Preview: LA Tech vs. New Mexico State - latechsports.com

[Blue Dawg]

Is NMSU's ball black or is that a trick of the camera?

I noticed that too

[Blue Dawg]

Interesting call to go for 2 but I've seen us blow bigger leads with less time so I'll take it

[Dorm Fridge]

49 points! And time still on the clock.

This is the kind of score we hoped for when Cumbie was hired.

I haven't posted on here in years, I believe... anyhow, look at this blowout... Would've been great to have an actual offense last week in Baton Rouge, eh? HBTD!

[JuBru]

Good win and opening to conference play.

[Dorm Fridge]

I’m going in optimistic that the offense comes to life tonight.

My optimism was warranted!

[Blue Dawg]

A good win. I was surprised to hear that we've only had 2 QBs rush for 100+

[DFWDawg]

Good win by the Dawgs over New Mexico State 49-14.

As the saying goes - there is still a lot of football left, but I'm beginning to think Tech might actually amount to something this year. As the season progresses, teams will begin to figure out our defense, but I hope the defense continues to shine. I feel comfortable with Blake Baker in at QB1. I just hope he doesn't get hurt by continuing to put himself in harm's way as he has with many of his runs.

Good job Dawgs. Got a little worried about our pass defense in the 2nd quarter, but they seemed to fix that problem. Offense showed signs of life, hopefully it's the start of something good.

I suppose it's pointless to point out how amateurish our TV telecast is. Luke McCown is fine, at least he knows the game and sticks to that (no mentions of Piggly Wiggly stores). Our graphics is a joke. Onscreen clock was never right, and NMSU started the game with two timeouts, Tech with three, and kept them even though both teams used their timeouts. Madison Kaufman screams into her mic.

But, as with all things Tech sports, a W is a W, and glad for it.

GO DAWGS!

I watched with the sound off. I enjoy Luke's input, but M.B. is just not a PXP guy. What this allowed me to do was to watch the sideline and see who was actually coaching our team. It was Franklin, not Cumbie. Our HC continues to look lost and unorganized. With Franklin calling the plays, our HC may get a contract extension if we win more than 6 games. The team I saw last night can easily do that with the schedule we have in front of us.

I think we'll be favored over S.Miss next week by double digits. Need to make a statement against them.

I will just say that this was a VERY FUN game to watch!!!!! I haven't seen us play like that in a very long time... The 3rd Quarter was a little boring, but we lit it up in the 4th!!!!!! WAY TO GO DAWGS!!!!!!!

[Dawgonit]

Wow, I finally have some optimism. I was hesitant last year to say it but we did lose a lot of close games. It seemed like bad luck to lose so many close games and maybe the team is more competitive than the record showed. Maybe we've turned a corner finally after so many years. I'm definitely more interested than I have been in years now.

Our new radio pxp guys is good, really good. So good in fact, he will be offered a major power school pxp position in a few short years at most.

I wonder WHO the other QB was and WHEN he did it? I never heard the announcers say.
