I hope cam can keep us doing that because we just don't run the ball well.

Where do people keep getting this? We are averaging 5.5 ypc and right at 200 ypg rushing the football. We are in 6th place in a 13 team league, and 4 of the 5 teams ahead of us predominantly run the ball.

I would LOVE to hear what people's version of 'running the ball well' looks like.

We are middle of the road in rushing statistics. However, just wait until we see more stacked boxes with Humphrey under center. You'll understand then.

They will not successfully stack the box against Humphrey; he will pick them apart. The EWU D is not SacSt. You'll understand then.

I suppose we shall see.

Agree with AZ here. Why we lined up with out Knight in the backfield against' Sac St. to start the game still puzzles me. We should have ran the ball at least 20 times in that 1st half. Whatever happened to the old Bobby Ball with a full back? Probably could have been beneficial last weekend. We need to run the ball and make that O-Line work. Wear out the Defense.

You certainly have all the answers. What kind of box was Sac giving us? How wide were their backers aligned? Did we have a nose or was he shaded? Was it a 1 high or 2 high defensive look predominantly? Was their front soft enough for us to pound it at them all game long? Or has our passing game not been competent up to this point in the season?

Why does anyone think Cam will be good? Yeah he's looked good in camp but as far as actual game time... Not so much. There's a huge drop off from Sneed to Cam. If you think otherwise gimme those maroon glasses and the crack you been smoking.

Couple things.....

Of course there’s a drop off from one of the best QBs in all of FCS to his back up. But, at the same time, we aren’t dealing with rushing Makena Simis out there to beat NAU. And that’s not a knock on Simis.....his performance was incredible and led to a win. I’m just saying he hadn’t played QB since high school and wasn’t adept at running the offense.

Cam is very good at running this offense. He has a very strong arm and probably throws a better deep ball than Dalton. He really can spin it. I have no doubt he will come in and perform at a high level. The other thing is EWU defense is pretty poor. They rank very low statistically and they have struggled to keep teams from putting up points. They give up 36 points per game on avg as well as 430 yards.

I think Sneed or Humphrey can put up points with our offense. If we lose it will have more to do with our pass defense and letting EWU put up too many points than it will with Cam or the O.

It's really all up to the o line. If they give Cam time, I think he will do good. If they provide pressure, I feel like he will struggle significantly. If he has time to read his options and not for the ball he'll do fine. I've been over reacting after the Sac St game. But I was just so pumped about this years team and I just wasnt expecting that type of loss. I started having a Bobcat-November type melt down. Sorry fellas. We will be okay. I'm sure Hauck and company will get a good game plan going and simplify the offense for Cam. We got this!

I think he meant our passing game has been competent up until Sac St. Hopefully. Otherwise... somebody should go back to elementary school.

Well if that's true we won't beat Eastern. Anybody else missing Jensen.

I did mean pre-Sac, but even as bad as that game was Sneed is still top 15 in the nation of every category. But reinell knows that already and so does AZ.

This. The coaches recruited Cam for a reason. I was travelling on Saturday so didn't get to see the game, but statistically, it looked like he did well. If Dalton can't go, then I'm believing Cam can do the job.

Tell me don't we have a linebacker we can start at QB...

I don't think you do, and that is your whole problem. :thumb:

Graves? He is the 21st leading tackler on the team. 5 solos. We also have Roberts, the receiver.

Jace Lewis QBed his high school team to a state title, so yes they have a LB that was a high school QB like the neighbors, but this program wont need to go to gimmicks, Cam is better than anything the Scats have had at QB in the Choke era....by a long way.
 
Just by Sneeds reaction on the field I’d say he knew he was hurt. Best case would be to eek out a win with Cam and get Sneed healed up. It’s time for Cam to earn his stripes and personally I think he will.
