Final: Texas St (27) vs Louisiana (49)

[Turbine]

Haack can't catch it himself

By the coaches being wishy-washy a reciever could conclude he had the ability to influence.

Why so many of yall have to be so negative on here.I mean we won the game and we played good give the guys some credit

Because we know how easily that team could have beat us...and we know how awful that team we just beat is. This is not rocket science.

Nixon's passing improved. Our receivers were locked in. Thought the TX St QB was wildly inaccurate most of the game, missing open receivers.

Stop all the ____ing short kicks, it is going to kill us.

Kick the ball out of bounds if you want a short kick. At least they get in on their 35, not the 45.

I sure loved the way riles was running with the ball last night. He definitely took out his anger on some of the texas state defenders

We need to give our players credit for playing as well as the coaching limits them... and be glad we won. I still see bigger coaching flaws than player personnel flaws. But we played a weaker opponent and our players were able to get into a fun, dominate second half. Mentally, they needed and deserved it.

Either QB could have won the game tonight. I think Nixon did a great job, and deserves the nod going forward. It isn't that I think he's better than Haack (I seriously don't know) but with the confidence this start should give him, we need someone that plays confidently going forward. We will play SBC teams that are much better than Tx St.

I saw both great defensive effort and some breakdowns last night. But we seemed to fly to the ball in the second half. We can't lose coverages as often against the better SBC teams. Tx St wasn't that challenging of an offense.

It was a good win and some good medicine for the team (players).

I think we played with some emotion and after shaking off a slow start the whole team seemed to get into the action in the 2nd half. Nixon played well, I like that he did not throw any INT's, and showed some good decision making. The running game was effective and with some good catching by the WR's we actually had an offense. The defense played well bringing some pressure on the QB, I would like to see them catch some of those near interceptions. Most of us predicted we would look better against Tx St and we did. I wish we could look like that against better teams. I'm happy for the players getting the win.

Coaches quit with him already. Tit for tat.

That's a great approach. Tell him to act like Ryan Mallett, it'll get him far.

Yea man, Riles looked great. Was playing like a bruiser last night. Gabe played extremely well too. And Jamal finally played like he's capable.

We have some serious weapons on O. That's for sure
