SMU Game Thread

[TU_BLA]

Nice drive. A whole lot of Atkinson and Lucas and then the curveball with Brewer. Let's hold and get the ball to start the 2nd half

 

[jesterondirt]

The lack of pressure on Hicks has been baffling

 

[jesterondirt]

These refs are atrocious

 

[TulsaGrad07]

Just as you say that Jester, he FINALLY got nailed and sandwiched in the ribs. Let's see more of that!!!

RS Freshman Reggie Robinson with a couple nice plays. He's going to be all conference before his career is over

He's got great closedown speed.

I think this team will play down to competition...hope we play up to competition too.

Less hostile now, still nervous.

Put down the Ponies!

 

[HuffyCane]

Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but the holder for SMU is Sean Tuohy, Jr. If that name sounds familiar, he was portrayed in the movie The Blind Side as the little brother of Michael Oher.

 

[HuffyCane]

Nigel Carter's backup is Broderick Umbalance who is playing defensive.

The lack of pressure on Hicks has been baffling

To be fair Hicks hasn't had the ball for more than 3 seconds except maybe 2-3 times. They're running a lot of 3 step drops with him. SMUs line has been pretty good at picking up the extra blitzer and they are sliding well as a unit. Dalton Parks has put SMU in negative field position pretty much every time he has punted.

Still, we have 100 guys on the sideline tonight. Can we not find someone who can put the damn ball in the endzone on a KO?

 

[Air_Raid918]

He's got great closedown speed.

I remember seeing somewhere he ran a 4.2 or 4.3 forty

 

[Gold*]

Fun game. Don't understand our defense. Morris is a great play caller though. Hopefully the o line injuries and freshman quarterback catch up with them in second half and all their players magically heal next week.

 

[TU 1978]

Except the ESPN announcers say Morris is not calling the plays.

 

[TU 1978]

Nice kickoff return by Taylor. Hope he's ok.

 

[jesterondirt]

That last shot showed his knee clearly down before the fumble

 

[TU 1978]

Evans was down before that 'fumble'.

 

[TU_BLA]

No wonder people don't want to go to games. They wait until after the TV timeout to start play and call for a review. Seriously, games are long enough as it is. Don't wait for TV to come back.

 

[jesterondirt]

We should seriously punt this.

 

[jesterondirt]

I wonder if it will be a direct snap to the kicker

 

[HuffyCane]

That SMU cheerleader needs to spend more than $10 on those hair extensions. I'm she she can afford it or find a guy who can. Those look like she bought them on a corner in south Dallas.

 

[TU 1978]

These officials need to be tackled.

 

[TU_BLA]

So much for momentum...

 

[TU 1978]

MFM

 

[Air_Raid918]

Waste a Timeout to avoid delay penalty, then attempt 50+ yard field goal, only to have it blocked and put them in great field position. Monty is a good coach, but still makes some rookie mistakes.

 

[TU Pilot]

I really hope that whole play up/down to the competition theory is right, because if it isn't, a bowl game is probably out of reach with the way we've played these last two games.

 

[bigzit]

Jones can't hit outside of 45 yards...
Stupid play calling again... You must punt that!

 

[HuffyCane]

I'll take it over calling time out while on defense three plays into the second half on a 2nd and 8 and then giving up a 76 yard pass play. See generally, Graham, T.G.

 

[jesterondirt]

Beautiful touch on that TD pass. They don't all have to be 99 mph fastballs

 

[HuffyCane]

Great pass. When you wonder why the officials call things against Tulsa, Atkinson dropping the ball at the feet of the official instead of handing it to him has a little bit to do with it. Better discipline. It's the little things that win games.

 

[TU 1978]

Finally some pressure on Hicks.

Knowing Atkinson he probably would have done it as a joke that the ref was in on. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever seen. Always smiling, but not someone who's full of himself.

 

[TU 1978]

Offensive line missing assignments.

 

[TU_BLA]

Our offensive line is not good on obvious passing downs. Teams are teeing off on Dane and our line doesn't seem to be able to pick up the extra rusher...ever.

 

[jesterondirt]

Ffs

 

[TU 1978]

These ******** calls have to stop.

 

[TU 1978]

But the crowd is getting into the game now.

 

[BigRedStevo]

That was not a roughing the passer, but that was a late hit on Suits. At least we're smacking people.

 

[HuffyCane]

SMU slowing it down to let their defense rest. The penalties haven't helped. Time for the defense to focus and the offense to grind.

This is where we will shine. Ride Brewer and Flanders, then pop the deep ball.

 

[HuffyCane]

This officiating is a gd farce.
