J'Mar might be a "gamer". Some guys are just good under the lights. Think of how many back ups have become stars in football.

But, you have to remember that football is a TEAM sport. He was only one of eleven on offense.Originally Posted by HogDawg
That's arguable. There's no question that our 2013 defense laid down and quit against Army. But you rarely win a college football game when you only score 16 points. One of the big knock's on Higgins back in 2013 was that he played great between the 20's, but couldn't punch it into the end zone.
Remember Kansas? Higgins just couldn't put it in the end zone. He fumbled at the goal line, and we only scored 10 points that day. Against UNT, we scored only 13 points. Army, 16 points. NC St, 14 points. Tulane, 15 points. Rice, 14 points. Tulsa, 14 points. UTSA 10 points.
Clearly, Higgins and our offense had trouble scoring points back in 2013.
I hope I've made my.......err.....point.
Prolly one of the least talented Tech offenses ever.
No doubt. I'm not hanging it all on him. Only emphasizing how an offense (and a QB) can rack up a lot of "impressive stats", but still not score.
Sounds like DogtorEvil.
The big question to me for this offense will be can we score touchdowns. I think we could move the ball 20-20 on most teams just throwing to Taylor. The problem is when the field shrinks we haven't shown the ability to get it in the end zone. O-Line needs to show its worth this week as the TTech defense sure looked poor against A-State.
LOL!! Sounds like a lot of us.
One trend I've noticed with this team so far this season is its' lack of scoring on BIG plays. Yes, we've had some big plays, but we typically get stopped inside the 10 or 20 -yard line, etc, and don't "cash it in" on that same play. That makes it harder for us to score TD's. When we don't score on the BIG PLAY, we end up running more offensive plays inside the red zone, fumbling more often, kicking more FG's and scoring fewer TD's.
This is a "trend" that I'm watching closely in 2016. The past two season's LA Tech did a great job of scoring TD's from almost anywhere on the field, because we had experienced "undertakers" like Kenneth Dixon, Jeff Driskel and Cody Sokol, who knew how to drive a stake thru the heart of the defense. This is typically the mark of an experienced team.
