I am curious why we didn't try to run some of our bigger backs more.

Agree. I thought Cheese was trying to be too shifty. Bell started that way, but got more agressive toward the end of the game. Wander why we didn't run Luke Harris more, he has better size than Bell or Cheese. I understand Miles was sticking to the plan to establish the run, but it seemed like we could have tried the pass a bit more, my view was through the BTN so I couldn't see the pass coverage otherwise.

I am OK with the end result, but would have liked to see more offensive production overall. Obaseki is an absolute bad MF, he ran through his man several times. I Really liked Roberts aggressive play, he was everywhere. I believe we will be very competitive in the Valley and against WKU.

Getting back to a conversation I saw earlier in this thread, I think the WV is extremely cool. Yeah, we recruit kids from all over the country. Hope we do more of it after this week, but the team and school represent TH and the Wabash Valley. Fresno State has worn a V on the back of their helmet for years for the same reason. All I ask for is consistency. If we're doing it now, let's still be doing it in 20, 30 years.
 
I was at the game....and I'll say there were lots of positive take-aways for the the team and coaching staff....no one showed any disorganization, everyone knew who was supposed to be on the field, we weren't short players with players running in...or too many players running out because of too many...also, none of our players reacted to any of the PS players pushing and shoving after the whistle....they were very cool.

hey, it's the basics that win games......now that I did my positive spin, here's the bad...and I'll only do it on one subject and I pointed this out before the season started....if we don't have someone practicing short and long snaps 100x's a practice, we aren't doing something right......well that showed UGLY on our only FG attempt....and on all of punts...beside the grounder on the FG, none of the punt snaps were crisp....they were all slow and wobbly....and one almost went over the punters head.....We cannot move to the next level of competetiveness if can't do something as basic as snapping the ball!!!!

and speaking of punters I don't know our punters name, and I need to look it up....but if there is a more accurate punter in the country...I want know who it is. His punting isolated PSU returners time and time again to field punts along the sidelines...excellent way to isolate the returner....he had one bad punt, but when you punt that many times...hey, you might just have a bad one.....IMO, he was All-American first team on Saturday.
 
Santino Davis. Sr. Linebacker stepping up to fill that duty. Kid is sacrificing a starting lb spot to play where needed.

I will eat my crow on this kid...and gladly. I have never been happier to be wrong because I thought for this team to take the next step we would have to replace him at punter...he did a flat out amazing job Saturday and is a great young man. Keep it up santino...
