That looked like a catch. Glad it wasn't. It would have been ESPN Top 10 worthy for sure. But he didn’t have control.

Let me guess.. Willis in charge of punt team? I was wondering who is. It’s been scary all three games. EDIT: No one is listed as a special teams coach on the website. Not surprising? King helps the kickers but it just calls him a volunteer specialist coach.

Went for it on 4th down. Didn't convert. Suppose it's better than another blocked punt.

I mean, I honestly thought this game would be worse. They are ranked in the Top 10 and have a veteran team. They just said the Mocs have 24 grad students on the team. Definitely some COVID years being used. Good for them.
I see glimmers of hope in this game but I was hoping for an upset obviously. Ya know, fairy tale stuff. Lol. I’d take a win on HC next week though!
Lots to work on for next week.

We don’t disagree. We’re not very good at all. But I was trying to enjoy my wine. Lol. I pray we beat Tarleton for HC. But I was there the last time they came into Braly in a D2 battle and the Lions lost.

We left after the second blocked punt. Got a sick daughter who my in-laws were gracious enough to keep but we figured we’d try to get back.
Thought Walters looked good at times, especially when he had protection. If we can have some balance on offense we at least have a chance in a few games.
UTC is a good team. Probably not at the level of some of the MVFC teams, but I think they’ll win the SoCon. Probably their best team in a long time.
We still have too many D2-level players. Not the kids’ fault of course, but it is what it is. Chattanooga’s offensive line just manhandled our D-line. Open holes and a clean pocket for their QB all night. Our O-line fared a little better, I thought.
I struggle to see a ceiling for this team above 4 wins. I want to be wrong, but I just don’t know. It’s a tough, tough schedule and we just still don’t have the horses to run with some of these teams. That’s not to say the coaching couldn’t be better, because it could. Let’s not even discuss special teams. But overall we just plain don’t have the talent most other teams do.

How was Walters not starting game 1? He made one bad mistake on the interception, we had a chance to pull within 6. We are 5 D1 offensive lineman, 1 D1 receiver, 2 D1 linebackers, and a D1 punter away from competing. The team actually fought with what they have, we have to ramp up recruiting/transfers this next offseason. I think we have a chance to improve a lot offensively this season. Offensive line is definitely a major area of weakness to overcome. Our tackles must get help on every passing down….and sometimes that’s not enough. Our backs are decent. Hall is dropping more passes than ever before, but Little and TK look solid. Swann is good. Colbert number 33 on dline is a player, watched him pressure the Qb a lot tonight and penetrate on runs. If 35 will come on in Dawson place at linebacker we could be ok there? Fields is an absolute stud at safety. He will be wore out soon if he doesn’t get help. Hopefully Woods is starting to pick up the defense. 1-2 and really should be 2-1 at this point. Can we get a win at homecoming? Tarleton State will be a tough game. Our defense will have to play better than they did tonight. Special teams must show up the rest of the season. Offense is going to need a semblance of a running attack to help young Walters out. Walters can absolutely throw the ball. We put some pieces around him and look out. Homecoming should be a good crowd, AU sucks and Bama plays Vandy.

I was at the game last night. I fully expected the offense to forget how to score points in the second half and that's exactly what happened. Was shocked about the 2 blocked punts. Disappointed that our cheerleaders weren't at the game but glad that the band wasn't (Pride of Dixie forever)
Other than that, I was impressed with UT-Chattanooga's stadium and had a sweet Banana Fosters funnel cake at the game.
