Well, not done yet. 69-14. 1:24 left. HSU with 708 yards of offense. 453 passing, 255 rushing.

HSU defense has given up around 250 yards in offense.

Good day!

Much better second half by UMHB. Outscored ETBU 21-0, and limited the boneheaded penalties.

The OL and RBs were impressive. I think the path forward may be to lean on the running game to keep the defense off the field and limit the number of passes our QBs have to throw.

We'll definitely be underdogs next week and we have a long way to go before we can win that game, but the second half at least showed this team is capable of playing solid football when it wants to.

Good things from the ETBU game:

We rebounded and found some mojo/energy after a very flat first half. Good to see that and both sides of the ball played better in the second half.

The run game had a great day.

Bad things from ETBU game:

We started flat in a must win situation, why are we starting flat? That's frustrating.

The run game was good today vs a very bad ETBU defense but if we can't complete basic forward passes (not bubble screens) I can assure you the run game is right back where we were the last 3 weeks vs Hardin Simmons, you have to be able to pass a little to open up the box.

Lastly, we saw two new outside WR's in the game today that both looked like upgrades #81 and #86 both transfers that were actually creating some separation. Also Will McClintock was starting today at tight end and it's always great to have a huge guy at tight end, made a few nice catches and looked good in the blocking game.

I see that Kirkland Michaux is starting QB Saturday against Hardin Simmons. Has Coach Harmon made any reference as to why Michaux is still the starting QB? I think that Seth Mouser has shown that he is the better choice for the starting QB. If not Mouser, there has to be another QB in the QB stable (there are 8 QB's including Michaux and Mouser on the roster) that are biting at the bit to show what they can do. At this point I don't think the other 6 QB could do any worse.

It's worth noting there were no changes from the 2 - deep vs ETBU.. if we were going to make a change, which does feel like a possibility after Michaux's lack of production, maybe we wouldn't want to give that away before our biggest game of the season. At least I'm hoping that is the case.
