1. KState can’t stop the run, so Moorhead just keeps running it. Doesn’t feel the need to play with his other toys just because he has them.

2. Moorhead keeps giving Kylin Hill the ball, even though he’s over 200 yards. Remember when Mullen wouldn’t give it to JRob when he had a shot at 200?

What other shiny toy does Moorhead have? We're a one dimensional offense. We're damn good at that one dimension, thankfully.

Aeris, Guidry, Austin Williams, the big TE’s, and even running Fitz for that matter. I thought once it became clear Kylin was hot Moorhead made the decision to feed him the ball as much as possible.

My comment, however, was more directed at Mullen’s tendency to change it up for the sake of change. We’d often get a drive rolling with the run behind the OL just blowing people up, and Mullen would feel the need to get cute. At least that’s how I remember it.

yeah, that's kind of what i thought too. Moorhead showed some stubbornness of his own today. you can wrap it up to keep trying the pass to keep practicing at it and trying to get better, but there were times I thought he tried to mix it up and pass when we could have and probably should have just rammed it down there throats. There were a few times I said watching the game that he got a little cute with his play calls instead of just take what the defense is giving you and run it.

The big difference for me between Mullen and Moorhead is that I hate mullen's 17ing guts.

Nick is at his best throwing at receivers running crosses and drags. We didn't do much of that today, although Moorhead has a lot of that in the playbook. I think he's still being conservative with his playcalling.

Nick hit Guidry on a crossing route early in the game that was a really nice throw and chunk of yardage.

I’ll be honest. I’m going to be pulling for Kentucky tonight about as hard as I’m rooting for SIU right now

I really like what I have seen from Dontea Jones and Justin Johnson at TE. Guidry has been able to get open deep. Need more production from the slot and need Mitchell to keep developing at the other outside spot.

We're going to be more run than pass but Fitz will improve from this game to the next. He's no Peyton Manning but I believe he's going to have a better showing going forward after some rusts shakes off. Some short and medium passes he missed today he normally would have hit that he didn't today... hoping I'm right...

Maybe Moorhead is smart enough to know that just being a damn good running team,won't be enough in two or three games this year, and he wants to work on passing during games.
