"Do the things, win the points"

Yesss!! Been waiting on this thread! I'm saying the Kats win in a hot one. Bearkats 45, and the Spiders of Richmond (love you guys mascot btw lol) 38. I think it's gonna be a lot of back and forth throughout, and the Kats pull away in the fourth. I think Briscoe wins this one with his arm. Sams defense holds, but shows a lot of rust. Keep the ambulance on standby. I'm sure I'll need a medic by games end.

Lauletta will be the best QB SHSU has faced since Carson Wentz. This game will come down to which QB has the best game.

I just haven't seen the intensity from this camp that i'd like too see. At this point "Soft Houston" looks to be what i'm seeing. KC Koddler just can't seem to light any fires. I'll hold my prediction until i see the last scrimmage


"Do the things, win the points"

[KPSUL]

I'll wait until next week to make a prediction, but I expect a very close game. I'm not putting to much stock in the blowout vs. JMU last December, even though earlier in the season Richmond gave JMU a very good game @ Richmond. JMU was playing at a level off the charts during the playoffs last season. No questions the wheels fell off for SHSU in that game and as the game went on and things just got worse and worse for the bearKats as the pressed harder. SHSU is returning a bunch of very good players this year and should be ready to start fast, particularly at home and still feeling the sting of ending their season the way they did in 2016.

the only thing I don't agree with here is not making a pick now, but otherwise right on the money

Sammy Houston over Richmond

[SpiderJPO]

There will be a small but spirited contingent of Spider fans making trip. I am flying in from Richmond and looking for some good Texas style tailgate options with home team fans. Should be a ton of offense on display. Red zone play and turnovers will be key. Probably will not be two better quarterbacks on same field in another FCS game this year. Looking forward to first trip to Texas and a great season opener between two Top 10 teams. Any tips or local advice for out of town fans appreciated.

I'm a bloodthirsty homer. This is fact. But i've never seen "Bounce back fire" in a Keeler team. I don't think one game motivates them one way or the other. I'm not down on them, but i'm not feeling the "rally vibe" that i think i should.

Absent having any understanding of your medical needs, this is probably a fair assessment. I am concerned about our ability to keep your Buchanan Award nominee off Lauletta and I'm concerned about our ability to get to Briscoe. The game probably boils down to those 2 items.

Hall is being moved around on the line more this year. I don't think he will put up the same kinds of numbers on the inside. That move will be the key to our defensive play.

So he traditionally lines up at end or tackle? Our best lineman is our left tackle and the rest of the line is fairly average.

Traditionally he lined up at end. He will be used at tackle mostly this season but during the scrimmages he has been lining up at both.

Yassss!! Thissss!!

Besides i don't call "Cautious Optimism" sandbagging. I mean, we got our faces kicked in in our last game and Richmond was the only team to get shut out in the playoffs. I would think a good dose of "hold your horses" would be ideal for both fan bases.

I'm a self confessed homer and A/hole. But i'm also honest. And i just have not seen the "bounce back fire" that one would like the see from a team and coaching staff. So i'm just not confident. It's not sandbagging, it's just how i see it.

The Valley has high humidity but it also has those gulf trade winds that moderate it later in the day (I grew up there so I am familiar). The piney woods are different and can be stifling (hot, humid and still). although I doubt either team will have an advantage because of the temp and humidity as both will be acclimated. I am sure there will be cramps, etc going on but nothing more than usual. Now if this was a Big Sky team coming to Huntsville, things would be different.

To end the weather discussion, Texas heat beats Richmond everyday. Our boys better show up with a weeks worth of pedialyte in them. Having Huesman's staff come over from Chatty is a big plus for us. They know the SHSU team and scheme having played them this past year. Should be a great game.

Agreed on all. It's hard to beat any good coach twice in a year and this would be back to back games. Huesman comes into this one with a better team than the one he brought in december imho. for sure at qb. chatty may have won with a better qb

all of the above. He has usually played both ends equally and sometimes inside. This year he will just be inside more. Apparently we have more depth with outside pass rushers now. expect to see PJ everywhere. but he sure looks more like a DT now. He's easily 15-25 pounds heavier.

So you've never heard it because maybe i invented it. lol. So can you really not muster up enough common sense to figure out the implication, Are you that bad with context clues?

A specific example...hmmm let me see.

Ali lost his first fight with Frazier, so he ramped up his intensity of training moving forward because he needed to raise his game due to level of competition. "Bounce Back Fire" "Intensified training" "Extra Motivation" That's the best i can do for you.

