I think he finishes the half and maybe one series in the 3rd

He has been sharper

Defensive sub updates are greatly appreciated! Glad so many are getting snaps early.

No complaints about Hooker getting more passing practice

Sampson may be done shortly after the half too. He's put in work.

I didn't think the hit on Tillman was too egregious. I felt that was mostly on Hooker. Not sure why he's suddenly struggling with his accuracy. But overall I agree. They just went after Hooker's knee on the 4th down touchdown play, too. Hopefully Tillman is okay and we can get out of this thing without losing anyone.

And I know the Small injury turned out to be "upper body", but the replay showed them twisting his knee in the pile. :bird:

Aight! Sit errr'body. Some of this board's posters better get at least five snaps in the second half.

Smokey looked old running through the end zone. I think he is retiring this year. Looks ready. Poor guy.

It's a good thing this isn't a competitive game. Good grief, the officiating.

One of the worst roughing the passer penalties you'll ever see, a very questionable PI penalty that takes an INT off the board, and then clearly a pick at the goal line that wasn't even reviewed. How the heck do you not review that?!?

This game has done nothing to calm my fears about our defense.

I think the defense has played reasonably well. They didn't get as much pressure on the QB as I would've liked early, but they gotten to the QB more as the game has progressed. Akron only sniffed the end zone twice. Once resulted in a fumble and the other was the result of a series of terrible calls (and should've ended in another turnover).

He had 3 carries against Ball St. I think pass protection & learning the offense is his problem. He is just 3 games into his freshman year.  :toothless:

Those TD passes were nice to see from Milton. Although those receivers couldn't get more wide open. He may end up being an okay QB before he leaves Knoxville.
