Several takeaways..

What slam? He's claiming the game with Troy will be close, I suggested he's depressing to read. I also indicated his opinion isn't necessarily truth. If that's a slam we're getting awful touchy around here.
 
To watch most of the first half when we were the aggressor, with a 14-0 lead in our hands, only to see us revert to playing on our heels in a game that we had nothing to lose is nauseating.

Looked to me like the 2nd half playcalling was pretty similar to the first. But in the first quarter our O line was creating gaps, and in the fourth quarter they couldn't get us 3rd and half a yard.
 
In the first half we were changing formations. Reggie was under center with 2 backs, shotgun with 1, shotgun with none, etc. I'd have to rewatch the tape (which I don't really want to do) but I think we went all shotgun in the second half. I also don't remember the little flare to the WR in the second half or any running plays except the QB draw and the delay to the one back to the opposite side he was lined up on. If I'm misremembering someone set me straight.

We should be ahead enough at half where Reggie will rest the 2nd.

Even if we were to be ahead by enough to warrant TB playing, I doubt that we would actually get to see anything other than him handing off a few times.

Unfortunately, you are probably exactly right.

Simpleton sounding question here, but completely serious:
Do you (everyone) think that if we could score 70, or 60 or 50 against anyone, we would do it?
I would think that both Gailey and Nix feel that we need to be comfortable scoring a lot of points.
There is a golf axiom that comes to mind: Good players have to feel comfortable with the idea of breaking 80 before they can do it consistently, and great players need to feel just as comfortable in their mind before they can break 70 consistently.
I hate to bring up someone that so many seem to loathe around here, but Ralphie Boy's teams expected to get into the end zone when they had the ball. That may not be half the battle, but it's certainly a big part of it.

I don't mean to disrespect Samford, but they should be overmatched on Saturday. I hope we play at least two quarterbacks, but I also hope that whatever 11 is on the field feels the need to score on every posession.

Then again, maybe we just can't score points.
 
I predict we will have problems ...

Scoring on offense vs Samford & every other team
we play this year. Hopefully we will win easily this
Sat. but it won't be because we dominate on the
offensive side.
