Tulane game thread

I disagree. I would give Higgins a START this next week, but I would also make sure that he gets all the 1st team reps in practice this week. Only then, will you be able to evaluate Higgins fairly. Higgins was thrown into the fray last night with NO time to prepare.

Just curious, Were you at the game or did you watch on TV?

This whole thing we keep hearing about Scotty protecting the ball drives me crazy. What good is it if you are not moving the ball down field? I thougt Higgins showed more ability last night, despite the turnovers. I think he should get the reps, and start next week. Or try Harris. We just can't keep doing the same thing, because we are getting worse.

Agree with this. Also Scotty was getting worse as he played last night. Higgins was getting better. Also showed a lot of toughness(mentally and physically).

Just got to watch the last 12 minutes of the game- replay tonight. Admit I didn't see the rest, but, what I saw looked like a frosh QB and an "unjelled" OL, and one darn mean D-line and (1) linebacker. Yes, maybe we should expect all the kinks to be out after 2 1/2 games, but I am not calling our hand. I saw some hope for Bulldog fans. Patience.

Oh, feel free to tell me how stupid I must be, I understand.

All I know is that I'll just be watching on TV for a while. The trips are killing me and right now, the ROI just ain't cuttin' it. I'm a VERY hardcore fan, so it must have REALLY turned most other people off. I can't take the time, energy, and money out for Tech football over and over like this for no performance in return. I know the athletics folks read this, so... There's going to be a hit to Tech's revenues and to those of local businesses that normally benefit from these events. Oh well...

If this type of performance continues I hope we take a cue from USM and cut the cord with Holtz.

Wouldn't be unprecedented even at Tech. Pathetic!

From what I'm hearing, you are not alone.

I'll take Scotty's turnover free play, take 10 Tulane points off the board (INT = 3, Fumble = 7) and go home with a win. And if we could get King to catch the easiest TD pass he'll ever get, we'd win by a few more.

Very catchable, but wouldn't call it easiest ever. It was a bad throw causing him to stop and turn around. Definitely should've caught it, but it was poorly thrown.
