Sort of an ugly first half. I'll take 174 yards against a good defense. 0-3 on third down and the turnover sting at the moment.

ETSU's offense is not that much different than Wofford's. Big offensive line, tight splits, and just hard running.

The passing game hasn't been there today, but the run game looks like it has been. Let's see if we just go that way in the second half.

Need to quit throwing on first down. It's stopped 2 of the first 3 drives.
don't start. We average close to 40 points a game.
Doesn't mean a thing. We have 10 today. Can't use any past points.
My point is that our offensive staff knows more about what they are doing than you do.



To me Grainger has just not made the right decisions throwing today, not finding the open guy

Sometimes things just aren't clicking.

Looking at the stats, the thing that jumps off the page is that we just aren't completing passes. Running game is there. Defense is there. Passing game isn't.

Grainger has had open receivers but just missed most it seems.

We have not called good pass plays today. Need to roll out more. Quit throwing those 40 yd sideway passes to the sidelines that get you nothing.

I agree a few of those across the field were dangerous pick 6 type throws

We have let them hang around when we had a chance to put them away. They think they can win now and will be hard to handle in the second half. We better get going!!!!

The fumble turned this game around. So many times one play can do that. Luck can help too. On the fumble, it would have gone out of bounds if it had not hit an ETSU player.

Grainger is having a really bad day so far, throwing and running the option, hope he turns it around

Just looks like we are in a funk. Need to wake up before it's too late.

They know we aren't hitting throws downfield. Their best players are on the end and they are stuffing the middle with linebackers.

Offensively. ETSU's defense isn't doing anything of note. High school offense. We just aren't moving the ball well enough.

Nice stand there.

ETSU's offense scored 24 against VMI in OT. They scored 20 against APSU. If we can get in the 20s, I think we'll stand a good chance.
