NM State's Week 1 "Highlights"

[ballcoach15]

We should be able to pick their secondary apart.

[Ill flame]

Should be a blowout but these long road trips make me nervous.

[Baybird]

I know many dynamics are going on, but LU needs this kind of OOC schedule.

[Sly Fox]

If you mean a road game at Kyle Field, yes please!

[Sly Fox]

Slow start as the offense looks out of sync. Why does this game have me feeling Louisiana-Monroe vibes. * SHUDDERS *

[aredd33]

Jamey Chadwell defense.

[Sly Fox]

Uh, when will we wake up?

Down 10-0 midway throigh 1st quarter

[phoenix]

Exact same pass that Campbell burned us with. No adjustment made in a week?!

[Sly Fox]

Perhaps this slipped passed me, but is Cooley injured?

[phoenix]

I was wondering why he wasn't in the game that close to the end zone.

[flamesfilmguy]

I’m coming back just to say: If we lose this game i will blame it solely on the fact that these uniforms are an affront to all that is good and right with the world. An atrocity of the highest order and regardless of what anyone says powder blue is not a liberty color hasn’t ever been and was only instituted because a former coach who just lost to Cal wanted it. We deserve what is happening right now. K bye.

[Liberty2020]

So, we are just not using RB1 this game, that’s cool. And the defense is Swiss cheese again. Makes me miss the hugh freeze defenses who actually stopped offenses

[phoenix]

They keep talking about how confident the NMSU QB is. If I knew that the defense wasn't going to touch me, I'd be confident too. Need a pass rush.

[Liberty2020]

Can we pay all the money to Scott symons to bring back some decent defense because it has been rough for awhile now on d for what appears to be 2 seasons now

[aredd33]

Jamey Chadwell defense.

[Sly Fox]

We look lost on both sides of the ball

[thepostman]

I expected a slow start but not this slow. Geez.

[Liberty2020]

Have they said why Cooley is not being utilized or what?

[phoenix]

No pressure on defense, secondary getting beat, offense running on two cylinders at best. If they don't get this fixed, it's gonna be a long season.

[Liberty2020]

Also this defensive performance is unacceptable, it’s like they forgot how to play defense these past two years.

[aredd33]

Also this defensive performance is unacceptable, it’s like they forgot how to play defense these past two years.

That’s not new for Chadwell.
We inexplicably picked off 20 some passes last year so it masked the issues to a certain degree but Chadwell has not shown he is capable of putting a solid defense on the field.

[aredd33]

The defense accidentally stopped them. This is great.

[TH Spangler]

Have they said why Cooley is not being utilized or what?

Im guessing the plan was to run Blue at them early, and then turn Cooley lose on them. Playing calling looks odd.
