2023 Week 1 Game Thread - Coach Zach Arnett Debut

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Both of our QB’s wouldn’t start at Vandy.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Rogers is not helping us here. I want to see wrught so something besides run.

 

[Anon1669338224]

We really should have kicked it there just so two scores don't beat you

 

[RockyDog]

I've seen both the 'trick' plays already from watching App State tape.

And we have zero talent at the TE position so you can forget any production from there

 

[horshack.sixpack]

I didn't particularly appreciate bringing Wright in for a couple plays in the first half. That got Will out of his rhythm, and he never got back in it. You have to let the quarterback play the entire series or leave them on the damn bench.

Putting will at receiver feels like you are playing with 10 instead of 11. Not worth it. What’s the purpose? Maybe once this season we lateral to Will on a trick play?

That may be what's wrong with Will because he made a couple of good hard throws on that drive that fizzled out because of our playcalling. WTH were we calling there at the end of the drive?

 

[FlotownDawg]

We’re only averaging 3.5 yards per carry against an FCS team. That’s pathetic.

Yeah just play wright for the series or just play will

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

If we can't run we just need to sling it

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We still don't have any defense on the outside of the ball. All you have to do is run a sweep.

 

[FlotownDawg]

If we can't run we just need to sling it

We tried that for three years and a lot of our fans didn’t like it.

 

[Will Rogers.sixpack]

Our new uniforms are about as exciting as our new offense. This is Will’s mom btw, just using his account while he’s out playing.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

It's good to see that old MState tradition of playing down to our opponent carried on with the new staff.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

Need a TD on this drive. Come on, Dogs! Let's go!!

 

[onewoof]

Is this coach out coaching Arnett?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

What the hell happened with Creed Whitmore?

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

We tried that for three years and a lot of our fans didn’t like it.

Well, it was more dink and dunk than slinging it, but yeah.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

I'm just saying adjust the offense to what you are doing on the field. We aren't running much outside. That's marks strength. This is like Holloway up the middle. Marks isn't Dixon

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I feel a pick 6 coming

I think it grew on fans. Many would have been happier with maybe 6-8 more run attempts per game. Losing Dylan isn't helpful. He ran hard.

 

[tired]

Wrights passing ability can’t be much worse than Rogers.

Rogers passing or actual throwing ability is fine, he just doesn't want to step up. Chickenchit I guess. It's why he can't see down the field. Surely the coaches see this.

But he's not the only one playing like azz

 

[ckDOG]

If today isn't a Leach hangover we can kiss the bowl streak goodbye. This is no bueno

 

[57stratdawg]

Wright 100% been a bright spot today.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Mike Wright for 54.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Pittman packs a load

 

[thatsbaseball]

Wright 100% been a bright spot today.

I think that's who the team wants on the field.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

More wright and Pittman. This offense if this is what we are running are better with them. Marks is okay. Will just a gimmick air raid guy

 

[ckDOG]

Wright 100% been a bright spot today.

Wright, Pittman, and Whittemore have all showed up. The rest appear to be napping.

 

[PBRME]

Wright and Pittman need more touches.

 

[Podgy]

If Wright ends up starting over Will this year, that's a problem. That says we've installed a new system that doesn't suit one of best QB's in State history and one who has led the team to 3 bowl games. Wright looks like he needs to play more in this game though.

Play them otherwise it's just more crap saying best will play. Right now they are the best

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

What the hell happened with Creed Whitmore?

2 things: He dinged his leg and Tulu came back

 

[preacher_dawg]

We might look rough, but Wisconsin is tied with Buffalo, and it's almost halftime. Buffalo is continually in the bottom five of the country.

Go Bills!! Oh, sorry.

 

[Anon1669338224]

Why take whittemore off the field?

Will has the best stats, but he’s a mediocre QB. The vast majority of his throws are screens. He’s subpar going downfield.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

Well that was a pretty decent drive. I'll take it!

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Struggling but that was a nice play call on 3 and short for the TD.

How many more screens does Will need to throw to say we arent wasting him?
