This was the kickoff returned for a touchdown.

Oh wow. His knee was absolutely down. https://t.co/UHITVrnkaE pic.twitter.com/iD0Cfy9QP6

I'll be damned

I'll be damned

…..so much excitement with the remaining part of the play that it wiped the catch and knee simultaneously happening…..also the times-pic gave the OL’s take away from our DL’s pass tip……the recap brings more frustration and at the same time more hope to the remaining schedule!!!

I’ve looked at this a few times. His knee may have cleared the ground. There is an ever so small line of green there. This game was ours for the taking though.

Crazy JMU scored 70 on UNC and 13 against Gardner Webb the week before.

That does not compute!

Lunch Winfield is out for the year due to shoulder injury. Daniel Beale is QB3.

Lunch had surgery on his elbow....nothing like Tommy John surgery, but enough to keep him out for the season. Got this from Des.

A week latter and this thread has still not watered down . . .

I'd make him QB1. QB1 and QB2 will be gone next year. Let him start learning NOW. Not like this team is a playoff team. Then next year we hot the ground running with a young QB that's worked all the kinks out.

That's not the right call before conference play even starts, IMO. Also, I agree, that's a move that could pay benefits (no doubt) next season, but what about the guys on the team in their last year who want to go bowling? Trust me, going to a bowl game, even another NOLA bowl would be a nice finish to any player's college football career. I know Des will lean in that direction rather than given the true freshman experience this season.

I'm not disagreeing with you as I'd love to see what he can do now, but HC needs to consider the whole team this season. If we lose a couple of conference games early and look to be out of the race to win the west, then he should go with Beale. But even then, Des is so loyal to the guys that have been with him, not sure what he would do.

But, there's absolutely no reason to redshirt any player, anymore.

Jay and CMD Coach's Show was very encouraging last night. You get a glimpse of what make Des such a good football coach, with his brief interaction/discussion with Bill Davis and Jaden Dugger. Very genuine and personable. That's the kind of stuff we can't really see from the stands as fans, that someone like Dr. Maggard sees on a daily basis.

I really hope he can put together a special season for the rest of the season, because I want him to succeed.

Des is a player's coach...this helps and hurts him at times. I do think his team plays hard for him and are motivated by him.

[SlickRick]

Just my viewpoint…not all the PI calls were obvious. So we’ll have to disagree.

Refs didn’t cost us this game, not one single bit.

I agree, refs were decent. May missed the FM call, but that happens a lot.

If we played them again, I'm not putting any money on the game. Overall, they have better talent, especially in the trenches. They have been out recruiting us since CBN left and they were doing at least as well as us ever since Willie Fritz was their coach. The guy that game to them from Georgia southern, not the coach at UH.
