Discuss it here.
I was hoping that was all just a nightmare. Thought I would wake up this morning to read about a big win.
Both losses in part due to bad big moments play calling.
Even SFA is wondering how in the world did they lose to these bums!
Serious question. Will we even beat Charlotte?Quote:

I'm surprised by this result. But clearly Charlotte has something under the hood, capable of having a big game. They will steamroll us.Quote:

What a mistake.
Two thoughts. Will Healy must be saying where did this come from?Quote:

Sonny Cumbie: "There's still lot to play for and we have every opportunity to win. We're going to find a way to win next week against a good Middle Tennessee team."
Talking about winning and no mention of "competing". There is improvement.Quote:

I’m cautiously optimistic that Cumbie can get some talent in Ruston and turn this thing around. We need a class loaded with defensive players.
Tech can play with the Blue Raiders if it can defend against the home run ball. Concerned right now to see who will be able to go at receiver spots.Quote:

Those are the biggest gifts to the opposition lately since the turnover bug hasn't bitten as hard the last few games.Quote:

Preventing that one play would likely have made the difference between a win and a loss Friday night. Just lucky it didn't happen twice because it came pretty close to happening again at the end of regulation.
