TU @ MSU Official Game Thread

[TulsaAM]

THAT! What a catch and fight for the ball... No go for the onside kick and do it again, I've got my gold and blue colored glasses on

 

[nevadanatural]

I think I see what we need to do, chunk it long.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Great one handed catch by Crawford! 2 catches while being interfered with!

 

[TU_BLA]

And we get the ball to start the 2nd half

 

[URedskin54]

You like what you see from the offense I take it? Cool.

I don't think that's what I said, but maybe "He should have been fired 1 year removed from a 10-3 season?" means something different in another language

 

[Tulsafanzz]

So it looks like Burnett has already taken over for Revels and he appears to be an upgrade. Very athletic.

Actually, per the radio pregame show, both Burnett & Revels are both backups. They were both injured last season & are now part of our very good second team defense.

 

[URedskin54]

That may be the best half of defense we've played since 2012 and there are 25 points on the board. Crazy

Yes. He should have been.the last 2 years and this embarrassment are proof that was a fluke.

 

[TU_BLA]

-46 yds rushing. -25 on that on the 2 missed snaps.

Need to run Wilkerson a few times to just see if he can use his size to move the pile for a couple of yards.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Our offense is responsible for 22 points. Unfortunately 15 for MSU.

 

[URedskin54]

Yes. He should have been.the last 2 years and this embarrassment are proof that was a fluke.

We'd be hiring our next coach from the INFC if we fired a coach that took us from 2-10 to 10-3 after one bad year

Yes, Gus would have tried the onside when here.

Then who’s the started in that role? I can’t imagine that person playing better than Burnett played that half.

 

[maverickfp]

Ok, fury and rage subsided. Please, just no more bad snaps or turnovers.

 

[drboobay]

Obviously piss poor preparation on the part of the offense and special teams.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

I believe our starters at LB are Collins, Edmiston & Cannon.

 

[TulsaAM]

This is better than I thought it would be. Hopefully MSU doesn't open up the playbook in the 2nd half.

 

[astonmartin708]

I actually didn't hate Monty's game plan as far as offense goes. Our receivers have found holes and we've made the throws for first downs. I think this team will look better when we're not playing Michigan State. They're a bad matchup for us in terms of their run defense.

 

[astonmartin708]

Our O-line needs to gel. And with Smith being the established starter now, he'll have some more reps with whoever the center ends up being the rest of the season.

 

[drboobay]

Play has been incredibly sloppy. Seriously four turnovers and a punt block! In one half? That is a horrible embarrassment.

 

[I.I.]

Smith splitting reps with the centers for a year didn’t help.

 

[TU_BLA]

I believe our starters at LB are Collins, Edmiston & Cannon.

Ok. I haven’t seen Cannon out there much. I may be mistaken. I saw #6 who I thought was Revels, and #35 for most of the half after MSUs first drive. I thought Cannon was #4 and I don’t recall seeing him much.

And kudos to Manny Bunch. Probably the best I’ve seen him tackle while at TU.

 

[astonmartin708]

Michigan State is a team I would have loved to have played at the end of this season in a bowl game rather than an opener. Kind of like Iowa State in 2012. I think we could beat them if we had time to work out the kinks in the O-line.

 

[URedskin54]

 

[maverickfp]

Johnson is hurt. Keep him out. Zach throw behind too much on those quick outs.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Ok. I haven’t seen Cannon out there much. I may be mistaken. I saw #6 who I thought was Revels, and #35 for most of the half after MSUs first drive. I thought Cannon was #4 and I don’t recall seeing him much.

Cannon is #6. Revels is #4

 

[maverickfp]

Man. Good defense. A little nasty in them. I like it!

 

[TU_BLA]

Well our D has made the Sparty fans start to boo the offense

 

[maverickfp]

Please offense. Gel over the next couple weeks. This is a championship defense.

 

[TU 1978]

That improved Sparty offense is awesome! Keep it up.

 

[TU_BLA]

Ok. I haven’t seen Cannon out there much. I may be mistaken. I saw #6 who I thought was Revels, and #35 for most of the half after MSUs first drive. I thought Cannon was #4 and I don’t recall seeing him much.

Cannon is #6. Revels is #4

Thanks. Then Cannon played the 1st series but it looks like Burnett has played since then

 

[Tulsafanzz]

I would’ve gone for the punt block. No pressure = monster punt for MSU.

 

[TulsaAM]

Please offense. Gel over the next couple weeks. This is a championship defense.

This...

 

[TU Pilot]

I just don't understand how we have two bad snaps and all those penalties. Oh wait, I do understand. The HC/OC doesn't instill discipline in his players nor does he play the best players for specific positions, instead choosing guys who are older.

 

[URedskin54]

Get Wojcik's daddy off the screen

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Wheeler in at center on that last possession.

Bivens is at center now. They removed Couch.

 

[TulsaAM]

So the O-line has starters out, right?

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Bivens is at center now. They removed Couch.

Wheeler

 

[TU Pilot]

Bivens is at center now. They removed Couch.

Good. Let's see if it pays off. I still say Monty can't get proper discipline in the team... But I hope he corrects these problems.
