That's No Moon

There are ways to win PS games that are bad. If we played 1s, 2s, or even 3s well into this game for example. or game planned a ton, or blitzed a ton. That's not what happened. They played their usual vanillaish game with the guys they should have been using and the game was won by a couple guys making individual plays, not because of scheme or lopsided talent on the field. Kyle Peko made 2 great individual plays on 3rd downs to get the ball back, Murphy's PR, even the GW drive. It was a scramble, a screen pass with penalty yards tacked on, and a square in. Nothing crazy, just well executed. The previous games the staff obviously had a plan and Beane alluded to it. They threw a lot intentionally weeks 1 and 2, ran a lot week 3. They didn't deviate from that plan regardless of the score in those games. Starters played appropriate amounts and, for the most part, the games were won by the backups (and in some cases the deeeep backups) That's fine with me. You want those guys to not be terrible and you want everyone balling out when they are on the field trying to win. Does it mean anything for week 1 that we won tonight? Not at all, but I like the way they did it.

Yarbrough will be on a roster no later than week 2.

There may be roster shenanigans with him. He might make the initial 53, then get IR'd so they can bring someone back but be able to activate Lewis later if they want. If they IR him now he's done.

29 but your point is well made. He's not a rock star, but he's consistent. His delta is small, while Bojorquez' delta is gigantic.

I think Duke Williams might have. He was consistently winning on the slant and using his body to shield off the DB. Plus he wasn't on at the end. I think Bob Foster's big ST tackle helped him a lot.

Captain didn't play a down tonight. Neither did Daryl Johnson even though he dressed. Rice and Ryan Lewis were on at the end, along with Siran Neal. I'm not sure Cam Lewis played either.

Pepper needs new shorts!

Ugly as sin.

Bates was 40 yards down field in front of him

That happened once. 1990. So, when is the parade? Saturday AM? Bloody Marys and a waltz around Canalside?

Looking like hot garbage for 57 minutes?

So it would seem. Good for him for impaling Sills.

Really. How many times have we watched that from the other side...

Exactly, it means nothing, but it's nice that our cannon fodder beat their cannon fodder and showed some moxie in the process.

Jackson is going to have to complete a pass. No.

Yeldon didn't play. Murphy is playing in the 4th quarter. Seems pretty straight forward. The only reasons Yeldon wouldn't play are they are keeping him, they are looking to trade him, or they don't want him to get hurt so they can cut him without a settlement

lol backdoor cover in effect

Neal and Mo Alexander still on.

I tried to watch UB on TV a couple times. They looked like crap every single time.

I doubt it. Maybe some of the lesser ones.

So he could have played lots of places in the grad transfer portal.

well when you try to go into the endzone like you're coasting in for an uncontested layup it will look like that.

Ray-Ray on the field with 4:30 to go doesn't bode well for him

So who in a battle is still on the field at this point (mid 4th quarter): some of the clear cannon fodder is on and some of the other battle players already came off.

Siran Neal getting 4th quarter time. That feels strange.