I think it would sellout w/ mainly freshmen as they acclimate to the college environment coupled w/ the large # of returnees during week #1. Grad'd alums outside of the silver hair'd ones? Well... some things are consistent. (in terms of overall non-support for athletics)

[milleniumkat]

I think the outcome of this game will have less to do with our DL and more to do with our Secondary. We have had one of the best DL in the nation for three years. Led the SLC on sacks last year and was ranked pretty high nationally as well. But even that didn't help the overall results of our D. I've always heard that a strong front 7 will make a secondary look better, well that has not been the case.

Did they? They scored a TD on the last play to make it a one score game. I don't know if I'd say "almost beat". I'd argue W&M or Nova came closer. Even UNH in that epic 4th quarter comeback.

Just basing it on what i knew about sack numbers. was not concrete on numbers. Sorry to offend. But you are correct. And i'm not just referring to last year. The Defense has regressed every year under Koddler

The point was in reference to the fact that we've been able to get to the QB but it stil has not helped the secondary. Hope that clarifies.

"Do the things, win the points"

That's interesting. I went back and looked at your last two games. Against Chatty you allowed 7 sacks. The next game your offense just wasn't the same but allowed less sacks. Did the QB get hurt against Chatty? Just wondering how an Oline that allowed that many one game might have done the next game. Having said that about the offense, what happened to the defense between Chatty and JMU? I mean you gave up LESS passing yards when you played JMU than Chatty. But you gave up 100 more yards rushing to JMU..yet the score was lopsided without a major # of turnovers. What a freaky game. xeyebrowx

Did they? They scored a TD on the last play to make it a one score game. I don't know if I'd say "almost beat". I'd argue W&M or Nova came closer. Even UNH in that epic 4th quarter comeback.

Oh come on. Get a stop on a 4th and 2 or 3 deep in the 4th quarter and that game was ours. Brandon Waller breaking his jaw in the 2nd quarter didn't help either.

Not saying that JMU wasn't the better team that day.

[McNeese75]

All BS aside. Kudos to both Schools for scheduling this game xbowx

[Sammy94]

That's interesting. I went back and looked at your last two games. Against Chatty you allowed 7 sacks. The next game your offense just wasn't the same but allowed less sacks. Did the QB get hurt against Chatty? Just wondering how an Oline that allowed that many one game might have done the next game. Having said that about the offense, what happened to the defense between Chatty and JMU? I mean you gave up LESS passing yards when you played JMU than Chatty. But you gave up 100 more yards rushing to JMU..yet the score was lopsided without a major # of turnovers. What a freaky game. xeyebrowx

Yes, the last sack screwed his shoulder up. He should have been done for the year.

[jmufan999]

So you've never heard it because maybe i invented it. lol. So can you really not muster up enough common sense to figure out the implication, Are you that bad with context clues?

to be completely honest with you, it sounds like something a stupid person would say when they're trying to sound like they know what they're talking about. of course I knew you invented it, dummy. no one else on the planet would say something like that.

you still aren't addressing my point: how do you know that the coaching staff doesn't have "bounce back fire" (come on, you have to realize how incredibly stupid that sounds)? you said they don't have BBF. how would you know that?

[caribbeanhen]

I manage buildings in McAllen, Mission, and Brownsville. I'm there often. It's humid but nothing compares to southeast humidity. I promise.

I disagree, I walked out the airport the other day here in San Juan after being stateside for a few weeks and forgot how brutal the heat is down here...

I came back after missing the last season here just to respond to that.

Honestly, finally got AGS to recognize my email...

Anyway, we took a 37-33 lead with 6:43 left. You guys had a great drive to score at 1:36 left (37-40).

We have no excuse for 4 incomplete passes on 1st & 15 from our own 8. But if you don't count our last score, I don't count yours either. :D


But now on to a new year. And I know how much you are looking forwarding to mocking whoever loses in Huntsville...

Special Teams played by JMU also help play major role in downward spiral of Sammy during the game. Hats off to JMU for playing on all 12 cylinders

[DirtyDukes]

Oh come on. Get a stop on a 4th and 2 or 3 deep in the 4th quarter and that game was ours. Brandon Waller breaking his jaw in the 2nd quarter didn't help either.

I still don't think any of that means you "almost" beat us. I'd reserve that for a missed field goal or us scoring on the last drive to win. Just saying.





