vs. Murray State (9/18)

[MarkL]

I'm real curious if Kent is going to make it 3 straight years scoring 62 points against BG. That will be a good game to measure defensive improvement.

[Schadenfreude]

I’d say they have a good chance against Akron and maybe Ohio.

Maybe Northern Illinois, too. That's an extremely young team, too.

This.

Kent is really good and may very well win the MAC this year. It will be a tough one, but that's going to be a nice measuring stick for our program.

Watching on replay again....here we go....

Some axe throwing.....The stands are packed for homecoming....literally hundreds of people here for this game.....

Anders is back-----Workaholic baby

I guarantee you I am the only one muting the Dallas-LAC game for the BG game on the planet right now.

That was a crazy int....that guy might be very hurt.....don't you have to give him a chance to land or something....WOW.. If he didn't break his neck he is lucky....thats insane....I feel uncomfortable. Holy smokes....

So far so good on Offense....just look like we overmatch them, which is what we want.

Patterson TD. This game might be boring and thats a good thing.

Great tackling so far. I remember when we couldn't tackle anybody!

McDonald with a great throw on 3rd and 9..That's awesome

D is struggling a bit after a bad offensive series.....

Ferguson with a huge pass break up....That guy might be an NFL guy....he is everywhere.

Bad field position....

I really like McDonald. He is steady

McDonald with another 3rd down pass....I know he might be all over the place and I literally watched no games last year, but he has been great when I have watched him.

What a catch by Osborne....

This offense is cooking....at one point I said where are the athletes.......There is one.

We could really use a dynamic RB. There has to be someone on the team they could give some snaps to.

I don't think you can face guard so that's pass interference.

I have fallen asleep three times this last series....they scored a TD and just methodical.

My favorite players
O-McDonald-Sims and Broden
D-Anders and Ferguson

Broden just quit on an int....that was bad

This DL is fun to watch very energetic

They tied it up....Our D just is missing something....I know this is a decent Murray St team but we should be able to stop them.

On Offense just need to get rolling.

2nd and 18.....now 3rd and 25........

I am just truly bored out of my mind....i don't think Sims or Broden have enough catches.

Spires might be the best DL but man this DL is great.....Lots of energy...great sack to push them back, can't believe we didn't recover.

That end of the half was a shi**how

Hard for me to believe Keith isn't our best RB...

That play by McDonald and Sims was AWESOME....

I think Sims-Broden and Ferguson will all get into NFL camps....probably McDonald too. Curious to see who from the DL ends up there....There are building blocks here.

So you have 6 other spots there and they are mostly the OL.....I will have to try to watch them in the second half to see who stands out there
QB McDonald
RB Keith
WR Broden
WR Osborne
TE Sims

8 other spots on D but the DL overall really looks good. Just hard to tell who is standing out the most.
DE Spires
LB Anders
DB Ferguson

TD by McDonald was great.

McDonald is just throwing great. Osborne was great on that play.

Patterson is good...he is fine...But Keith is a stud...you can see it. I don't mind them using all 3, I just want to see Keith the most.

This D is full of playmakers....I am having a hard time seeing who they all are. Huge sack by Horne

Nick Mosley with a run....love it...Lets get a dynamic back back there.

Seems obvious we are going to win this one.

TD Keith
I know we talk about how this roster is pretty bare but there is good depth at RB-TE and DL already AND talent at QB, WR, LB and S

We are going to get some backups in....I love that.....

I really like Spires

This looks like a team with building blocks to win the MAC.

Dabney has had a great game INT

I hope they throw a new QB in....Maybe too soon. Just want to see some other guys

Moseley is it I think....I love the 4 RB rotation but hope they go with the hot hand when it's important.

Started to look at stats.....How do we only have 4 tds in 3 games....Is that true. That seems wrong.

I like Patterson but he is not dynamic....really would rather have them play Mosley or Keith at RB

WE win.....Now I will read all your thoughts

Globe, just put the score once in awhile and I won’t need to watch it.

[Schadenfreude]

Broden just quit on an int....that was bad

Yeah, I kind of blame him more than McDonald. Go in there and try to get it!

From where I was sitting, it looked like Matt lofted it a little too much, but it wasn't less than a 50/50 ball. It hung up there forever - we gotta turn around and make that play.

I appreciated that Loeffler noted postgame that despite Matt being 22/28, he felt like he should've been 25/28. Love that he demands more despite a great performance, and that he continues to preach discipline.

Yeah, I've seen enough from McDonald this season to be pretty happy with him. He's not a savior by any means, but he has made consistent and solid throws this year, despite not always having a whole lot of time in the pocket. It's night and day from last season. Makes me wonder why it was even worth having him out there if his shoulder was that bad.

Happened almost right in front of us, I thought Broden gator armed it and didn't fight hard enough for the ball. It was slightly overthrown, but you expect to see more effort from your WR on that kind of play.

[MarkL]

Watching the replay, I don't know if Broden gave up on it so much as he misjudged where the ball would drop. I'm thinking it was less an effort mistake and more a rookie mistake. Regardless, McDonald's first pick of the season is 100% on the receiver.

[kdog27]

Finally get to fly the W flag. Would be nice to be 2-1 heading into a sure loss next weekend, but glad the losing streak is over.

Oops

Glad to be wrong sometimes.

[gspointer]

It was very nice to get back out to the tailgate and the Doyt on a gorgeous fall (late summer) afternoon! I do love the 5 pm kicks.

Great to finally get a win!

The defense played really well for the first, third, and fourth quarters. Great game from the guys.

I thought McDonald mostly played pretty well. Bad int though.

The end of the first half is yet another indicator that we will never win close games with Loeffler. Just a complete s**t show drive and he was content to gain zero yards even though they had all their timeouts to use. Very fortunate to get the hold (and follow up with a nice sack fumble, weird call though). I was really getting worried that we were going to end up down at the half.

I still hate our offense. It worked ok today but way too many heavy and tight formations, I just can't see us moving the ball at all against decent teams. Did use motion to some effectiveness but they better learn the rules about motion.

The officiating was not great but gotta figure out what they're calling and clean it up, can't keep commiting that many penalties.

So nice to finally see a win.

Egg-face plant. Never win a close game…. Admit your wrong dude. Never is never…,
