I have a friend whoās son played on the team that lost to MTSU in a bloodbath. We were overmatched and outmanned at every position in year 3 and first in FBS. The Dad was pissed that they were throwing half back passes in second half and running up the score. He thought MTSU were jerks in pounding us so bad when the game was out of hand in first quarter.
I believe in what goes around comes around at some point. It may not be this year, but at some point we will have the opportunity. I do not think Lambert would run it up, but most coaches would remember.
Very interesting stat here. Through 6 games Stockstill is their leading rusher. If heās out for this game, or even playing injured, I think our chances of winning go way up if our secondary can perform as well as they did against WKU. If Stockstill is their leading rusher with the rather mediocre stats below one has to wonder whatās the issue with their running back corp.
I attended the game at MTSU in 2015 and MTSU executed an onside kick in the first half when they were already up two touchdowns. I still dislike their coach for running up the score in our first conference game. I hope we knock them off in their ugly stadium in front of all their Vols fans.
Their starting RB, Thomas, has been suffering from injuries all year and is getting only limited playing time. Their backup was a WR moved to RB because of Thomasās situation, and was taken off the field Saturday with either a broken leg or torn achilles.
Not sure weāve had a week where the injury reports will be this significant before, for both teams.
I was also at the MTSU massacre. Ive never seen a team run up the score like that. I think they ran a flea flicker when they were up by 40+. There has to be some back story that we arent aware of. Even coaches who are complete jerks donāt do what MT did that game.
They ran an onside kick as well. We ran it back for a TD but that just shows you how hard they were trying to run it up. Older Stockstill is a punk. If we get one more this year (aside from UT) I want it to be this one.
No I do not but seeing someone onside kick, run flea flickers, leaving starters in until well into the second half of a 73-14 game against a third year program is punk like behavior. He may be a fine individual otherwise.
If Charlotte can play like they did against WKU theyll have a great shot here. Not sure how many players are still left from that 73-14 game, but Iād love to get a win over there and remove some of those demons.
