Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4396332, member: 289"] - Shrader continued his trend, (against BCS teams) of alternating brilliant plays with mistakes, especially those two interceptions late in the first half. Actually he was almost intercepted two plays in a row, (yeah, I know that’s impossible). It was two ill-advised “I think I’ll try this throws into coverage. Then he got excited after a 36 yard pass to Gadsden and tried to go deep again, throwing a deep sideline pass to the inside, where the DB could get to it, rather than on the outside, where only his guy could reach it. - We avoided penalties for most of the game but started to accumulate them in the late going while trying to nail the game down. Many were false starts or illegal formation type penalties we need to learn to avoid. Per Brent Axe, we are officially the most penalized team in the country. It’s amazing we have gone 6-0 with such a handicap. - The officials had a couple of peculiar spots and missed some obvious penalties, including a couple on us. Garrett Shrader seemed across the line of scrimmage on that replay of the big pass to Alford and Max Mang made an obviously downfield block on another play. But the interference call on Isaiah Johnson seemed bogus. - The injuries keep piling up. Garrett Williams missed the second half. Mikel Jones had to come out for a while. Duce Chestnut left the game. These are big names for us and I hope this promising season doesn’t fade because we can’t keep our beat players out there. - Can anybody tell me why, when we had a capacity crowd, Sections 304-307 were empty, as they often seem to be at the beginning of game? Some people filtered into those seats as the game progressed but I just don’t understand the phenomenon. [/QUOTE]
