Win the next 2 and play for a Championship

[jeremycriss]

The goal is still the same. If Southern Miss beats Louisiana Tech in 3 weeks, we host them in a rematch for the Conference Championship.
Regardless, get your butts to The Joan next Saturday and support the team!

 

[fedale]

Yeah and all the Browns have to do is win out and they'll make the playoffs.

Fact is, we barely put up 17 points in regulation against a team that allowed 45 to La Tech and 58 to WKU.

We will win this week but will end up giving 50+ to WKU in a blowout loss

Not a bad prediction really, but you are guessing too high points for the next game.

You see, Doc is still not showing all his cards and keeping the offense vanilla, all for the WKU game. It's the reason we get outplayed in the 2nd half and shoot ourselves in the foot with almost record setting penalties every game.

It's all part of Doc's genius plan.

Hey Jeremy we need to get our "busts" to the Joan? I'm sure you meant "butts"!

 

[TheGreenhouseEffect]

Indeed we DO win the next 2 and go to the championship! I'm firmly still in the camp that we can do and will do just that. Had some kinks showing yesterday. Let's face it we don't play well away when it's:

A. An empty stadium
B. Their superbow ( we get every team's best game now folks, much like Notre Dame every G5 is UP for us)
C. Our QB is having accuracy problems ( birdsong Ahia , littlon mtsu)

Do we bounce back or do we fold? I say this is a young team, it bounces back, plays sharp v FIU and rolls into WKY with an attitude.

As for the 19,000 in attendance , well I guess I'll be one of them, driving 9 hours from the ATL to be loud and proud in the house!

Maybe we should go to Walmart and recruit WVU fans to come that never set foot on a college campus?

I hope the attendance is above 19k but there are high school football playoffs this Saturday. (Why the governing bodies allow games on Saturday is beyond me. The travel argument is empty because this Friday for example, Musselman is making the drive to Point Pleasant.)

The game at WKU should have a good crowd so hopefully we don't have to worry about playing in front of a bunch of empty seats.

Litton has accuracy problems because every time he is pressured, he throws off his back foot and won't step into the pressure to deliver the ball. Gotta get that fixed and soon.

I hate to root for Southern Mississippi but I guess we have to at this point.

That was intended for all of the large chested ladies out there...

Sam we might lose to WKU this year but you are crazy if you think they beat us that bad.

Litton completed 61% of his passes for 346 yards and 3 TDs last night.. Idk how you can compare that to what Birdsong did against Ohio.. If Birdsong would have completed 61% of his passes against Ohio we would have beat them by 30 points

WKU is giving up 26 points/game to CUSA schools, I would hope we could muster up more 7...?

Might want to think again, ohio herd. Yesterday, our best D-tackle, Samuels, went off the field on one leg. Even before, our D line generated virtually NO pass rush, and their freshman Q-back torched our confused secondary. It seems to me that they had great size in their receiving corps and on some catches our short, 5'9"-5-10" D backs were outmuscled or out jumped.

Our O-line was unable to sustain any significant run blocking, and some of them were bullied by MTSU's big linebackers. They applied pressure from the edges on Chase, either with their D-ends or blitzing linebackers. We have used injuries on the O-line as an excuse, but this is Doc's 6th season and we went into the season with something like 16 O linemen on our squad. Yet, we are playing a D-II transfer from Bethany- -- -doesn't say a lot about our quantity of quality recruits as far as offensive linemen goes. Believe another O lineman also hobbled off late in the game with injuries.

Again, we can't let Doughty sit back all day and pick our pass defense apart, like last year. Plain vanilla D schemes aren't going to cut it, and who feels confident that we can apply a constant pass rush with our defensive front, as presently constituted?

 

[Marine03]

I haven't seen anything in this 2015 team that leads me to believe we can stay within 2 TD's of WKU. I'm not going to be at all shocked if we are a 14 point dog by kickoff.

 

[Treadmill MUsic]

Once again suspect Herd Fans being a lil apprehensive now. When our Football Team wins the next two, including at WKU, the proclaimed purist will return.

What's suspect? The eye test is really all that's needed here. I've watched every herd game and three WKU games, they're just better than we are and they're better coached. It's ok to be honest about that. Do we have a punchers chance? Sure, but if both teams play their best game WKU is simply better.

 

[flairforherd]

We're not going to be able to keep up with WKU. Even if our D plays well and holds their points down, I just don't see us being able to match them. I mean, come on, we just struggled to post 17 (in regulation) against a team that was giving up 30+ per game. That is the most troubling thing about the MTSU loss.

sorry mate, we will not lose to them by 45 points.....not going to happen. For one thing they aren't that good and we aren't that bad. Not predicting a road win either. I think the injuries sustained in OT might be too much for us to overcome. However, we will score plenty on them. I predict a shoot out and hopefully we pay them back.

 

[andy4theherd]

as of today Sagarin has us as a 10 point underdog.

That's about right. That line can change quite a bit considering we both have fiu next. Vegas will compare scores, stats, etc to pick the line.

that is using Sagarin's rating for predicting games. it is not the same as Vegas odds. i've never compared the two so not sure about the difference come game day.