But now on to a new year. And I know how much you are looking forwarding to whoever loses in Huntsville...


I'm honestly hoping you all win decisively. Soft Houston Fans will crown themselves Universal Champions if they beat you, possibly if it's even a close loss.

I must be out of practice making posts. I meant you are looking forward to MOCKING whoever loses.

If SHSU wins your opinion of them won't change but you will think less of us. If we win you will feel vindicated in your opinion of SHSU. Either way you can't lose...

Absolutely! Looking forward to watching this one on week zero.

[milleniumkat]

No offended persons here. Just curious to the reasoning. I'm of the mind that sacks are always a good thing but they don't really help you unless you can stop the run.

agreed. but again i was more speaking to the effect on the secondary vein null and void. carry on good man.

chatty was a game of adjustments.

Qtr 1.5 kats blew the doors off chatty
Qtr 1.5-3 Chatty tried what every other team we played tried all year, they sent pressure from every direction play after play. The difference was they had the personnel to make it work.
Qtr 3-4 Kats went exclusively to quick slants and go routes to beat the pressure and mixed in s little direct snap to yedi. game over.

Yes briscoe got hurt at very end of Chatty.

JMU wasn't freaky, we got an early turnover, they got it right back. We couldn't stop any running play they ran. Even their 3rd and long hail mary's worked when we did stop the run. they just mauled us.

What term would you use to describe "They don't look that interested in playing football right now"? Sheesh.

"Bounce back"= Referencing the need to "Bounce back" from a terrible way to end a season.

"Fire" = A term commonly used in sports to describe an athlete who is extremely motivated and aggressive ie: "Fired up" "Hair on fire", etc.

And my statement was "I just don't see it" or something to that effect. It was based on what i said, my observations from practices and scrimmages that i've attended. From the coaches standpoint, i'm basing the observation that they have constantly backed off on work, eased up on contact, gave guys days off when not injured, etc etc. That is from the coaches own mouth sir. Nothing has been said from coaches outwardly so that fans can hear, that there is a motivated sense of urgency. That's all. And the practices i've seen reflect that.

The only stupid part of this is that someone actually chose to make an issue and debate out of it. You don't go to our practices. I do, so bye.

first of all, i apologize for being mean. seriously.

that paragraph was what i was looking for. WHAT was happening that made you feel that way, that kind of thing. is it possible, though, that they have a plan and know what they're doing? maybe they're easing up in practice to avoid injury. maybe they're less intense on the day you see them, but maybe that's the day before a scrimmage? i wouldn't assume that less contact or even less intense practice will result in a worse product. if it truly is a change from previous years, i'm sure it's not an accident.

[DallasSpider]

How are the Spider's WR's looking? Did Brian Brown get an NFL contract? Luletta is going to miss that talent...

Brian has been toasting the cowboys 2nd team secondary almost daily in practice (take that for what you will with the cowboys defense). Lots of depth though at the position with him and several others including a late draft pick fighting for the 6th receiver spot/squad. He will be on somebody roster by the end of camp.

Honestly, and I believe this is as unbiased as it can be, I would take our 3,4,5 receivers over most other receivers in the league. The group is DEEP.

Our roster can be adjusted for BIG print and surnames(last names)are cross referenced by phonetic multi syllabic assistance for those with a Blue Hen high school education.There is a BIG button to press that helps with pronunciation.Like Newark,Delaware is pronounced very slowly like New-Ark with the hyphen inserted not to be confused with Newark,New Jersey which doesn't have the hyphen.We keep it very simple for visitors from New-Ark.

You continue to base your opinion of SHSU on ONE GAME. You don't listen to many others on here that are objective and have been following FCS for a long time. They keep trying to tell you that have blinders on when it comes to Sammy.

I base my opinion on a lot of things, not just one game.

Your coach.

Your own fans opinions.

Multiple games, including your last 3 playoff exits.

There is LOTS of evidence that Soft Houston is soft, and not a lot to support the way MK and others (not you DT, I respect you and your opinion) speak and think about the Kats. But then I see MK on twitter questioning KCK's practices and I wonder if he actually even believes it himself?

Is Soft Houston better than I think? Almost certainly. Are they as good as the average Kats fan (that I interact with, here, twitter) think? Almost certainly not. I personally think I'm closer to the truth, especially in games against quality opponents.

Regardless, this is all just words on the internet and the boys can prove it on the field. If Soft Houston beats the Spatters convincingly, I'll give them their due.

