Lunch

[Swamp]

Watch these highlights until the end, Daniel Beale comes up to Lunch and hugs him, the first words out of Lunch's mouth are, "I love you, bro". That is awesome, the guy who got benched celebrating with the guy who willed a team to victory, and they both are supporting each other. This could have been a time where Beale could have been angry with the benching or Lunch could have made it about himself, neither did, they both know that they are not bigger than the team. Great moment, that is about leadership and support right there. Proud of both young men and how they reacted to this situation.

@ 5:25 minutes in, WH sighting, appears to be recovering well.

Pretty awesome highlights I was trying to remember the score progression as they played

I mean from my outside perspective, it seems like coaching malpractice. And I really like Des. Beale has never shown anything promising in a game. Big credit to Lunch being ready.

And until this Saturday, neither had Lunch

[CharlieK]

Coaches historically credit players when the team wins and bears responsibility when the team loses.

Obviously I’m not talking about what the coach says.

And until this Saturday, neither had Lunch

The 3rd and 13 completion to Robertson for 16 yards on the drive that tied the score at 34 was significant for Lunch. It was the first completion for positive yards in his college career. He had one completion for negative yards at Missouri prior to that. Therefore, the point that he had not shown anything prior to Saturday is valid. That got him going as the long pass to Robertson followed shortly thereafter. That situation reminds me of a basketball player who makes a free throw and suddenly starts hitting from the field. Seeing the ball go in just causes a positive mentality shift. Same thing could have happened to Lunch after his first completion. Now he may play confidently going forward as he will not have to worry about getting pulled. That allows you to get into a rhythm.

He sure did settle in after that. The two TD passes were beautiful, as pretty as they could have been.

5 TD in the second half for the 20T W.

Excellent work.

What is his injury?

[HoustonCajun]

I said several things like that, which are true. Lunch willed that win on his own. Reminded me of Vince Young getting a win against USC by shear will, his. Do not mistake his outstanding performance, we were lucky. All the deficiencies that we suffer from are still there.

Great to see Lunch perform and lead us going forward.

But, we gave up 51 points. Our defense is really suspect. Our D Line gets pushed around, our LB seem to be always out of position and DB are missing tackles.

Our DC needs to get his sheet together.

These are the words I have after watching his performance in the 2nd half:

…

What we have here is a "60 minute LUNCH TIME"
