Are teams keying on Barnes now or is he not 100%, production and targets really dropped yesterday.

Dozier got good separation yesterday and made great in route adjustments.

[BambooRdApp]

I would think, if not 100%, he would not have fielded punt returns and tried to advance them up the field.

Teams have been trying to take away the middle because until yesterday, we had not shown the ability to take the outside effectively. Having a receiver like Dozier helps with that. Stroman is not nearly the same type of threat as he is. It’s also twice as hard to attack the middle when they are taking it away and bigger than we are like Boise St and Oregon St. I’m expecting a better game from Barnes in Atlanta. It is also close to his hometown.

You wanna know why we lost this game? This game wasn’t lost today, and it wasn’t lost by athletes in uniforms. It’s much deeper than that.
Tiny App St… doesn’t accept losing. They are winners.
We were winners from 1998-2014. When Andersen was brought in so was an era of apathy, penny pinching and mediocrity.
The apathy of keeping Tibisar 3 years longer than needed. The apathy of no one being held accountable for the gross incompetence of this coaching staff!
App St wouldn’t do that, they fired their coach for a losing season last year. One 5-6 season in Boone, and you get shown the door."

I know it hurts to hear it out loud our firing who we fired, but it is nice for someone else to say that we are winners.

Is Mbake back? I saw something floating around that NCAA cleared him?
(I didn’t even know he was waiting on that if that’s the case)

He is cleared is the last I heard.

Mbake is back and played a few snaps wearing #3. Similar to Dozier, he’ll likely have a ramp up period. Dozier’s ramp up actually started against USM, but he did not see any game action. I would expect a similar trajectory for Mbake where around game 3 (CCU) he could make a bigger impact and potentially overtake Stroman if he keeps dropping passes.

TLDR, sorry if someone already posted this but what TF are we doing handing out rally towels and doing “Sandstorm”? Towels are a fine giveaway, but come on…are we really ripping off USC’s best known tradition? Small minds came up with that one.

Tiny. I dare say I am adequate.