So again we run into the same old issue. That JMU fans can't fathom that a fan can both support a team while having reservations at the same time. I'm not going to keep trying to explain that. If you don't get it you don't get it. Your fans were down on your team and players after the colgate team but they still showed up game one for the next season. just let it go.

Lastly, you reveal that you really don't know anything other than scores that you have looked up. Go back and look at our 2014 game vs NDSU and tell me in what universe was that even close to the same type of game as JSU and JMU. That was a 7-3 game at the half. NDSU came out on the second half and wore us down cuz they were the better deeper team. Jsu and Jmu were collapses. Not even close.

Which QB gets it? Whoever has time to pass will probably win this game. Both teams will be bringing the wood from the solid D lines so if the QB is rushed and does not get the minimum needed,

txa&m-b/cs:ut-austin:uofh/lsu are always taking offers for a whipping boy if shsu is seeking tougher competition. at their place, of course.

PVAMU is 1-0 vs SHSU in its only meeting. Coach Simmons has recruited quality and quantity to help make our squad competitive. We are quietly progressing under the radar. SHSU fans should feel impressed when they leave Panther stadium. FTR, I've seen both spring games of PVAMU & SHSU. I know their strengths and weaknesses. Briscoe is indeed 1st team all-american. SHSU RBs are deep and very good. SHSU WRs are ridiculously good. SHSU will discover the prior year's FCS scoring champion in PVAMU soonest. High scoring game and our defense is now solidified in yr#3.

Just coming into every thread with "Sam Houston is soft", especially when it doesn't really relate to the topic at hand, is not offering an alternative opinion.

My first post in this thread was about discussing game conditions. And usually people's opinions of a team informs their prediction or discussion of a topic.

[JayMYou]

I'm going to take a crack at this. I don't know much about what each team has coming back but it sounds like SH is getting most of their offense back and Richmond's defense could be in shambles. It took a hit when Trott left for JMU, and now there's a total coaching staff change? If SH can't beat Richmond under these conditions (at home, first game of the year for a new Richmond staff, Richmond losing key players on defense, etc) then they really might be a paper tiger.

So I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt: SHSU 42-27

Either way the result of this game will be fodder; SH goes the rest of the year gloating, or goes the rest of the year indignant. The pressure is palpable and will be fun to watch.

"Do the things, win the points"

[The Pud]

txa&m-b/cs:ut-austin:uofh/lsu are always taking offers for a whipping boy if shsu is seeking tougher competition. at their place, of course.

PVAMU is 1-0 vs SHSU in its only meeting. Coach Simmons has recruited quality and quantity to help make our squad competitive. We are quietly progressing under the radar. SHSU fans should feel impressed when they leave Panther stadium. FTR, I've seen both spring games of PVAMU & SHSU. I know their strengths and weaknesses. Briscoe is indeed 1st team all-american. SHSU RBs are deep and very good. SHSU WRs are ridiculously good. SHSU will discover the prior year's FCS scoring champion in PVAMU soonest. High scoring game and our defense is now solidified in yr#3.

Point well taken, and I meant no disparagement towards PVAMU. My comments were merely that us Sammy fans wish we could have a stronger schedule to help better prepare the team for the playoffs and to help the team with a higher seeding in the playoffs. I have no problem with Sammy scheduling LSU, et. al.; however, it seems these high power P5 programs no longer have available slots to schedule Sammy in the near future.

With regards to PVAMU, I do agree with your comments, and I hope Sammy does not over look a young and talented PVAMU team on their home turf, to do so would probably mean a defeat for Sammy.

"Do the things, win the points"

[Panther88]

I still remember 1979 when I believe Prairie View and Richmond were the only two winless college football teams...

Sounds about right. For well over 30+ consecutive years, PVAMU didn't give a hoot about any of its athletics programs. Remember, it was the earlier part of the 1990s where we fielded ZERO (0) athletic scholarships and STILL attempted to remain in the then D-Iaa subdivision competing against full-scholarshipped teams at the D-Iaa and D-II levels (0-80 w/ voluntary students). Those scores were ridiculously lopsided and obviously, it wasn't fair to our fans or opposing fans that we didn't offer the best competition possible for all.

[Panther88]

Attend?? I'm sitting with you.


I'm excited for this one too. I have much respect for PV. Many other programs would have shut down with the struggles y'all have had. But you guys pushed through. Most of us would love to have you in the SLC

You are preaching to the choir. Words just simply cannot describe how MOST of us feel w/ the ticket increase. PVAMU has the highest gameday ticket-price in all of D-I FCS (?). What is it... 40$ for a GA seat lower-level and then another 10$ gameday parking fee? They've lost their minds.

