62-14. 5:32 left in 4th. HSU has 638 yards of offense. Good day!

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.

Never a doubt 🥴

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.

Also, wow.. that BJ Stewart is a special player!!

Making the trip to windy Abilene on Saturday, it's a big one!

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.

When you bring back the OC that won you 3 stagg bowls and your offense doesn't work, you need a new head coach.

umhbalum · October 11, 2025, 04:13:53 PM

Went back to the UMHB website, where I pulled up the live game feed, without issues. Now it. Brings up a HSU vs UMHB soccer game. Live stats brings up the UWW game...

Anyone else seeing this? This would be embarrassing if intentional. What a turd of a game for us

Program has come full circle. I was there for the first year of Cru football, at least back then you knew it wasn't acceptable and they worked to change it

UMHB03 · October 11, 2025, 04:20:41 PM

A loss today certainly would not have surprised me at all, but the fact that they didn't even show and compete with any semblance of pride is shocking. And appalling.

At this point, is there any argument for bringing Harmon back next year? I know D3 is not as cut throat as D1, but he has quickly destroyed everything that Fredenberg spent 20+ years building, and turned a once proud powerhouse into a master class in mediocrity in less than 4 years.

Embarrassing. Should make a statement and fire him middle of the season

What else can I add that hasn't already been said? What used to be one of the best D3 football programs in the country has been turned into a complete joke! This complete 180 falls fully on Harmon's shoulders! A lot of the players lack the required discipline needed to have a successful program. We have the OC that help UMHB win 3 National Championships, but for some reason Harmon won't let him continue what he does best. How much deeper in the hole does the program need to go before Harmon is shown the door?
