So many new names and numbers I feel like im a terrible Texas Fan at this point. Giving Epps credit for Eagles TD etc 

Bless your heart lol

[HORNfromETX 1,017]

J. Jones misses a sack

[MikeV73 3,234]

They are calling good plays to avoid our rushers.  Can’t seem to get to the QB much.

[RDHookEm 252]

These guys threw over 300 yards against us.

[HORNfromETX 1,017]

What a BS call!!

[RDHookEm 252]

Ossai another good one

[MikeV73 3,234]

Pass defense needs some work.

Yea, not sure if Texas was trying to get cute. Short quick passes was the truth. Tough to get a sack with that quick of a release

Boyce can’t play vs LSU, I would attack there all day everyday. He just doesn’t play the ball in the air well

Makes me nervous for next Saturday night. I’m staying positive and thinkin they’ll learn from this first game 

[RDHookEm 252]

That was estell

[MikeV73 3,234]

The failed screen play is always painful to watch.  I’m always a fan of throwing beyond the sticks.

[RDHookEm 252]

Would have liked to see what Thompson can do with a real pass play

Greatest team improvement is said to occur between 1st and 2nd game. You have good reason to be optimistic. 

[MikeV73 3,234]

La Tech lofting short balls over our rush quite easily for good yardage.

[HORNfromETX 1,017]

Overshown with the pick

[java 2,891]

Thompson to Johnson. 

+6

[joeywa 5,367]

Always nice to start the season with a W.

Kobe Boyce is learning on the job.  Has had a few blunders so far but it is stuff he can learn from. 

I don’t believe he can, he needed to have learned by now. He plays even 1 play, I attack Boyce often. LSU has much much better WR that will tear Boyce apart 

[HORNfromETX 1,017]

Finally won an opener and a game handily without getting complacent.

[MikeV73 3,234]

1-0

[Baron 1,511]

It has been a long time that any of us could relax and watch an OOC game without stressing. Louisiana Tech's offense looked game early, but Orlando's defense tightened up as the Tech offense got closer to the goal line.

I just got home from the game so is this the "roughing the passer" call that appeared live to be a defender laying on the ground and using his arms to try and tackle the QB during a pick 6? I can't wait to see the replay because live it appear to be a horrible call! The side judge on the La Tech side was horrible! His grade for this game will be low.

My interpretation was that Sterns and Jones were both going for the QB. Sterns stumbled, Jones tripped over him and ended up sliding headfirst into the QB's ankle/shin.

I looked up the rule, and I don't think it was applied correctly: "...no defensive player rushing unabated shall hit [the QB] forcibly at the knee area or below. The defensive player also may not initiate a roll or lunge and forcibly hit this opponent in the knee area or below.... It is not a foul if the defender is not rushing unabated or is blocked or fouled into this opponent.” (emphasis mine).

Jones stumbled over Sterns (so I don’t think he was “rushing unabated”), so my interpretation is that the flag should’ve been picked up.
