I read in the Temple Daily Telegram there were only 1 and 2 receiver routes being run. There are several talented receivers in the stable at UMHB. With 8-9 in the box need to spread em out and then you can still gut them with the run. I know how hard it is to call games so I am not knocking that. Seems like every year it takes a loss to wake us up.

I bet the guys cant wait to get back on the practice field Tuesday.

Shut the run down and make us throw the ball. I thought we were past that with Bailey/Noack at QB. Putting Noack in the last 2 minutes is probably not fair to him, since it was cool and windy all day. I would have prefered a change at half or 4th qtr to allow him to get into the flow of the game.

I think Noack should have been in sooner as well.  In the first half the MC announce team noted that Bailey was not pitching the ball.  They said his options were "run or throw."  The one time he did pitch it went for  -7 because he threw the ball almost straight backwards to Mays.  I think at least part of that is inexperience and him trying to do too much.  The run was somewhat successful, but the option was too "one dimensional" to be effective.  I think a change at half could have made the difference, but maybe not since Mays was the only RB left.

So I just listened to the recap by Pat and Keith and Pat said MC was 480 miles from Belton so they could be matched in the playoffs if both teams win out. I have looked and I see it is 520 miles according to google, what map source does the NCAA use?
That might not be a bad thing.  This game was very winable.  A rematch could be good to watch.
One of the weaknesses with Bailey is the option pitch. Not sure what type offense he ran in high school but he has to work on deciding when to pitch.

what week are we in? First week you got ALL the games right. GOOD JOB. WAY TO GO. 1 out of 7 ain't bad. You should go buy a lottery ticket now too. Picks for this week?

The biggest concern for the Cru is the health of the Center Dustin Davis. They are pretty thin up-front and he is an All-American caliber player. So that is an interesting development. I hope Q is healthy and a younger player will step up to fill the void left with Williams injury.

sorry to change gears on the conversation....but I was curious what happened to Feaster this year.? I remember a lot of talk on this board in the preseason on how he was left off the preseason all american team.

I assume he got hurt because he's only played three games. was it season ending?

Feaster and 3 or 4 other starters were injured in the second game at Linfield, OR.  It had a dramatic and devastating effect on the entire season.  But younger players have stepped  up and gained some important experience for next year.  They have improved each game!!!  We are proud of the entire team!!!

Unofficially, Feaster will most likely "red-shirt" and be back next year.  Things are looking up on the HSU campus and the fans are optimistic!!!

Go COWBOYS!!!

According to the TDT, Davis will be fine but Quincy Daniels and Rickie Williams are going to be out for this weeks game. Also LiDarrel is listed as the starter over Kyle Noack.

that hasn't meant so much this year.  Noack was listed on the 2 deep as the starter when LiDarrall started at least once, but I doubt Noack will start.

Feaster's injury did in fact end his season for playing.  The doctors treating the injury made it very clear that just being able to throw the ball some didnt mean the injury was healed.  He did try to play in the 4th quarter against Louisana College but it was obvious his shoulder was not ready.  After hearing that Sam Bradford injured his shoulder again during the Texas/OU game, it made me realize that these types of injuries do need to be completely healed before trying to play.  I know Justin wanted to play the rest of the season more than anyone else.  He talked with me about finishing what he started with his fellow Seniors.  He is a fighter and wants nothing more than to be on the field with his teammates.  The Cowboys have definitley been hit with injuries.  From the 1st game to the end of the 3rd game there were 6 players on the 2 deep roster that were injured; one with a broken hand, one with broken foot, two kinee injuries, one shoulder and  one concussion.  One has been able to return.  Hopefully, the others will get the chance to return next year.

WIAC schools will play each other a second time to cut costs.

They are also restricting the number of out-of-designated-area (plane flight) games, so this might cut down on the option of the ASC to play WIAC schools.

Either way, they need to make a decision. If Bailey is going to be the QB, let him do it all the way. Yes he is going to make freshman mistakes and he will not have a grasp on everything but you can't do what happened last week. In the game the entire time until crunch time and they take the ball away, nothing that would have happened would have been good for the QB situation. If Noack drives the field and wins than you have a QB controversy, if Noack does what he did than Noack feels bad and Bailey feels like he does not have the trust of the coaches.

I agree totally.

Its a shame that Noack lost his starting job. Bailey is definitely more mobile but he lacks the experience neccisary. I'd be suprised after the game at MC if "THE CRU" makes it deep into the playoffs this year under his leadership. I'm not as concerned about the freshman mistakes as i am about the freshman inexperience bailey brings to the table. Seems like a year as the backup would have greatly helped his chances. Guess we'll see. I hope for the ASC's sake he proves my theories wrong. Good luck to everyone the rest of the way.

GO Cowboys.

Anytime you have a QB change there is controversy. Was the change too quick, only time will tell. As I stated in my rant Monday, no QB can overcome bad play-calling. MC took away the option and dared us to pass. We kept trying to run the option and that  lack of diversity is why we lost. 3 losses to Whitewater and 1 to MC followed the same MO. That is my concern for going deep into the playoffs, assuming we can get a Pool C bid can we change when a defense takes away our bread and butter. Athletic defenses can and will stop our running game. I apologize for my 2nd rant of the week
