Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: murfvol on September 02, 2022, 01:37:36 EDT Not a bad first 10+ minutes of the season.
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 02, 2022, 01:39:15 EDT Does Tom Hart sound like he's coming through a tiny transistor radio for everyone else? The other guy sounds normal- I think it's just Hart's microphone.

2) Young guys are playing early. That wasn't just coach speak.

Burrell and Charles at corner Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 01:57:14 EDT Our coverage not improved
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: murfvol on September 02, 2022, 02:02:11 EDT Kind of a weak PI call IMHO.
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:08:07 EDT We got away with that a lot last year
The B/U WR and Hendo aren’t on the same page Timing is just a bit off Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:09:38 EDT Gained 19 yards on the exchange of punts

Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:15:34 EDT Haden with really nice play recognition on that 3rd down
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:16:05 EDT O.k., maybe the Ball State coach knows his punter better than I do. :dielaughing:Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: murfvol on September 02, 2022, 02:16:52 EDT Haden with really nice play recognition on that 3rd down Appears to be a willing tackler too Anything on interior DL rotation?

Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:35:39 EDT I think the call is correct
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: droner on September 02, 2022, 02:35:54 EDT What are they reviewing? If he was still in bounds when he lost control of the ball. Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:36:49 EDT Well, 2 really shizzle plays and we come out smelling like a rose
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:41:40 EDT Not a bad 1st half
VERY vanilla on offense, ain’t showing Pitt squat On defense playing a lot of people except at LB and Safety We are faster on defense, not sure we are that much better Banks was a non factor Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:57:00 EDT Our 3rd string and future TE is not dressed tonight

Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:11:05 EDT Warren doing the nasty work inside on the TD
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:18:46 EDT Same defense as last year
No rush without blitz and shizzlety coverage Safeties are a liability Banks screamed at Burrel after one 15 yard or so completion Banks was more active that series Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:20:20 EDT Stirl the Pearl entertains during th TO
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:22:24 EDT Milton the QB
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:34:48 EDT 1st of many for that young man
Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:35:48 EDT The entire 2nd team offense was in for that drive
I think Milton aimed it on the overthrow to the TE Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 02, 2022, 03:53:51 EDT Ugh. I really want to see Milton succeed. It would've been real easy for him to transfer.
But damn. He's STILL overthrowing everybody. :banghead: Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 02, 2022, 04:02:44 EDT Ugh. I really want to see Milton succeed. It would've been real easy for him to transfer. But damn. He's STILL overthrowing everybody. :banghead: Wonder why he has no touch? So bizarre :loco: Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 02, 2022, 04:27:51 EDT Wonder why he has no touch? So bizarre :loco: Since we don't have a prototypical short yardage back, why not Milton in the wildcat? He has the size to pick up the tough yards, and opposing defenses would have to account for his arm as well. :dunno: Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: Tnphil on September 02, 2022, 04:48:05 EDT Since we don't have a prototypical short yardage back, why not Milton in the wildcat? He has the size to pick up the tough yards, and opposing defenses would have to account for his arm as well. :dunno: Not big on contact. Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: BanditVol on September 02, 2022, 05:54:07 EDT Not big on contact. He lowered his shoulder on one play tonight, but ya, that's not his norm. But hey at least he didn't run out of bounds with no time on the clock. :dielaughing: Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: Creek Walker on September 02, 2022, 06:44:00 EDT Ugh. I really want to see Milton succeed. It would've been real easy for him to transfer. But damn. He's STILL overthrowing everybody. :banghead: By everybody you mean one tight end, right? :biggrin: I thought Milton looked very much improved. Relative to expectations, I was more impressive with Milton than Hooker tonight. Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 02, 2022, 07:02:00 EDT By everybody you mean one tight end, right? :biggrin: I thought Milton looked very much improved. Relative to expectations, I was more impressive with Milton than Hooker tonight. He was off on one that was bailed out on a PI, too. It won't go on the stat sheet, but we all saw it. He looked good on everything that wasn't in the EZ- but when he sees a slam dunk TD, he still seems to get out over his skis. |
