Oregon vs Nevada thread

[Targus]

OUCH, that was a hard hit. Hope the kid is OK.

 

[Natebishop3]

Props to Nevada for not faking injuries. I'll definitely give them credit for that.

 

[Targus]

Not every team can be as sissy-like as Cal.

LMJ just doesn't look as fast as he used to be. I'm wondering if that's because of his weight gain, or maybe an injury. Am I crazy? Just watching DAT run the ball, it seems like LMJ has lost a step.

That's what I was saying last week. Is it James, the O-line, the playing calling, or some combination of the above?

No matter how good DAT looks in flashes, this team NEEDS LMJ to be a big threat if they plan to make any real noise this season. He looked fine on that return though!

Well, I don't know... he looked good on that TD reception and that punt return looked pretty solid. Maybe I'm just crazy.

LSU did it. Arizona St did it. I think Auburn even did it.

 

[Targus]

They did it, but not AS sissy-like.

 

[Targus]

You're not crazy. LMJ having a solid game. 67 rushing yards, 56 rec yards, 58 yards on return. Yup...slow. LOL.

 

[Natebishop3]

FX dropping the football.

We're just saying he didn't look like he had the same burst through the line. He hasn't been hitting the corners like he did. Meh... if this is a slow LMJ, sign me up.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I love you guys, but what the heck are you talking about?? Nevada is avg 3.5 yards per rush and is only 4/10 on first down conver? How does that suck? This is not a pushover NV team.

HEY! Welcome back.

 

[Targus]

James only has 12 rushes. He's playing conservative and being preserved for the season. Nearly 6 yards per carry. We're good!

He's still amazing. I'm just wondering if maybe the added muscle has slowed him down just a tad?

 

[Natebishop3]

WTF... we going back to the game?

 

[Natebishop3]

@AaronJFentress Aaron J. Fentress
LB Michael Clay taken off the field, injured.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice pick.

 

[Natebishop3]

I just want to get out of this game without any more injuries.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really like Bennett. His ability to run is something that Thomas sorely lacks.

 

[Natebishop3]

Bennett is going to be a stud... I'm loving our future of Bennett, DAT, Lyerla, etc.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Yeah, no drop off at all.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ohhhhh man...... Murphy almost had that.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Ohhhhh man...... Murphy almost had that.

Should have hauled it in.

 

[Natebishop3]

Should have hauled it in.

Yeah he probably should have. Jerry Rice always said that if the ball touches your fingers, you should be able to haul it in.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Nevada must have 250+ yards running.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nevada must have 250+ yards running.

Yup. Kind of annoying.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice! We've had some very timely turnovers to keep the score so unbalanced.

 

[Targus]

Hopefully reverse that. Not a fumble.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I mean, I get the fact it's no longer our starters, but due to the heat a lot of NV starters are out as well.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Hopefully reverse that. Not a fumble.

Agreed.

 

[Natebishop3]

Pretty obvious call. Too bad it's not a fumble, but a good call.
