hopefully so.. on the last drive, there were at least two passes over the head of a receiver who, if they had a catchable ball, would have moved the sticks.

I don't get it either..

Sputtering offense finally catches up to us. I do not know if playing another game will help. If the offense continues to flounder it will be just another loss. We will see.

I am hoping Cade Larkins will be a different story.

Why would Larkins be any different than the last eight QBs? With Sanders antique offense and his terrible play calling, Tom Brady couldn't produce a win against a good SoCon team.

Tyler Riddell is clearly better than Landis and Sanders benched him.

Landis clearly has a strong arm but his accuracy was pretty bad last night. If we do another game, I’m letting Weldon start and seeing what he can do.

And would it not be ironic if Weldon lights it up for 38 points?

ETSUBUCS.COM:


The Bucs owned every facet of the game except for the one that mattered most, the final score. ETSU outgained Mercer (382-219) as the offense showed up late in the second half and the Bucs’ defense continued to flex its muscles.

ETSU failed to overcome the turnovers in Saturday’s loss as the Bucs coughed the ball up three times, directly resulting in 14 points for the Bears.

This means a lot of the points were scored on the offense. You would think our offense would be getting better each week just by more practice time and more playing time. Does not look like it.

Simply a qb away from being head n shoulders above everyone else in the league. Have to start recruiting better at the main position. Larkins might be the answer (hope), but we should never throw 38-40 times/game like we did last night.

Season is over. No additional game. We really need to work on getting better at QB. Hopefully something can happen to get us in a better position there by fall.

Agreed.

Has the presser been posted yet?

Top 3 teams in the standings are VMI/Mercer/ETSU. The SoCon 2014 additions crew. I know you guys and VMI were old school SoCon members anyways, but it’s nice to see these programs on the rise.

Is there any chance that Cade Larkins will be healthy and ready to go in the Fall? If not we will have to re-load either Tyler or Brock or maybe bring in an transfer? Could it also be our offensive scheme and not totally bad quarterbacking? Either way we cannot go forward with one of the worst offenses in the nation. The defense deserves a lot better. Go Bucs!

Probably will not matter, but Samford up over Mercer 31-7 in the 2qtr. and VMI up 21-7 in 2qtr.

Yes we are likely out of it but if those two teams win it would probably give us the best chance to get in. But August is not that far away. Go Bucs!

The field is set. The MVFC did very well as that is an FCS powerhouse conference. I think if it were 24 teams Bucs would have gotten in. We have to wish VMI luck in the tournament.

Sour grapes, I know.
Missouri Valley gets 5 teams in, one team is 3-3 in league, Missouri State AD head of selection committee. ETSU first team out. I know Carter was on the selection committee, but the SoCon commissioner maybe needs to be a little more assertive.

Definitely got screwed by not getting to play the Wofford and Chattanooga games. Had we played just one of those games and won we probably would have been in.
