Re: Five Keys to Beating Texas State – From the Bird's Nest
I thought he was intercepted twice, but I look at the box score and see that was not the case. The play with Barnes was the one I thought was not his fault, but there was another play earlier where he scrambled to the left and threw across his body that I thought was intercepted. Maybe the defender dropped it. I may have to go back and watch the video again.
My bad

Anytime a receiver gets both hands on the ball, I don't blame the QB for the interception. It's Barnes job to make the reception at its highest point or knock it down against a 5-10 DB. He threw the ball high where it needed to be placed.

I don't remember another play where he made a really bad decision. I thought Jennings looked pretty good. He didn't make a lot of big plays but he didn't make bad decisions either and he was much more on target than recent weeks. Its just a shame because playing Texas State was just putting a band aid on a major wound. When we get back to playing better teams, our offense will have to be much better if we want to beat people.

Not reading him anymore. I'll listen to him on the radio, when I have to but I'll cringe most of the time.

TxSt and UL essentially a pick it. Vegas does give us a double digit road favorite as they did for App State.
It'll be a dogfight. Just be happy with any win.
You still feel that way?
Re: Five Keys to Beating Texas State – From the Bird's Nest
Yes, I'm just astounded about how bad TxSt offense played. Clearly they've established themselves as the worst offense in FBS. Jones was a pretty good QB in his first three seasons. Did he regress, or is this new coaching stafff that depleted of talent? Sixty-six scholarship players. Ricky Bustle started with forty-eight.
I'm going to refrain from expressing more specific criticism of any individual players.

My God. That offense made ours look like the 2007 Patriots.

I'd prefer to think our defense had more to do with it than you want to give them credit for. We are top 50 in total defense in the country and this has been a trend now through the first half of the season. They are a top 50 passing team and average 24 pts per game so they are capable of putting points up as they have put up over 50 twice I believe.
BTW, their problem is not Jones. He has played well this year. It is their OL. They are one of the worst rushing teams in the country and they clearly have problems in pass protection.

Actually, the way things have worked out this season, Jennings reminds me an awful lot of Haack.

I thought Jennings resembled Haack when Hud pulled him and put Nixon in the game. That did look similar.
