UAPB Game Thread

Well maybe that point spread is gonna happen. Maybe we should have kept Brin.

Brin, i'll take cardell anyday!

 

[maverickfp]

kopenski!!

 

[nevadanatural]

We haven't called any timeouts

He didn’t say it was our timeout.

 

[Loca5174]

Williams is 9-9 for 169 yards, 3 TD with a 367.7 RTG

 

[Loca5174]

I was afraid there for a bit that Spurrier wasn't going to let him throw and it would be Chad President part 2

The point of that post is that if we kept Brin, then Braxton would have been sayonara. Had nothing to do with Cardell. He's great.

 

[maverickfp]

so where is presley? thought he was supposed to be our new #1 a la damaris johnson?

 

[URedskin54]

Don’t think I want to write off Braxton for two bad throws against Arkansas Pine-Bluff when I have seen a whole game of him killing Houston

I think he's a little in the dog house on that fumble on the return. Hopefully we'll see him second half.

Got in just as many were melting. It is the first game of the season. We made mistakes but corrected them. Up 28-7. 2 Ints and one fumble and only gave up 7. We have 178 passing (Williams 9 of 9) and 128 rushing with Ford averaging 6.3 per carry and Jackson 9.0. Hopefully I will see some of the third before last flight home. Go TU!

 

[TulsaRising1]

What a freaking amazing band !

Spurrier/Cardell ≠ Monty/President

I agree 100%. He’s still the starter. Cardell beating up on UAPB shouldn’t change that.

That said, I’d be surprised if we see Braxton the rest of this game, even if his ankle is good enough for him to play in the 2nd half, given how well Cardell is playing.

I’m pretty certain that was Ford on the fumble, but the commentators said it was Presley.

And Ole Miss on the road. But this coaching staff has zero connections to that. I think it's fair to say the QB position is at least open for grabs right now.

Original FakeFan disappears about this time, always.

1st standing ovation for a visiting band? They were exceptional.

Can't remember the jersey #, but I thought I saw Presley on it. You may be right though.

I think it was Ford with the fumble, and I thought Presley caught a pass later.

Stats show Ford on fumble

Eh...maybe. I mean if you don't start Cardell next game, then Braxton is on a short leash.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

He wasn't credited with one in Espn's stats. I can't find him anywhere in the stats.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Special Teams has looked VASTLY improved. A lot more speed on coverage.

 

[chito_and_leon]

Can someone please explain why people were freaking out over a bad first quarter with a whole new coaching staff and system?

It was the usual suspects.

Presley has no stats according to the stat tracker

 

[maverickfp]

man, holding blocks just a second longer and our RBs could burst to the 2ndary.

It’s what TU fans do. Wait until basketball season, if we don’t go undefeated it will be worse than that first quarter.

That could be right. I thought the announcers said he had a reception.

 

[nevadanatural]

So far the new punter has been a weapon.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

53 Yd punt after they almost got to Davies!

 

[TU_BLA]

That could be right. I thought the announcers said he had a reception.

I haven't seen him on the field.

The new punter is a beast.

 

[chito_and_leon]

Somehow I continue to be surprised. I'm like the guy in Memento.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

Braxton on the sideline in a boot. He may not be an option next week.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

The starting o-line is practicing on the sideline during the time out. You don’t see that every day.

How's the crowd? Camera isn't really ever showing it in TV

Looked decent in the 1st

Kind of sad for a season opener, but not bad for the opponent. I've seen a lot worse. TV would look great if they filmed from the East side as the west side is filled out pretty well.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

I believe the Pine Bluff band has seen enough. They’re heading out. Nice halftime show!