We beat Richmond last year you dingle and we haven't lost an FCS game by more than 20 points since 2009. I feel pretty safe saying we've never lost an FCS game by 58.

So every loss 20 or less is an acceptable loss and counted toward a winning season? Got it.

DD logic: "You can't mention that the teams you lose to are the very elite of FCS otherwise you are justifying losses. However, if you lose to High School Teams by only one point, then that's cool".

You would think being a Thursday night on national TV they would want a packed house. I figured tickets to be about $20, I was a bit shocked that it was doubled that. Five of us were planning on going but if its in the sun and its on TV, I think I will save my $200 for something else.

In the interest of full disclosure, UNH did beat Colgate early in 2015 in Hamilton, NY 28-8.

Yes you did decisively beat Colgate at your place the week after they beat JMU; however, as you have so clearly pointed out in previous posts on this thread and several others, one game does not tell the whole story of a team or a season.

Wait a minute! Saturday, Sept 11, 2010 counts - they beat FBS #13 Virginia Tech that day. However, with conference losses to Delaware, UNH, Villanova, UMass and Richmond the rest of 2010 does not.

[fmrbearkat]

That's interesting. I went back and looked at your last two games. Against Chatty you allowed 7 sacks. The next game your offense just wasn't the same but allowed less sacks. Did the QB get hurt against Chatty? Just wondering how an Oline that allowed that many one game might have done the next game. Having said that about the offense, what happened to the defense between Chatty and JMU? I mean you gave up LESS passing yards when you played JMU than Chatty. But you gave up 100 more yards rushing to JMU..yet the score was lopsided without a major # of turnovers. What a freaky game. xeyebrowx

Briscoe was hurt on the last play of the game vs chatty and our left tackle got hurt during the chatty game and didn't suit up for JMU I don't think.

Briscoe didn't throw a pass from the hit until game day. They did tests and it was a bone bruise in his elbow and nothing structural but was in a ton of pain. Tried to let swelling go down as much as possible and then got some injections to numb it up and played through it but was obviously off. He was one of the most accurate passers in history last year and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn in that game.

If DD or any others think a healthy JB comes in and that score still looks The same your crazy. Im not saying we win because yall were playing inspired football....some could even say there was a little extra something special running through your guys veins and urine and nothing was going to stop them.....but no matter the case yall were the better team that day. Jokes aside there was some bad dudes on that team.

Now that doesn't excuse the receivers that caught everything thrown at them all year dropping balls the entire game or the defense looking like ****. But as you saw we became one dimensional after Avery's injury early in the year and we never got back to it and as our quarterback goes so does the rest of our team. The snow ball started, the general wasn't on his horse, and getting beat in cold weather SUCKS and if they didn't learn anything from it then we will see the same results in the playoffs this year...it just won't be as lopsided if JB is healthy but we still get beat.

If you've ever played a down of football you've been through a game like that when the energy just leaves the sidelines. We've just been blessed with 2 high profile games in which both involved a starting qb hurt. Sucks but its part of it. But a year more experience and if we stay healthy and did learn from those two ass whippin's then the Kats have as good of a shot as anybody this year.

I'm sorta surprised at that though Sammy. Part of developing that fanbase is paying the price and helping out the program with a higher level in all areas and SHSU has been on such a rise and staying very relevant all over the place I'd think fans would say "OK, I get it" and pony up a bit to have something like this coming around. If they don't then it's less likely it comes around again isn't it?

UR has a strong returning offensive unit. It has 3 returning starters at RB- Collins, Goodall and Thompson. Collins and Goodall were injured and out for most of the season. Thompson picked up in game 4 and rushed for more than 1,000 yards on the season.

[Winston]

We have 3 strong QB's. The starter is the league leading Kyle Lauletta. He blew out his knee in the last game of the season. The second is Kevin Jackson, a 3-star recruit; he carried us through the playoffs last year. The third is Mancusco, who has really developed.

Not that Sammy fared any better in their last playoff game against JMU, but didn't Richmond get shut out by a weak Easter Washington team?

UR's offensive line is probably the biggest question mark on offense. I would expect some misdirection and QB options, especially with Jackson in the backfield.

I think they have reasonable expectations of their guy. He sounds like the Dos Equis guy.

