HS played well, especially for his first start. With DJW we may score more points, but SEMO still lights up our D. Their Oline dominated us and that would not change. And we still couldn't run the ball, except for maybe a few DJW self-made runs. I doubt having Lester or Benefield would have made any difference at all in the run game. We averaged 2.1ypc. Awful.
It's a rebuilding year - don't expect much.
The good news is we beat SEMO in volleyball!
The injuries continue to pile up for this team on both sides of the ball, and I don’t think the QB play is going to be good enough to put the team on his shoulders, even with a pretty good WR group. The preseason buzz of Southern’s experienced offensive line being a real strength has not materialized, and now that group is getting banged up.
Don’t like to say it, but I’d be pleasantly surprised if this doesn’t turn into a sub-.500 season.
Never seen so many injuries to key/best players. Bohanek, Williams, Lester, Benefield, Iverson Brown, several on both O & D lines, etc. We were going to have to outscore a lot of good teams before the injuries and that just won't happen now without DJ. Simmons is decent, but not in the same league as Williams.The injuries continue to pile up for this team on both sides of the ball, and I don’t think the QB play is going to be good enough to put the team on his shoulders, even with a pretty good WR group.
