The complete lack of a running game is astounding. In what universe do we rush for 19 motherfucking yards? The OL is a clusterfuck of talent and skill deficiencies.
Running Boobie out as a hobbled decoy behind that sieve? Cruel and unusual.
The officiating was, again, garbage. The phantom PI and ensuing phantom touchdown left me speechless for a solid 22 seconds. Then I promptly returned to explaining to the ref exactly how he could remove and consume his own shriveled manhood.
Ryan Davis is too experienced to field that fucking ball on the two...but Imma let that slide given his electric receptions and touchdown throw. Fuck it, let's Nick Marshall the offense with RD.
It was shocking, at first, to see the ball thrown accurately...to a receiver who caught the ball with his hands, often over/around coverage. I'm not sure what happened towards the end of the 3rd quarter, but something shifted from a concentration/focus perspective. The execution improved dramatically and there finally seemed to be a sense of urgency on the offensive side of the ball.
The defense deserves kudos for playing at a high level despite getting zero assistance from the other half of their team. They played hard and I noticed a lot of underclassmen playing. Some of them may have played some previously, but today was the first day that I consistently saw guys like Miller, Tutt, and Wooten. They struggled with Williams, but nearly everyone does.
The secondary is starting to develop an attitude with Thomas and Dinson forming a fucking nasty duo. It looked like they heard the entire A&M WR corps had been talking shit about their grandmas. I'm positively shocked that neither caught a targeting call yesterday. Not because I believe they were targeting, but the enforcement of that rule has come to mean that it's called when "the hit looks aggressive and the crowd roars."
All in all, a lucky win. Without the early turnover and short-field touchdown, the offense might not have had enough time to find its groove and post the comeback. This shit will obviously not be successful against UGA or Bama and, if they fiddle-fuck around too long, might not not beat Liberty.
