McBride already over 100 yards

ANOTHER offside for a first down!

WKU helping us out. We gonna need it with Zeno at QB.

Aaand he throws a TD.

TD! Good throw by Zeno and great catch by Farrier, he Mossed the dude.

Great catch by Farrier

Where'd that come from? Lol.

Nice play call and good throw by Zeno.

ZENO TD to FarrierII!!! and a unsportsmanlike on WKU to boot

17-7 GREEN!

Onside kick try with the 15 yard penalty being called?

I'm not sure if Zeno is a good QB. I haven't seen many good completions. But man, the ball that comes out of his hand is pretty

I'll take a few more of those Zeno to Farrier hookups

Would have definitely done an onside kick attempt.

I agreed with most of your post until this line. I agree with most backs, but not McBride. What makes him so special is the way he continually fights for the extra yardage. A huge amount of our first down conversions have come from 3rd down runs that were going to be punts but he extended by fighting.

I think the fumbles are a risk you take with somebody like that. Trying to coach that scenario is going to create hesitancy and he’s the type of player whose mindset is on fighting for every single run to become a highlight. He’s gotta go with pure instinct.

But it is why a lot of backs like him don’t make it in the NFL.

Oh I agree actually. You are right. Debo has a few hundred extra yards in his career because of what you say. But if that’s gonna be your game, you can’t get sloppy with how you are carrying the ball.

I don't get intentionally kicking the ball through the endzone there, but what do I know.

I really like Farrier, he is a talent

Our D id playing well I would have kicked deep too. Don’t give them a short field.

normally, an on-side is enticing, but we have lost the field position game thus far, so good to keep them back a bit...

Zeno with a 10 yard run...

I’m not sure how I feel about designed QB runs when our starter is out because of an injury from a run.

I wish I had Zeno's Elusifinzilibly lol... These announcers.

so far Sidney Wells has been a windmill in pass pro.
