Here you go, game is on the line, you have a chance to get them to kick if you tackle them, what do you do?
WCU Defense Player "I throw my shoulder at the player to get a big hit"
Congrats idiot, you just gave the game away...

Absent a few individual players, the special teams are terrible and have been terrible since Speir has been here. The special teams coach, an App stater, should have been replaced long ago. Can’t recruit a KO specialist who can get it to the end zone and can’t cover the KOs that don’t get there. Every team we have played has kicked it into the end zone the majority of the time. Not disparaging these first there teams but it is a reasonable expectation we could recruit with them on KO players.
No respect for our defense! Go for it on 4th down and one from their 19 in the first quarter – i.e. VMI or the most part last week. Go for it on 4th down and deep in their territory late in the fourth quarter.
Followed WCU football for over 40 years. We have never had physical teams. Even under Coach Waters, and I like most thought the world of him, we had a few good defenses, most notably 83 and 84. I expect us to get physically whipped on both sides of the line every time we line up. Not seen anything this year to change that at all.
We cannot lineup and give it to Young on third and short because we cannot line up and whip people. A lot of pressure on Adams.
All Furman needed was to play a game against Western to get their season started.
Wyche. Talk about a homer!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know what that halftime speech was, but the D other than the 1 really ugly play was good in 2nd half, and the Offense was incredible.
Still not good with the running teams we have to play and with Samford up next, but I thought this was the kind of game that might get out of hand earlier. If we somehow can play like we did in the 2nd half we can compete with several teams, but Wofford and Citadel will be licking their chops to run the football against us. And of course Samford will try to do what VMI did.
In the end, a kickoff return for a TD early and 2 red zone turonvers end up being the difference in us somehow stealing an away game and us now looking at a very tough road to sled going forward.
If we could have just got that 48 I said... but you need to win football games when you have 577 yards offense and 38 points.

As for the Furman comment - I really don't think this jumpstarts them. If they play a decent defensive football team I think they have some problems. This was their first game gaining more than 300 yards this season. They will have a hard time stopping Samford's passing attack, will have a hard time stopping Wofford and Citadel's rushing attack. I think this was probably two middle-of-the-pack SoCon teams playing a very entertaining game because neither one is really all that good. Decent - but too many flaws.

Enjoyed watching the 2nd half. I still feel WCU has some some more wins left.

I'm tired of the haters. If you can't get behind these kids and the coaching staff and be POSITIVE and SUPPORTIVE, please...for all that is holy, find another team to follow. These are 18 to 22 year olds, that make mistakes.
