Both of these guys should not be starting. If Birdsong is the best we have we are in trouble. Tindal is just continuing where he left off last year. 8-4 this year

Western Kentucky exposed Tindal last November. Now everyone else has caught on. I must say he has improved a lil, the Allen kid concerns me moving forward.

After last night I'm not sure if we win 5 games.. Idaho passed for 300 on these guys and we couldn't even hit triple digits.. And the more film teams get on Birdsong the more loaded the box is going to get because it is becoming clear that DJ is all we have right now.. Because all that speed and talent at WR doesn't mean anything if you can't get them the football.
 
It was just sloppy all the way around. Just pathetic. I'm not sure all of those penalties were warranted. I think OU had some home cooking on those calls. No way you can penalize a team 2 football fields in penalties.

Lmao 5 games? Really? I understand you're emotional, but even a rational person can see we will win more than 5 games this year.

I think he is Graham Gochner remade.

He wasn't bad, just didn't really have a strong enough arm.

Tindal is the worst D1 college football player in the country.

That's going way overboard. Defense wasn't even really a problem in this game. Especially in the second half. It's the offense that killed us.
 
The Bottom line is that Tindal is a veteran on the defense. He has improved and he is still one of my favorite players on the team. I have stated many, many times in this board that Tindal reminds me of Chris Crocker. He's a good football player. To be honest, this young man will probably be a millionaire in the next year or two, while the rest of us wake up to the same problems moving forward,
Go Herd!
 
I get so sick of our corners flailing their arms to block a receivers vision rather than turning and looking for the ball. I don't know who taught them that but its ridiculous. Good corners read the receivers body language and eyes, and turn and look for the ball. Our guys can't cover very well at all.
Thank God OU couldn't pass the ball well.
 
I am concerned with "Rock Head" fumbling 4 times in 2 games. Isn't he our 1 dimension? lol

What 4 fumbles.. He only officially has two.. fumbled once at Ohio, and once against Purdue (although he got saved by the refs ruling forward motion had stopped on the one so it didn't actually count.)
 
He has only lost two. Two others were recovered back. Just because we get the ball back doesn't mean he didn't still fumble. Rock head is getting rock hands.

I know that just because we got the ball back doesn't mean he didn't fumble.. I'm completely aware of what a fumble is lol.. I just don't remember 4 of them.. I remember he fumbled once against Ohio.. Once against Purdue not ,counting the one the refs ruled that his forward motion had stopped saving his a$$ from having two fumbles that game.. But, I don't remember any other fumbles so I still don't know where you are getting 4 fumbles at.

Also the stats back me up..

HEY! At least I beat K-State, lol.
You were a decent quarterback Gochneaur. Your game against Kansas state was one of the best. You stood in the pocket well. You were not afraid one bit to get hit, Underrated is what you were.Tough guy

Ok, looking at it again I am wrong...you are correct. I was at the game and didn't hear (because of the noise) the forward progress call. I thought we recovered. I thought Smock's article said he lost two against Ohio....my apologies.

No worries.. At first I was genuinely thinking I must have missed at least one.
 
I really thought I was right. lol

It still concerns me because I don't remember him having this problem last year.

I bet you feel like a piece of poop now that you know he was playing hurt. Maybe you should get all the facts before jumping to conclusions next time. Way to support the team. Maybe you should go root for someone else, like the devil.