Look alls im saying is that Briscoe recently revealed his diary, The Guinness Book of World Records. Take from that what you will

Jesus once walked on water, but in the off season, Briscoe swims through land.

is it because of a biblical flood of Sammy tears

This begs the question. Is this just talk or is Briscoe that good? He obviously struggled against JMU.

Talk? Ask MC Hammer about it. He found out the hard way that Jeremiah Briscoe can indeed "Touch This".

In all honesty, in 1 season and 3 games as a starter, he's played lots of bad teams, some good teams and a couple of elite teams. He's dominated the bad and good teams. The games vs the elite teams have been utter disasters across the board. No one on the team looked good. So he's good, yes, but how good apparently depends on how good Richmond ends up being.

[Serpentor]

Briscoe won't be the best QB on the field on game day.

You're just an ugly person all over this website, ain'cha?

I tend to easily offend people with opinions like "Lauletta is a better QB than Briscoe." Sorry, not sorry. That's my NHO.

i'm with you as long as we're talking about college QBs. Briscoe seems to have the eye of NFL scouts so they must see something. i'd be surprised if Lauletta gets drafted. but as a college QB, Lauletta is better. mobility is night and day. Lauletta runs like a deer, Briscoe runs like Tom Brady. running isn't everything, but that's an enormous difference in ability. Lauletta is a true athlete, Briscoe is a passer, if that makes sense. Steve Young / Tom Brady (in terms of style, not talent).

it's not just running plays, either. he can throw off the run as well. it's a big factor, we'll see if the new staff has figured out how to use him.

I don't necessarily disagree. In today's offenses, and shsu's specifically, a QB that can run and throw equally is the heart of the offense. Imho that's the struggle Keeler has had in his time here. He started out with a QB that could run and not throw, he cashed him in for a qb that could pass and not run. And in both cases the offense was too one dimensional to be effective vs the elite defenses.

The ? will be on 8/27 is whether or not Richmond is Good or Elite.

That's the beauty part of FCS football, you will always find the answer sooner or later

JMNHO, if you have a quarterback that can run but can't throw you have a running back. If you have a quarterback that can throw but can't run you have a pocket passer. If you have a dual threat that's awesome, but you have to play your best quarterback.

Briscoe and Lauletta are both pocket passers. BTW, I like Lauletta a lot. It's not me disrespecting Briscoe. He's good in his own right.

He was good, but didn't amaze me. I was very complimentary of Khalid Abdullah. He was a difference maker in that game. So was the LB Steele.

but how many visiting QB's have performed like he did in the Tindome in a playoff game..... he just wins....good football head on his shoulders and the best thing going for him is maybe no one is amazed....

Agree on all points. I think we said the same thing. This offense has had to adapt twice to a QB not suited to it. If i'm building an offense from scratch, i'm going with Lauletta. On 8/27 tho? I'll take Briscoe, due to sheer number of weapons around him.

[Winston]

Yes, Schor is a special player and Houston is a great coach.

[SpiderJPO]

Richmond will have as talented of a group of players at the skilled positions as anyone in FCS. Three running backs on the depth chart that are each dangerous. Thompson was third string as RS freshman last year until other two backs were lost by mid-season to ACL surgeries. He ends up freshman All-American and 1000 yards. Top receiver graduated and in Cowboy's camp leading team in receptions to this point. Returning WRs go about six deep. TEs are solid. OL will have two new starters which may cause some growing pains. This group should put up good numbers and plenty of points. The question will be the defense and how the personnel adapt to a new system. Special teams have been average at best in recent years but PK is extremely accurate and an All American. Should be a great game.

Every quarterback I have seen in the always comfortable fargodome has had a head on his shoulders. I'm not sure what to look for in a good head and a bad head, but they all had heads. xlolx

As far as just winning. I've seen a lot of winning. I don't judge individual talent based on the final score. Schor is a good FCS quarterback. I'd still rather have Lauletta, Gubrud, or Christian.

I think we should just schedule early OOC games on the road. Every time we try to make a good TV event it rains. Just travel and we may get more OOC takers

Since we are discussing one game out of many..... 25-33, 438 YDS, 7 TD

These are two obviously different results. What is the secret to containing Briscoe? Alternatively, what has to happen for him to be effective?

If JB is healthy he will throw 5 or more TDs passes

If JB is hurt he will throw 0 TD passes

Pass rush that flushes him in less than 3 seconds along with lock down corners.

If you give him time, he will find a receiver.
