Mr. C

There is a good crowd of perhaps 14,000-plus here and the familiar strains of Whose House, Our House is echoing in the stands. 60 degrees at kickoff.

There seems to be an unconscionable amount of empty space in the stands.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:08 PM
Maine looked to kick the ball out of bounds on purpose to avoid Laron Scott. First down on the 40 for GSU and Swoope goes on the dive for six.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:08 PM
There seems to be an unconscionable amount of empty space in the stands.

Just one section is sparse.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:09 PM
First down for Swope at the Maine 49.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:10 PM
First time with the option pitch, Hickey for five. Third and two at the UM 41.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:10 PM
Swoope dive for a first down with 7 yards to the 34.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:11 PM
Shaw passes to Wilcox for to the 2. 32 yards. 3 guys were open on that play.

December 10th, 2011, 02:12 PM
Pretty pass to get down there, and quick statement by the Eagles.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:12 PM
7 plays, 60 yards, 3:20 on the drive and Jaybo Shaw goes over from the two. GSU picks up where it left off last week. 11:40 on the clock.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:13 PM
Not a good start for the Maine D......but not totally unexpected either. Maine MUST keep pace early!

bullitt_60
December 10th, 2011, 02:15 PM
There seems to be an unconscionable amount of empty space in the stands.

For some reason they keep that section closed until after the 1st quarter for "walk ups". Afterwards they open it to GA. Why? I have no idea, but it looks bad and makes everyone sit in the grass.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:16 PM
Roosevelt Boone almost breaks the kick return. Offsides by GSU will be added to the return. First down Black Bears at the UM 36.

bullitt_60
December 10th, 2011, 02:17 PM
Picked off!

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:17 PM
Interception by newly-converted DB Jerrick McKinnon on a play-action spring pass on first down.

Squealofthepig
December 10th, 2011, 02:18 PM
Seems like every time ESPN mentions a qb doesn't turn the ball over... the qb turns the ball over (happened to both SHSU and now Maine just after the announcer says it)

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:18 PM
Wasn't even close.......not good Bears.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:18 PM
GSU has the ball at the 21. Robinson goes for 8 to the 29.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:18 PM
Wasn't even close.......not good Bears.

The WR was covered and Smith should have thrown it away.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:19 PM
3rd and 1 for GSU.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:19 PM
False Start by Swoope on the play. 3rd and 6.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:20 PM
Option pitch to Wilcox right side for a first down to the 43 after an 18-yard gain.

Milktruck74
December 10th, 2011, 02:21 PM
What a great block by that lead blocker. goes down and keeps giving effort.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:21 PM
Hickey on the motion pitch for 13 to the Maine 45.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:21 PM
Nice adjustment for Swoope on the dive to hit the off-tackle hole for seven.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:22 PM
Maine just not tackling........they have to make that first hit and bring them down!!

Squealofthepig
December 10th, 2011, 02:22 PM
77 yards to 2. Ouch.

Milktruck74
December 10th, 2011, 02:22 PM
Blocks like that win Championships!!! I know Swope is pretty special, but almost any RB in FCS could have runs like that with those holes!!!

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:22 PM
Illegal motion on the Eagles with the A-backs moving early.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:23 PM
Hickey 8 yards on the option pitch to the UM 34 for a first down.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:23 PM
Dive to Swoope for five.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:24 PM
Robert Brown is now at A-Back and goes for 16 to the 13.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:24 PM
Maine's secondary can just not adjust to this offense...........cripes.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:25 PM
5 yards to the 8.

Milktruck74
December 10th, 2011, 02:25 PM
I don't think the secondary is use to being blocked THAT far down field.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:26 PM
Finally a good play by the Maine defense on a pitch to Brown. Third and one from the four.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:26 PM
Shaw sneaks for a first down to the two.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:27 PM
Shaw sneak for nothing. Bad play call.

Squealofthepig
December 10th, 2011, 02:28 PM
Time of possession:

Maine: 0:50
GSU: 10:49

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:28 PM
Pitch to Wilcox on the motion play for a two-yard TD. 2:47 left in the first.

13 plays 79 yards, 8:03 on the drive

Maroon&White
December 10th, 2011, 02:28 PM
Are the refs afraid to call false start? I can't believe how many times the GSU line or a back moves early.

RabidRabbit
December 10th, 2011, 02:29 PM
Eagles are off to a quick start. Appears Maine isn't ready for the triple option team.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:29 PM
All I see is Maine's secondary on the ground and/or trying to make shoe string tackles.........it's UGLY.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:29 PM
Maine is having trouble adjusting to the tempo of the game and Georgia Southern is doing a great job blocking.

mainejeff

Mr. C

Boone for the 91-yard kickoff return after bobbling the catch.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:32 PM
That's what Maine needed!

Maroon&White
December 10th, 2011, 02:32 PM
Just what the defense didn't need.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:33 PM
Unsportsmanlike penalty on the GSU bench after the play.

