re: tOfficial 2022 opening game thread - Final Mercer (16) vs Auburn (42)

Every time there’s a lightning delay I am mentally transported back to the student section of the WVU game that had the torrential downpour and delay before it began. Easily the most fun I’ve ever had at a game.

I was there but wasn’t a student yet. It reminds me of the 2014 Auburn Arky game. Beginning of the game was like otherworldly heat and I got badly sunburned. By the end of the game I was freezing cold because I was soaking wet and there was a stiff breeze.

I was in the student section too. Some of the most fun I've ever had at a game.

Since we’re in weather delay, how we feeling? Running between the tackles looks a lot better. At least on the left side. Secondary has me worried. And I’m also worried the Dline hasn’t gotten much pressure on the QB. I’m pleasantly surprised by the linebackers. They’ve played quite well, and everyone thought they’d be the weakest part of the defense.

Me too … was. Insane

Positives for me, Harsin seems like a competent football coach. We look well conditioned and prepped for the game. No stupid shite like Gus would do in these games

The negatives - we just are in a talent deficiency. Harsin has to recruit. We will beat the teams we should and get blown out by the usuals.

Far and away the most fun I've ever had at a game. frick WVU fans forever, but God bless whoever snuck a handle of jack into the upper deck.

I meant overall. Finley isn't my QB. I'd rather play the true freshman from Savannah than Finley. Ashford has potential

It seems like Finley reads things fairly well presnap and has a solid idea where to go quickly after the snap. I think he just sucks at reading the field when his first or second read aren’t there. Or maybe he just sucks are looking for a backside safety.

Regardless Ashford has shown me enough that he deserves a shot. Still not sold on his arm consistently but that deep ball showed he’s at least capable of hitting it.
