Our second team offense is much much better than least years.

Hell, our second team everything is great, except special teams. That one is going to bite us in the ass at some point.

I’ve never been a kicker, but kicking it out of bounds seems like it would almost be more difficult to do than kicking in play.

Patrick Duchien finally keeping the ball in the zone read game and showing off his wheels. Wilson is fast but Duchien isn't no slouch.
Really would like to see Wilson get a shot though... he's so electric

He's clearly trying to angle it into the corner to limit returns.

Yea… that’s what I was wondering about. Although he seemed fine moving on the sideline

I really love how the offense is working. If they commit to stopping the run, the passing game is going to make them pay. If they commit to stopping the pass, you get what we had today. Cody Hawkins was right with his comments before the game, it’s a very good, well balanced offensive game plan. Better than last years.

He still had his pads on and his helmet in his hand on the 4th quarter.

I wonder if he just had a minor tweak after that spin he did.

Oh dang, Davis with a club is a scary thought for defenders! Thank god for this coming week being a bye week. I think we will get a number of dudes back!

I don’t think our snaps have been great for a while

A little slow and several high. Young group. Talented but inexperienced

High snap every time which then takes longer for the holder to place. Kicker does a slight stutter step because timing is off.

Tarleton and MSU winning out and ending up #2 and #3 on the same side of the playoff bracket would be an absolutely dream scenario. Shades of 2021 all over again.

I see we scored on a Julius Davis TD pass reception. Anybody able to get a feed on tv?
I got it on Espn +
Is your audio feed choppy?
Mine is very choppy as well
Two weeks in a row with ESPN+ having technical issues…
Audio this year on the broadcasts have been bad. First few games I could hear the crowd and field noise but not the announcers. At least I can see it live verses the delayed broadcast on PBS back in the day.
I watched other games including Cornell @ Harvard. Audio was excellent on each one, as well as video. But week after week from Bobcat Stadium the audio is a ness ine way or another. Today it sounds like chopped salad. Until Grace Lawrence came on the sideline, at much greater volume. That volume continued back to the booth and some of the chop disappeared. The interference with the stadium announcer continued all game. Not so bad today, but Ben’s voice has been loud and Ty (true to life) has been almost too soft to hear. They really need customized setups for audio. The balance was better today, but audio was never clear.

I don’t think it’s ESPN+ since other schools are typically clear. I hope MSU can have someone sample the ESPN+ broadcast and clear up the audio issues.

The video and color were excellent today. Very fun to watch. I do wish the camera operator would zoom more when the play allows. I see that’s typical on other broadcasts.

And I love having the names on the jerseys. Cornell and Harvard looked too plain. Our uniform combo today was miles ahead of the Ivy looks. ‘Cats really look like an elite team on the field.
