**Official Lamar @ Texas State - WAC 'EM Game**

The couple of posters who said Bevil and Johnson are the same type of QB please step forward. LOL

IMO (and I suppose I will be called a homer for stating this, but that's okay), the only thing Bevil has on JJ is experience. All the other skill sets Jeremy is superior.

 

Only thing holding Jeremy back is experience.

[Guest CardAmbassador]

Do you think we made a good impression on Benson, the way we came back and the LU fan support that was out there.

 

I was pleased with the LU crowd. We had a pretty good amount of fans at that game. 700-1000.

 

The second half had alot of energy. The first half did not, I'll let those comments speak for themselves. I will say 1 thing Bevil again didnt do anything wrong. Bit Johnson did things right. Johnsons pass to Marcus Jackson was on a rope, it had serious velocity akin to what you would see out of a top caliber FBS QB's.

[Guest bigred360]

There are some still calling for Prewitt. :whistle:

[Guest bigred360]

Injury bug hit again this time James Washington LB. Injury is a dislocated ankle.

[coachacola]

The defense is costing this team wins, not the offense. So why not let Jeremy Johnson play more and more as the season progresses? He is the quarterback of the future and like I said earlier, Lamar will start the season against some FBS teams so IMHO the more experience Johnson has the better.

Being at the game my main criticism of Bevil is partially what it was last year but he has corrected one part. He doesn't turn over the ball like he used to, but he forces the ball down field. Those are low percentage passes. The high percentage passes, the WR's that are open right over the middle he doesn't hit.

 

Bevil is definitely a much better quarterback than he was last year but unless he can replicate his SE Louisiana game he will not lead us to victories. In the SE Louisiana game he threw the ball more like Johnson did tonight, put the ball over the middle on a rope and let our WR's catch the ball in stride.

 

Don't really understand why people would be calling for Doug after tonights game, It seems like people would want to see Johnson. I would not be opposed to seeing him on the field if Bevil continues to "not" perform. That's what I would say about Bevil this year. He isn't really costing us games but he isn't performing at a level that can win the games. (again SE Louisiana would be an exception.)

 

I hope the best for whoever is under center.

 

Depressing first half but honestly it got better and we really took their fans out of the game for most of the third and fourth quarter.

 

Keep you head up Cardinals, you didn't give up when you could have.

You don't start him because he is the QB of the future. Don't risk an injury this year. Bevil has done nothing wrong. The line collapsed on him tonight. Just IMO.

That was really unfortunate. Washington is a really good LB. He would be a big loss.

I'm sitting at a restaurant in San Marcos and I overheard some of their fans saying that if JJ would have played the whole game they probably would have lost B)

His mom said he is probably out for the season

I talked with him briefly, on the sidelines, when he was returning to the field (on crutches). He said 6 week, so that verifies he is out for the rest of the season. Nice young man.

 

Aside: I was also 5 yards away from the play when he was injured. It was ugly and you knew he was in some serious pain.

[CatMom]

Just wanted to comment on the score. Specifically, the last TD.

I'm not one for running up the score. But I'm not so sure it really was. If you feel this was, wait until you play an FBS team.

TXST 10

 

Wyoming 45

or how about last year?

Houston 68

TXST 28

 

In defense of Fran (Can't believe I'm saying this,) the sack could not be helped. The DB wasn't going to stop short thinking "I better not sack the QB in the endzone because I'd be part of running up the score."

The last several series we did have our 2nd & 3rd teams in. They chewed up clock. The kid that scored the last TD is a true freshman whose redshirt was removed due to injury. That was his first collegiate TD. A RBs instinct is to keep going; even if they are trying to just grind out the clock. I would imagine his adrenaline was pumping hard through the veins. I also don't think he was in a let's run up the score mindset...at that moment.

 

Also, if you think this was bad....check some of the other SLC scores from yesterday:

NWS 51

SELA 17

 

SAM 47

NSU 7

 

So, FWIW, that's my personal opinion.

 

You have the makings of a very good team...it just takes time, believe me, we know....and, anyone know this guy?

