Now that its over im glad the team had to play four quarters to get a win. What was the center tossed for gill showed him no love. Not knowing what its about i think gill should have his back a little bit.

He kicked a guy in the nuts.

Chris Lang....did you even see what happen? Get your facts straight.

That is just dumb by the center, if you don't a center can cost you a gut watch the end of the A&M/Auburn game. Too close of a game, our D couldn't get a stop on 3rd down. I was really surprised it was 28-21 that late in the game. Glad they turned the ball over because not sure we would have made a stop.

Multiple people who were at field level told me that's what happened.

I don't think it was ever 28-21.

I hate to say it but that's exactly what he did...I get jobbed on here for having some sort of "man crush" on here for Lang but if there is one thing he doesn't do, its make crap up.

Anyway, as I said in the game thread...win em ugly, win em pretty, but at the end of the day, all you gotta do is have one more point than the other team and its still a win. they got the turnover when they needed it the most

Yep, Lang is straight up as 6 o'clock. Heard that it was in retaliation, but I didn't see any part of the play, was coming down from upstairs. God win but ugly.

One real positive was that the special teams had their most sound game of the year. Jalloh had a couple nice returns. Nothing flashy but no blunders either. Abnar has been a workhorse. Defense has to get it together.

They got it together in the fourth quarter. After what I saw in the past two weeks before this and that fourth quarter I have complete faith in our defense to keep playing at that level for the last two games of the regular season


I'll just leave this here

Not a prophesier or anything, but let the record reflect that I said it early on in the year, that if a team doubled Petey and we hadn't developed another number 2 WR we could be in some trouble. Well thats exactly what MU did and the outcome was almost not in our favor. Love me some DJ because of his work ethic and all that, but having to rely on him for 39 carries is a bit much of a work load, and to boot the backup to DJ is spotty. Yesterday just seemed way to close for me, there was not another downfield threat on the field, and all that did was condense the field in MU's favor.

On Defense, I thought what MU did could have been called for there late substitutions which in turn had our defense running around like headless chickens, (which we def don't need), trying to match up. For some reason we could not get off the field on 3rd downs. I know the sack was disallowed with a penalty(smh...lol), and other times they were able to complete them. Not sure if we blitzed him alot or relied on our front 4 to get there. In the fourth they did seem to get to him abit more and we seemed to cover a bit better on the back end. Not sure what happened with the RB#21 that allowed him to get off, that was totally unexpected, but hopefully we get it corrected and tcb next week, and with everyone healthy look forward to the business trip in Conway.

I must not have been at the same game as you. We didn't seem to have real problems moving the ball in the air. GIover's reception that got us to the 4 was as good as any Peterson reception. The people who sat around me never worried that we wouldn't move the ball in the air because there was no good "number 2 receiver." A good number of our 3rd down conversions were in the air, as well.

I agree. We ran the ball like 50 times for 200 yards roughly. Thats a grind it out attack. The only real surprise was that they got to josh several times. I didnt expect that. I just think we altered our gameplan a bit without the deep threat of shells once we saw they would double petey. 2 of the possessions we didnt score were abnars fumble and i believe gabe had a drop on 2nd or 3rd down that would have moved the chains and kept us driving.

Sure, we are better with Shells out there, but I find it hard to find fault with the productivity of our "other receivers" against Monmouth. Henderson, Glover and Kelly had a combined 7 catches for 119 yards in a game where we only threw the ball 19 times and completed 13. The other 6 catches went to the TEs and backs, plus the one TD to Petey.

Im with rogers, olldflame and jinxy on this one...you didn't have one guy step up...you had THREE guys step up and make some great plays for us to keep the defense for Monmouth honest

I didn't see any of the game since I was attending the ASU beat down of ND! (Is that name dropping? )
But a few observations from the threads
1. Coach Gill should never leave. We had some folks saying we should put him on the hot seat, but he's doing well now. However, considering how many fans I heard yesterday vociferously making cases for their coaches firing,this place feel like Nirvana
2. We won by 2 scores. That's pretty solid. You can't blow EVERY team out. Unless you are Coastal and playing a crappy schedule!
3. Never a good idea to call out Lang. He won't put stuff out there unless he's solid on its veracity
4. What BJ has for Lang goes well beyond 'Man Crush"
