Eagles win in overtime and Tobychampstoria erupts in celebration.
Good leadership can turn it fairly quickly.
Good coaches can come into this crapference and win quickly. Lane Kiffin is the best recent example. That said, I don't think Will Hall is on the same level as Kiffin. I think he is an incremental improvement over Hopson. And if winning games were the missing ingredient at USM, USM's history would look much different.
Look for a few years of 8 wins instead of 6-7, but not much beyond that. Hope I am wrong (in the right direction).
Winning games has been little more than a distraction at USM since USM stopped playing teams that are worth a damn.
"Will Hall. I coached the FireAnts."
Pretty sure Will played for the Fire Ants.
Assuming they have him they were lucky to get him.
I was thinking that this could have turned out a lot worse, if it's really Hall.
Hall has kids. He may be looking for a way to move up the "totum" pole without having to rip them out of school. If "we" get him, it's likely a combination of that, and the fact that Tulane has reverted to their usual bad form.
23-20 UTSA is the final.
I think they said Tate has a shoulder injury.
Tate is injured and won't return.
23-20, Gore trying to lead the Eagles back
23-13 after USM settles for another field goal.
Who?
I think Goldstein is the long-haired dude who had some sort of special clipboard-carrying duty last season... basically the liaison between the team and the water boys?
23-10 UTSA on another rushing TD.
And the wheels come off the wagon...
16-10 UTSA after that ridiculous display.
Followed it up with a turnover (INT) and a facemask on the UTSA return.
Tim Jones' catch gets USM into the end zone for the first time today. 10-9 Eagles.
UTSA pass makes it 9-3 UTSA.
Looks like another fast start that just didn't turn into anything...
Yup. 3-2 your score on the fitba pitch now.
Looks like Tate fumbled out of the back of the end zone for a touchback.
Eagles squander another good drive with a botched fake FG.
Eagles settle for a FG after a somewhat protracted drive. 3-0 USM.
Opponent this week is 5-4.
all i got out of watching every play of that game Saturday was that both quarterbacks made a mistake transferring to fbs, even though im not sure if either could start in FCS
Lowe transferred from West Virginia, but if you piece together his recruitment it's a classic example of revisionist scouting. He had lukewarm interest from some SWAC schools (I know, BDR, I know...) and Arkansas State. Then, shortly before signing day WV took a flyer on him and suddenly he was a "three-star dual threat QB."
All that said, I'd still rather watch a whole season of Lowe than five more minutes of Jack "Garbage Time" Abraham.