Hmmmm...... first and goal from the 7 with seven seconds left in game, up 40-21, you kneel it to end game. Shows class. There was no time left to grind out.:dry:

 

The last TD was totally unnecessary.

[CatMom]

The drive was 64 yds and they ground 4:21 off the clock. 10 plays, all running plays, save 1 incomplete. The last play was 14 yds., which I doubt was intended to be a TD...it just turned out that way. The intent was to get our backups some PT. If the intent was to really run up the score our 1st team would have stayed in the whole game (see the SFA score below). Could have taken a knee, sure, but then again, we still have a bad taste from a knee a former coach ordered; which cost us a trip to the NC.

Your fans may have been upset with it but you best get used to it. Our fans would have rioted if he had called it.

Again, you can't hold back kids who haven't seen PT to go out on the field and fall down (ok, you can but that's a waste and just hurts their future) Had I felt we were out to just score the hell out of your worn down D I'd be on your side. We've been on that side and it isn't fun but it's reality. (See our 2 FBS games this year where they put in their 2nd and 3rd teams and couldn't help scoring because of the disparity and our worn out D and kept scoring even on their last possession(s) ahead by 30+ (Tech))

Am I trying to justify, maybe, but I'm also looking at it from the other side and I may just see things differently after what TXST has gone through in recent years. Does Fran run up the score? I don't know. 7 games doesn't tell me much but he did pull the starters out against NSU also.

[AggiesAreWe]

Scoring with no time left on the clock, up 40-21, from the 14, with just 7 seconds left, is not the same to what you are making the comparisons to.

 

The last TD was totally unnecessary.

 

Check out the boxscore of that Lamar game you mentioned. You will not see a last second TD.

 

 

Apples and oranges we are talking about.

14 yards out. STOP THE PLAY. That is the real problem here. No second stringer is going to slide on the 2 when he has a shot. I love the Cards but Come On man get real.

Yes, stop the play. Thats the correct answer but the play shouldnt have been run.

 

It was a busch league TD by a jerk coach. Texas St had obtained their last 1st down and LU wasn't attempting to stop the clock. The Bobcats had a 19 point lead and the game was over. To get up to the line quickly in an attempt to run another play when the play clock was off was stupid. It could've got kids from either team hurt when the game was not in doubt, only the spread.

[Guest boomer]

No doubt Coach Fran is not know for his class, you got that right!

[LU1991]

Coach Fran called a time out with 5 seconds left before the halftime and a 35-7 lead and then scores with no time on the clock to end the game. It didn't show me any class no matter how you cut it.

 

Believe it or not, I came away from the game feeling very positive about the future of the Lamar program. Jeremy Johnson brings so much more to the game. All but maybe one pass was on target and his ability to run makes him a weapon hard to defend. The entire team, including the defense, stepped it up a notch in the second half after Jeremy came in.

 

With McNeese's lost last night to Central Arkansas we are still in the hunt this season. We still have something to play for and need to go with the future.

[Guest boomer]

Does anyone know where I can watch the game. Surely there is a place online to see it huh?

I agree, I came away feeling very positive after the game. JJ's first throw that moved us about 50 yards up the field wasn't like Bevil's bombs. That throw was a beautiful spiral on a rope that hit the target in his hands on the run about 35 yards down field. That was the best throw of the game by any QB, we have seen this season.

 

I think all of his throws were on target. The one that McVey missed was because McVey let up thinking he was about to get his as he caught the ball.

 

Then JJ had several illusive runs. Including his 60 yarder. He reminds me of a smaller Vince Young. Sometimes he didn't even look like he was running fast but he would change direction at the last moment and make a defender miss. He has serious skills.

That is me, nice meeting you, hope you enjoyed the trip to the endzone complex, I know we did.

This is the point I am trying to make. Thanks Mike.

 

Calling the run play was not necessary, particularly rushing to the line to get the play off when the play clock was off. Bobcats didn't even need to snap the ball!!!

 

That is the difference when I am speaking of showing no class.
