line moved to WKU -12.5

 

[IJW]

what a piss poor turnout. Stands look empty

 

[Fishn8ntEz]

Getting blowed off the ball

 

[ilmherdfan]

Only thing worse than the turnout is our tackling on that possession.

 

[bgr30]

This is going to get ugly quick..I predicted 42-24 WKU and I have a feeling now that I was way off

Congrats.

 

[sportsphantom1]

Why would you give WKU the ball to start the game?

 

[bgr30]

Congrats.

Thank you

 

[sportsphantom1]

Great job by special teams with the fumble. Now run the damn ball!!!

 

[bgr30]

Why would you give WKU the ball to start the game?

I thought it was a good idea but our defense decided to shit the bed on that drive.

 

[bgr30]

GO FIGURE..NICK SMITH MISSES

 

[ilmherdfan]

He has become like me on the tee box. It just isn't going to get fixed.

 

[IJW]

well let's see if our #noflyzone or whatever the hell we are calling ourselves is still giving WKU frequent flyer miles

 

[ThunderCat98]

Ugh. Start couldn't be worse.

 

[bgr30]

well let's see if our #noflyzone or whatever the hell we are calling ourselves is still giving WKU frequent flyer miles

We can not afford to go down 14-0.

 

[pdbailey]

Unbelievable missed tackles against a very good offense and no offense against a below average defense equals game over.

 

[rdhstlr23]

WKU is a better team. I would be surprised to see if we can even keep it close.

What upsets me most about this game? It reminds me so much of last year. We should have won. We should have been undefeated.

And Nick Smith a garbage. Good kid. ****** kicker. Guy CRIED mid-game. He can never be allowed to see the field again.

 

[rdhstlr23]

I can't stand Doughty. Annoys the hell outta me.

 

[bgr30]

I can't stand Doughty. Annoys the hell outta me.

I can't stand Nick Smith but we have to deal with it!

 

[sistersville]

KICKER HAS to go and litton has d1 arm and high shool legsGIVING WKU THE BALL FIRST WAS STUPID. WE HAVE A CHANCE IF HOLD THEM TO 21 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF. tHEN AGAIN WITH LITTON AT THE HELM THAT MAY BE TOO MUCH. GOOD GOSH GET US A BACK. Sorry for caps and sorry for being negative

We need to keep the ball out of Doughty's hands as much as possible and that should include not giving him the ball to start the game. It should also include our offense establishing a running game and slowing it down, not going to a hurry up offense and throwing the ball all over the place. So far we have 4 pass plays to 2 run plays.

 

[ilmherdfan]

If I weren't a Marshall fan this would be comical. They are much smarter and more disciplined.

I understand we need to get it out of his hands, however he either gets it to start the game or after the half so I am okay with trying to enforce our will with the D at first.

 

[WV_Celt]

Sister, you're a jackass. Litton is a very talented TRUE FRESHMAN. He has a great arm, and is more athletic than most guys his size.

 

[GeauxHerd]

We have got them making mistakes with the fumble and backward pass. Gotta capitalize

 

[bangtheherd]

Sisters, you got to lay off the sauce.

 

[herdfan429]

FIRE LEGG!!!!!!!!!

 

[ilmherdfan]

And the wheels are off. We have D Allen yelling at Litton. We are so ready for this game.

 

[HornsNHerd]

Sistersville is on the rag. Sheesh.

 

[rdhstlr23]

Our offense is not very good. We miss Devon so much.

 

[IJW]

We have got them making mistakes with the fumble and backward pass. Gotta capitalize

by not having anything resembling an offense

 

[ThunderCat98]

Chase is waaaay too keyed up right now. His nerves are showing - badly.

 

[bbneutralfan]

It's early. Team needs to calm down. Litton struggling already and no running game. Warm up the Bird!

 

[ThunderStruck80]

What's the deal with Allen? Don't need a senior acting like that. Maybe he could actually create some seperation and get open.

Maybe some of our WRs that were trash talking on twitter with the WKU players should try getting open. Its difficult for any QB to make a play when the WRs are never open. As for Allen, he should take a seat for a series as his head is not in the game.

 

[ilmherdfan]

I know it's early, and maybe we will settle down, but I actually thought we'd be prepared to play well today. I think we have 5 yards of offense.

 

[Tim_N_Montana]

If we can ride out this initial onslaught only giving up 7 we will win. All emotions right now.

 

[rdhstlr23]

They're sitting in small zones and dropping LBs in those shirt zones to stop the slants.

 

[pdbailey]

Anybody just see the dirty cut-block that injured Dillon. Its time for us to start getting dirty too.
