. Now up 27-7 with 30 seconds we kick it funky.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

MT- 27
MT coaches - 10

 

[BRaiderDave]

Yeah, and the funky kick cost us three points. I have no idea behind the thought process with this coaching staff.

We try to be too cute. No need against UTEP. There kick returner hasn’t gotten past the 20 yet

 

[MT01]

Should be 31-0. Four major snafus in the MT kicking game. And all 10 points given to UTEP by stupidity. The fake punt and the failed squib.

We don't have enough talent to overcome stupid coaching.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

The first drive coming up is critical. Our D has played great. I don’t think UTEP can score 17 points in a half on is “on their own”

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Crazy good spot for UTEP. I hope they do go for it at 4th and 1.

it's never felt so good to be so wrong.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

More cuteness. 3rd and 1, we line up under center and run a boot leg trying to hit a big play. Just run the effin ball STRAIGHT up

 

[BigBlueBrad]

Wow. Worst case scenario this team will be 7-5. Didn’t see that coming three games into the season.

And what was that on the punt. We are in our own way.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

That’s true. We have got a lot from our talent

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Hold your beer it’s now only 34-18.

 

[BRaiderDave]

This team is so dang difficult to watch.

 

[BRaiderDave]

And now we have to burn the last time out because you can't get a play in. This coaching staff is not OVC level.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

This team is so dang difficult to watch.

They can’t stand success. The timeout drives me crazy

Well I will take an order of crow. Nice play.

 

[BRaiderDave]

I do like Gatlin Casey. Good size and good hands.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

I do like Gatlin Casey. Good size and good hands.

Wish we had him more than one year. I wish they’d recruit a guy like him.

 

[BRaiderDave]

Do you think they should put an ad in the Sidelines for a new kicker?

 

[SCRaider01]

Stockstill has passed Peyton Manning on career passing list.

 

[BigBlueBrad]

48-24

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

48-24

Why do I want us to score one more?

 

[MTLynn]

Two things - MT can't stop the utep TE's and the MT special teams stink

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Well the last two TDS was against our backups. First team is back in

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Back to Back sacks. I want us to still score one more time

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

For once with 3 mins left I’d like to see be able to get a FD.

The road to the CUSA championship game is clear:

1. We beat UAB and FIU lose any of their remaining games.

OR

2. We lose to UAB and FIU loses 2 of their final 3 games.

OR

3. We lose to UAB, FIU loses to Marshall, & Marshall beats UTSA to go with the FIU win.

scenario 1 we host the Championship game. We play at UAB in either of the other scenarios.

I think all these are possible

 

[BigBlueBrad]

Go UTSA!
