SMU Game Thread

[cmullinsTU]

Anybody else remember about 2 years ago when SMU was poaching our coaching staff and hired Coach Morris? I remember being very disappointed in TU. Fast forward to today and I love the staff we have in place and am glad those coaches moved on.

Let's go score 9 TDs on SMU tomorrow!!!

To be fair, he had been at Clemson two years after us. I always thought he was better at playcalling than Gus. He wasn't really a legitimate option after Graham left.

Now, SMU taking Van Malone and some of our alumni was annoying.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Oh sorry Gold. I was referring to them taking Van Malone and Jess Loepp

I think Coach Norwood and his DBs are playing at a really high level right now. SMU was downright broken after June Jones left, we were just stuck in the mud. Obviously had the horses to get out of the mud but the plan was wrong.

Didn't we get our defensive cord. Away from them

Young was going to be a co-DC or some sort of consultant. I also think Tulsa holds some sort of comfort nostalgia for Bill Young and he felt it was a better place for him.

Ahhh, I see what you did there! I like it. Hell yes we stole him back.

Holy smokes tonight's uniforms are bad ass

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I'm obsessed with the unis.

Some photos of the unis

I guess I'll have to wait it comes up on espn2.

Can you see the photos I posted right before you

Unis look good. SMU brought the cheerleaders, full roster, and the band. Most fans wearing black for TU.

 

[TU 1978]

Can you see the photos I posted right before you

Yes! We posted almost simultaneously.

 

[Novocaine]

God the weather couldn't be any better ever.

 

[TU_BLA]

Only thing that could make those uni's pop even more is a gold foil number/lettering outlined in the red.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Man unis look sharp, weather is nice, and I hate SMU as much as most people on here hate CougarKitty. Everyone cheer extra loud for me. Disappointed I can't make it.

 

[JesseTU]

SMU kicker hit 2 field goals from 57 yards with plenty to spare. Solid looking...

 

[TU 1978]

Defense!

 

[JesseTU]

Good to get the first 7 of 31 points out of the way early..

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Pretty good start!

 

[astonmartin708]

What was the personal foul for!?!?!

 

[TU_BLA]

That looked like last year's defense. Wrong places, tons of missed tackles. Our ST better start tackling too.

 

[TUGrad06]

Well, maybe we'll get to break the record we just set last week?

 

[BigRedStevo]

Biggest difference is the pop on defensive hits is gone. Go smack somebody in the mouth.

 

[Bill Lowery]

Terrible, terrible defense. We're getting shoved around and we're hand tackling. We played like a bunch of junior high kids. We better buckle up or we will get kicked all over the field.

 

[TUGrad06]

Bad pass on that 3rd down. Easy completion with a good pass.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Love Nigel Carter's size and speed. But man, his hands are turrible.

 

[TU_BLA]

Seriously, do we have reliable WRs other than Lucas and Atkinson? Carter seems to drop everything before the 4th quarter.

 

[JesseTU]

3 commercials in the first 5 minutes. TV is killing love sports.

 

[TU 1978]

Time for defense to pop and Carter to sit.

 

[HuffyCane]

That's on the WR. Bad route. Carter needs some discipline and Bitson better start giving it.

 

[HuffyCane]

Nice. You can tell that check down is from a QB2

 

[RealTUTypical]

Only thing that could make those uni's pop even more is a gold foil number/lettering outlined in the red.

Ha! I just said the same thing on another thread. Great minds!

 

[RealTUTypical]

Time to hit em down the field and get on the board.

 

[HuffyCane]

Speaking of poor discipline from the WRs. Nice way to follow the play by Hobbs.

We've got some amazing physical tools at WR, but the lack of fundamentals are glaring at times.

 

[TU_BLA]

What good are 6'3" WRs if your QB doesn't give them a chance to catch the ball

 

[HuffyCane]

Didnt their DT Gentry commit to us at one point?

 

[TU_BLA]

Our KO coverage is awful

 

[TU_BLA]

Our D just got torched by a flag football play. We can't tackle. How do you not cover one of the better WRs in the country? Twice?!?!
