...oh my! The announcers are horrible...really? OU 10 to nothing at the half?

ssNot to mention continually referring to Knight as Travis.The capper for me was refferring To Coach Mike Stoops needing 8 wins to tie Switzer.

Agreed. They're trying to help him warm up. Merve just seemed to think they were "helping" him too much.

It isn't helping, his throws are all over the place. Out of 22 throws, 5 have been what I'd call "on target".

The kid is young and thinking too much,,,running plays machine like. Once he gets comfortable,,,look out!

Agreed. He did lead 3 scoring drives in the 1st half. Yes we all wish they would of been TD drives but I think we'll see a few of those in the 2nd half.

We playing ball control. We are killing clock time and we are controlling the game even with fast tempo. We need play action passes and we need Knight to settle down and make those throws. I think we will be fine. I like how we are running the ball and I think that is something that has been missing for a few years. I can definitely see the future is now and it is bright!!!

I read an article talking about how Knight was not impressive during spring practice but this summer and fall camps he clicked. I think this is going to be a similar process. He'll be slow and then it'll click. Hopefully it will click in the second half!! LOL!

I think we will be fine. I like how we are running the ball and I think that is something that has been missing for a few years. I can definitely see the future is now and it is bright!!!

Their are 2 main issues with the offense:

1. Guys running free in the backfield. I realize we've never been a paragon of keeping people stonewalled, but there are 2-3 leaking through on about every play. We are not going to be able to counter it with quick pitches against teams with more talented back ends.

2. QB Accuracy - He's just all over the place. If the offensive coaches don't trust the QB to put the ball in a safe place they are going to go into a shell.

Defense:

1. I like the closing speed of the DBs but man they are giving a TON of cushion (10+ yards). I'd rather them practice how we will play come big 12 time, not try to play vanilla up til Texas.
2. I can't tell if Tapper is really that good or if ULM's tackles are really that bad.

That is complete BS.....Metoyer was down by contact with possession, this isn't the NFL where you have to carry it like a baby for 9 months to "complete the catch"

In college football you still have to maintain possession to the ground. He didn't do that so the INT is the correct call.

I must confess, I'm stunned our D is pitching a shutout against these guys. Everything I've heard says their O is legit.

true that, but they did lose their bowl game to Ohio 45-14 and to Ark State 45-23 and Louisiana Lafeyette 40-24 in the regular season. Hard to gauge, but any shutout is nice.

It depends- "Loss of ball simultaneous to returning to the ground is not a catch". Basically they are not counting the knee touching the ground as part of the "return to the ground". At the point he hit the ball came loose.

Ground can't cause a fumble. Would this also apply to possession change during a pass reception?

The problem is that the rule states "return to the ground", not "when you are down". This is further confused in that while the rule specifically mentions foot, it doesn't mention any other part of the body.

The ball came loose when his elbow hit (which was before his body hit). If this were a running play it would be down by contact, for a reception its a tangled mess of confusing rules.

Actually we have 1 more soft home game, and then a bye weak before the real season starts at South Bend. I cannot say that I'm confident that Knight will be ready to go into Notre Dame, and win. However I would be confident if Bell was starting. Bell gives us a much better chance of winning.
