Texas St -6 over UlMonroe ****
Bobcats have lost 2 close games ..SMU 31-24 and a heartbreaker 2 OT loss to UTSA when their kicker Orano missed the extra pt to win the game and a missed FG in the overtime. Only a red shirt freshmen he pretended to have the C-19 so everyone on campus stayed away from him. this week[ I made that up}
Was at both games and Tex offense really gave SMU troubles .. McBride the transfer from Memphis is really a good qb with a lot of upside.. He is a poor mans Johnny Manziel .. Doesn't have the arm strength but his pocket awareness and foot work are very simaliar . He can step up in the pocket feel the pressure and run with the ball. but before game time McBride was benched for either c-19 or he broke protocol. Talking to students at the game Saturday they said he broke protocol.. But Spavital in his press conference this week and on the radio wouldn't say why he didn't play.. But McBride is back and will play on Saturday since he practice on tuesday with the team. Vitt started saturday and although threw for +350 yds still threw 2 interceptions that killed his team. He did look better then last year though. Tx was down 17 at the half and 13 in the 4th qrt and still came back and almost won. They couldn't stop mcCormick the rb from UTSA.
UL Monroe were beaten by Army 37-7 and right now they still can't figure out defensive assignments. If you watched the Army game the key was " misdirection" Army went one way and all 11 UL defenders went that way. Then Army ran a misdirection and all 11 Warhawks stopped and turned. Only problem was the Army RB was already passed the line backers ..I;m sure Tx St has scouted that and I;m more sure the UL defensive coord has made a few adjustments.. It hard to scout what anyone will do on defense vs an Army running option attack. But Tx Sy=t gas 2 decent rb;s in Stugess and Hill. Ans at Wr they have Haydel the wr who caught 9 passes vs UTSA and made the catch of the season vs SMU the week before. And he ran a 91 yd punt return vs UTSA to send it into overtime.. talk about a weapon..
UL defense was ranked last in the Sun Belt last yr.. they haven't improved much.. They start a qb who made is debut vs Army They do have a stud at Rb in Johnson even though Army held him to 38 yds rushing. TX couldn't stop UTSA back McCormick but this kid is better then anyone AM or Texas has.. wow follow his blockers,is patient strong and quick. super star in the making..
But McBride is back and that will be to much for the Warhawks defense to deal with. With some decent rb's and Haydel they should dominate on offense. Hopefully Bobcat defense play even with UL and slow down Johnson.. Although Tx St is 0-2 and UL beat them 24-10 UL had a qb Evans with over 10,000 yds in his career. He;s gone . Stop Johnson and Bobcats get a nice rd win by a tiuchdown or more As long as Orona doesn't have to kick a FG.
Back later with a few more games Smoo -North Texas ..
