TL has struggled against each of the P5 schools played. He looked lost last year at Clemson each time he was flushed out of the pocket and the result was an interception that could otherwise been at the minimum a FG attempt. Would like to see the ball thrown away in those cases. I agree the receivers have dropped some balls, but they are who we have and TL needs to keep making the throws and give them the opportunity. I think it is reasonable for us all to expect improvement year after year from our QB and team leader. Hopefully, we will see that this week against Akron. He will be needed.

We used to be able to move fast and take it down the field in older times with what were deemed to be lesser athletes
Our "no-huddle" is not about going fast - it is about having the defense show their alignment so the coaches upstairs might be able to spot "something" - We have had no need to rush plays in or be in a hurry in our first 3 games ---

Agreed, but I sure wish we would utilize it from time to time.

Agree with both. We just seem to get on the line, do all that "see what the defense" is going to do, then do simple run plays. If we could speed up the tempo it might allow for some passing success.

Well, other than the last drive in Knoxville.

The coaches are doing a lot more to help out lamb this week (quick outs to open up down field, then down field opens up run). Best offensive game we've played so far.

If you expect to do better than 22/30 for 280 yards with 3 TDs and a rushing TD then you'll never be satisfied with our QB play.

I mean I like Caruso but he didn't even convincingly win the back up job this fall. Taylor is just fine and will be behind center until he graduates.

I think the main distress is there is almost no quick strike potential. Meadors is neutralized by our inability to use him. But hey as long as our grind it out works and Lamb takes care of the ball it's all good. His numbers are certainly eye catching if the performance is not flashy.

I was very critical of Lamb last week post Miami, but he did a very nice job today. Wonderful bounce back game for him. I still think QB is an area of focus for us going into next season, but glad to see Taylor have a nice performance.

We had a 93-yard drive in 80 seconds today right before half.

That's another very important point that people seem to be missing. Caruso is a great teammate and a hard worker, but before Daniel David transferred, it was likely that Caruso never started a game for App State. Now there's a solid chance he starts as a fifth year senior, but he didn't exactly put the other guys away this fall in the competition for QB2.

And that was nice. My point is passes longer than 10 or 15 yards are very rare. Lots of long passes on paper because of yards after catch though. Not criticizing Lamb, I like him and I think he does a great job. He is a smart guy and runs our very well.

Why take shots down the field when your running game is gashing the opposition like they were today. That's when Lamb is best, when his task is just managing the game. Today we used the run to set up the pass and Lamb made some very nice plays. Today was Satterfield offense at its best imo

Solid today and no interceptions. Of course we weren't playing Tennessee or Miami. I knew he'd be fine against G5 just like last season. Moore looks to be back on track. He is a horse and just needs reps to get warmed up. And how about Rubino? 6-6 PAT and 1 FG. Only area of concern is the defensive backfield, however they came up with two huge int's that effectively won the game.
