Saw that and wondered. Looked very odd.

WKU probably beats us by 3+ touchdowns

I think we likely beat UMass and MTSU. But with that being said the thoughts of no bowl eligibility are starting to creep into my head.
Like I said right now I feel like we probably win both of those games but we’ve proved we just aren’t that good and we can lose to anybody.
Although very unlikely at this point I think there’s certainly a chance we miss a bowl for the first time in program history.

Hard fought game last night. We get the 4th and 1, continue the drive, score a TD late and probably get the win.

With 3 regular receivers out I'm surprised we hung in till the end. Everyone played hard. With regulars out, timing was off on most passes and nothing deep came close. Glad to see we cut down on penalties.

I wouldn't want to play for Rodriguez, he's unhinged :lol:

In fact, there is a game scheduled for tonight on the mountain against a formidable opponent. Also contrary to the somber, defeatists mentality that is all over social media, the Flames have not lost any of their year end goals with the loss last week. LU had a 0.001% chance of getting a spot at the CFP had they won out with the resume that would have been presented.

I truly believe last weeks loss is a good thing and will rev up the engine of this team. It was a better to lose to a KSU team out of conference contention than a loss to JSU or WKU.

Lets go Flames!
This didn’t age well

Injuries
Flood affected games
Penalties
Nearly 0 home run plays
Very few TOs forced
And 0 energy

we played above our heads last year and are playing below our knees this year
Love that last sentence

I think he received an unsportsmanlike conduct for it. Strange indeed.

Missing top receivers or not, I thought Salter's throw were, for the most part, lackluster at best. I think he needs a re-adjustment in several areas of his game/life. I don't see any passion or excitement in his demeanor at all.

Agreed, He seems like a different player this year. Interestingly enough, he might have played his way out of a potential chance to be a late round draft pick. Because of that, I would guess he will utilize his last year of eligibility transferring after the season. Something is definitely off this year.

Salter's throws have often been short and at receivers feet. Not sure if something is off on his mechanics but it's clearly not good enough. Salter's body language all season has kinda been as if he were going through warm ups. Cam Ward plays like that at Miami but he delivers. Can't act all cool and then be average.

Not sure who else caught this but in the B-Roll footage that was played on the CBSSN broadcast, there is a zoom in of Salter warming up, throwing with helmet on. Someone comes into partial view of the camera and they do some type of personal greeting. Salter makes a gesture where he "grabs" something from the person with his thumb and index finger, places his fingers next to his mouth and then lifts them in the air in an apparent pursing of the lips. This is mimicked by the unidentified other person, simultaneously. I immediately thought it was a bad look but just ignored it. Went back and reviewed the footage and... man is it a bad look. He either is a big fan of pixy sticks, on Halloween eve or he is still haunted by other demons.

Do your own interpretation and tell me where I am wrong. I have YouTube TV and it is at the 2:10 mark in the pregame broadcast.

I’ve been watching RPO’s and Spread Option since 2005. I’ve never seen a QB make so many misreads as this year. Marked loss of focus at the mesh point. It was brutal sometimes last night. He’s gonna get Cooley killed one of these times.

How's Jayden coming along? Maybe he sees a little playing time this season.

He entered the Portal last year. I would not have taken him back after that. But I don’t make $4 million a year so what do I know
