Western Michigan Gameday...

[OttoinGrotto]

20 years ago we would’ve thrown the ball 10 times all game, while Troy Nunes repeatedly ran the short side option in a 24-10 victory against these guys.

I used to dream of us throwing the ball all over the place in the Dome, like this.

YES THIS

 

[HOFCeluck]

I used to do this thing in Tecmo where I’d take Montana, run him back to the 1, and launch a 99 yard pass to Rice or John Taylor.

 

[OrangeDW]

Ha, ha. No dude, I’m very happy we’re winning. But I want to beat teams that are better than Colgate and WMU. I’m not seeing a lot of protection for Shrader. He’s improvising, yes, but we need to systematically take this team apart running our stuff. I’m not seeing that yet. When I do, I will acknowledge that. The best thing that’s happened so far is our schedule allows for growth, so I’m optimistic. Think of it as a quest for excellence.

ps I’m liking this drive

They are sending the house, and we are making them pay.

I don’t see the issue. We have scored every time we’ve had the ball and the only time it wasn’t a TD is because we dropped an easy one.

 

[David321]

Nice to see our line be able to get that easy push.

 

[SU91]

That was nice!

We have a 30 spot 20 mins into the game?

Oh you and your facts

 

[sdhall01]

Well I'm 6'3 but my forty time might be worse than our OL

I'm well below 6' and my 40 time is "completed"

You aren't paying attention then. OL has been fine. WM is sending the house and they haven't gotten to him once cleanly. He is slinging it downfield to make them pay.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Frosh Rashard Perry in as lead blocker. We had a Rhino. Do we now have Buffalo, considering his hometown.

Wait, for real?

 

[5OutFred]

Receiving corp depth has come a long way the past few years

 

[OrangeDW]

I used to do this thing in Tecmo where I’d take Montana, run him back to the 1, and launch a 99 yard pass to Rice or John Taylor.

Same!

Would also take a handoff and run backwards to the 1, just so I could juke through everyone for 99 yards with Barry Sanders or Bo Jackson.

 

[Bulldog04]

With a wide open drop td

 

[SuRaider307]

the play calls on that drive... were right on point.. more importantly..you can see becks influence.. Shrader immediatley identifies man to man and gets it to Hatcher... that is seriour progress for our offense..looking like we will be able to recruit offense moving forward...If we keep this up most of the year...WR will be knocking down our doors to come play here

 

[OttoinGrotto]

CDRW for the second half right?

We'll probably see Shrader for the first series under that whole "let's give the starters the chance to make a halftime adjustment" thing, but yeah, CD-RW should get plenty of 2nd half snaps.

 

[dwilmont44]

We gotta start running the ball so this game can end

i... agree... with... you...

 

[Toga]

On schedule for 93 points

 

[sdhall01]

They are WAYYYYYY to mouthy for being down 24 in the second quarter.

They just gotta play Bronco football.

Not enough.

 

[samspann1]

They just gotta play Bronco football.

John Offerdahl agrees

 

[blizz]

I'd pay at least $100 a game to have Justin Barron miked up. Dude is always chirping the most savage stuff...

 

[BomberOrange]

Do you have Apple TV, chromecast, fire Tv, Roku, ESPN app on your tv. Gotta have one of those.

I have fire tv

Receiving corp depth has come a long way the past few years

We might have had depth like this in the 90s when we didn't throw much and had Harrison and co but none of the recent teams have been anything like this. WR has been a huge weakness for a while so this is great and everyone has eligibility and should get better.

2018 Dungey spread it around a bit but all those guys went backwards the next year and straight up stunk w/Devito and Trish in for Ish.


Just hope we get to see these guys with a healthy OG. Wonder if Pena has lost his spot and is buried when he comes back?

 

[CanadianSU]

our offense is the QB scrambling around

Tbf that’s how great college football qbs are made!
