Southern vs Memphis Game Updates: 11:00am CT


My point exactly. Short kicks give Memphis good field position. Kicking it out of the endzone automatically puts the ball on the 25.
Out punt returners are calling for a fair catch when they 10yards free ahead to run. That's my point!
 



I suspect those pooch kicks are on purpose to stop a long return.....

It would be nice if we had a kicker that can put in the endzone. Letting them start on the 35 and 40 is too short of a field for the defense.
 
Offensively, it seems like the coaching staff is playing it safe. Pulling some key starters before they get seriously hurt.
 



Even the commentator noticed the wide gaps in our punt formation. Not well coached.

Southern U. 24
Memphis 54

I originally picked SU in this game but changed it at the last moment earlier in the week due to considering those self-inflicted errs vs mcn which cost SU victory - 5 TOs? Playing vs fbs means one has to be almost perfect in order to keep it competitive.

SU has a great team but... the mistakes seem to cost games and some of those mistakes are unforced. Great effort, considering. It’s easy to see why SU is one of the creams of the SWAC crop in football.
 
IMO, the coaching staff pulled the offensive starters too soon and they definitely need to work on punting and kicking. Special teams basically gave Memphis the game with those blocked and short kicks. IMO, our first team offense can play with anybody. The defense needs to cover the pass a little better.
