Never a doubt in my mind...

Well, that was fun, now time to hit the hay!

Axe'em!

Yep. Good to see them rebound. I hope it continues into next week.

That was a tough game considering everything.
The weather. The rain delay. On the road.
I'll go ahead and say I was wrong for my statement about trying Maurer out in the second half. Trae played really good football in the second half and made some really big plays to help us out.
Defensively those halftime adjustments were astounding to only allow 3 second half points after looking so inept to start.

It was one game against a team that only won 6 games last year, but a much needed confidence boost. La Tech will be a challenge but hopefully that confidence is returning to the Jacks and they can play to their potential this coming Saturday.

Don't want to overreact because for as good as today was, we have played 3 good quarters of football out of 7 full quarters, and consistently needs to be established. But that second half was a good sign.

No-look said:

Hopefully we can get it together.

Yes, Gipson was shut out, as ASU really had the DB's all over him, Wedman, Rikel, and Thompson all benefited from that and had TDs as all that attention on Gipson left others open.

According to what was heard on the radio when the ref made the call, it was a personal foul, punching a player, and then the ref said something about (pushing) a ref in the same call, and Harmon was ejected from the game.

Gipson was just targeted once by Self, and that was in the 3rd quarter, and it turned into a 15-yard pass interference call against the DB.

Nice to wake up to a win. I had to put it away around 11:00.

We've got to get the passing game going.

On the tv broadcast the call from the ref was for pushing a ref

I stand corrected.

The play was on the opposite side of the field in the midst of a scrum, so I couldn't see it. Yes, the first was for throwing a punch, and the second was for pushing a ref.

Lack of discipline is big. Harmon, a single digit guy, losing it. A personal foul on a punt turning the ball back to them. One of the best linemen in the WAC jumping three different times. Not counting his holding penalty that brought back a long run. Alcorn was the team playing their first game of the season. They had more poise than we did.

Just like against JSU, our lines were dominated in the first half. That changed in the second half. Defensive adjustments, and play calling much better in the second half. I don't know that Alcorn wins many games this season, although they have a running back I would take, but we needed this win.

A three hour and twenty minute delay, and some question if the game would be played at all, was tough. There was some discussion about playing it on Saturday, but the weather forecast wasn't any better. Alcorn opened their gym for us to wait in. Hated missing out n the Alcorn band. Was looking forward to that show. With no commercial breaks, a game really moves along. Done in less than three hours.

We looked pretty solid on the D-Line last year. Sure there was some dips. All in all it seems like the D-Line has taken a step back.

I was looking forward to a very aggressive, blitzing defense, but different DC's comes different approaches.

Totally open to being corrected, but the Jacks have to be concerned about their defense against the run. After getting clobbered by Jacksonville State's running game, they gave up 285 yards on the ground to Alcorn State. If I were scouting for an upcoming opponent, I would recommend running it down SFA's throat.

Again, I may be totally misreading the situation, but I'm concerned...I expect the coaching staff to address it, but they better sooner than later.