Reign of Terrier
December 10th, 2011, 02:33 PM
The only thing that can stop the option in the playoffs is the team that runs the option it would seem. If GSU doesn't give any more cheapies they'll win this game going away. That defense has got to be tired now.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:33 PM
14-7 Georgia Southern with 2:34 left in the first period.

bullitt_60

In other news, Bearkats just killing MSU now - 42-13, 5:10 to go in the third.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:34 PM
Lots of negatives for GSU there............the Maine TD and penalty on the bench........hopefully, it will screw with their minds

Maroon&White
December 10th, 2011, 02:34 PM
Or just score more points. Don't need to stop the GSU option, just score more.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:35 PM
Maine will kickoff from the 45. How about an onside kick?

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:36 PM
GSU with a longer field now........

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:36 PM
Kick goes through the end zone for a touchback.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:37 PM
Pitch to Robinson for 7.

srgrizizen
December 10th, 2011, 02:37 PM
I don't have access to see the game, but I'd say Maine looks slow and like a middlin' BSC team.

Milktruck74
December 10th, 2011, 02:37 PM
That just means a longer drive and more time off the colck.


GSU with a longer field now........

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:38 PM
Shaw fakes pitch and is tackled for minus-two. Third and five.

Shaw gets lots of time and completes a first-down pass to Walker for six. First down from the 31.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:39 PM
Shaw on a keeper for 3.

Maroon&White
December 10th, 2011, 02:39 PM
GSU could have around 10 penalties now.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:40 PM
Counter action and pitch to Robinson for three. Third and four from the 37 as the first period ends.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:40 PM
Maine looking a bit better on D now.......need the BIG stop!

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:41 PM
I havent seen Maine yet

yet they are only down by 7........has to be disappointing for GSU.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:43 PM
Another pitch off the motion of the A-Back to Bryant for 10 and a first down at the 47 as the second period starts.

Mr. C

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:46 PM
Swoope on the dive for two.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:47 PM
Two Maine DLs go out on one play. Ouch.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:48 PM
Troy Eastman, a LB, looked to have a knee injury.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:50 PM
Nice defense on Robinson on a counter pitch. Third and 4 for GSU at the 35.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:50 PM
GSU gets flagged for another false start on Swoope.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:51 PM
Shaw on the option keep to the 35. Fourth and four. Huge play for Maine.

mainejeff
December 10th, 2011, 02:52 PM
That's what I'm talking about!

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:52 PM
Robinson runs into his own guy on the option pitch and is stacked up at the 34. Maine ball.

Mr. C

December 10th, 2011, 02:54 PM
Does that 4th down play count as a PUNT for GSU..?

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 02:54 PM
Crowd is noisy on an audible and Smith to Aultman for a gain to the GSU 9. 47 yards.

mainejeff

Mr. C

Smith on the QB draw to the two and Brown for one to the one.

Cleets

asumike83

This has been quite a unique game. GSU has dominated TOP about as much as you possibly can but Maine is right there. They seem to have weathered the initial storm and look a lot more comfortable.

The second half should be very interesting.

Swoope on the dive to the two. Penalties flags.

Cleets

I can't figure out why they don't hit that QB every time - no matter what - he should be attacked and tackled every down... Regardless if he pitches or not - he must be HIT
I'm told that's the only way you beat the triple is to tackle the QB 65 times

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 03:10 PM
Illegal shift on GSU. 40 seconds left in the half with a second and seven upcoming.

TD on the pitch to Wilcox. 7 yards on the play. 9 plays, 67 yards, 5:35 on the drive. GSU 21, Maine 10 with 35.7 seconds left in the half.

I think its funny how the color guy talked about how great they are doing "feathering out" the QB on the pitch....so its keeping the yardage down to 5 or 6 yards. I guess he doesn't realize thats a first down every other carry....

Maine's D has been on the field most of the first half. Hopefully the offense can get a good start in the 2nd half. Like by not throwing an interception on the 2nd play from scrimmage.

Mr. C
December 10th, 2011, 03:17 PM
One play and the half ends with Georgia Southern up 21-10.

Halftime stats:

GSU 24:45 time of possession, 43 plays

If Maine scores on its first possession, it will be an interesting second half. It will be interesting to see what Maine does in terms of defensive adjustments.

Mr. C...I have always wondered what (if any) school that red helmet represents?

My alma mater. That is a Fresno State helmet from the early 1970s. From the era when I started getting into college football locally as a kid (late 60s, early 70s).

Why??? Maine can score FAST!!! he's only down 11 and gets the ball to start. Just need to score 6 right out of the gate.

TOP is extremely important for a TO team. They usually can not score fast enough to get into a shoot out, so if they can keep the score low, they can win!!! the best Defense is to keep the other O off the field.

That was just a great play call for Maine. The Black Bears were totally committed to the run on that one and Shaw made a great fake and pass. He has been much sharper today than the first time I saw him this season at App State.

Huge drive by Maine to stay in it. They need to onside kick every time now, though; it doesn't really matter what kind of field position you give GSU when you can't stop them anyway. The only way you're going to win this game is to not let them touch the ball in the first place.
