Spartans get 1st 1st quarter TD in 5 weeks largely on the strength of Hayward. so i guess that means he probably gets benched for being too effective.
 
Love that end around on 2nd down to the short side of the field. Such a great call, we never use it and it works every time.
 
see what i mean - hayward has one or is it two touches since the opening drive?
 
ues, LJ is hurt which is good bc he stinks. runs soft and cant block but he is dantonios kenny goins

Agree 100% that he?s looked decent and should be getting all the carries today. But as bad as Lewerke is again it doesn?t really matter.
 
lewerke definitely has a couple bad throws but he is 7 for 12 and is running the ball well. this game is coming down to play calling and benching their best tailback. he rushedd for more than 6 yards on the opening drive and theyve gone away from him since then. warner and bollman are a couple of idiots

Is Lewerke your nephew or something?
 
Thank god it’s not the nfl rule. Wouldn’t that have been a touchback and Maryland ball in the nfl?
 
Well he?s our third stringer so I?ll give that a pass. The fact that we have not made ONE single play in the passing game is beyond ridiculous

I give it a pass too, not ripping the kid or the special teams units. It just is what it is.
 
Defense played its best game of the season. Dominant front 7 and the DBs gave up almost nothing.

Heyward breaks out for 157 yards and 2 TDs.

Jarvis back on the O Line helped, O ran for 270 yards.

Lewerke needs to be shut down, he's got serious accuracy problems and they appear injury related. Doesn't even resemble the QB we saw last season.

Ha! that's pretty good. There's nothing special about him, I just think he's the better option at QB if he's healthy. He's more mobile and has a better head for it. Rocky may get there but right now, I think his mechanics are rough and he's not ready for the big stage - he tries to throw everything as hard as he can. Plus, he's not much if any more accurate than an injured Lewerke had been - he overthrew a lot of balls.

If Lewerke is hurt, I think he's a solid backup option but in my mind, Lewerke is way down the list of problems with this team. The play calling and the musical chairs at TB are way bigger issues for me. Just give Hayward the job and let Jefferson spell him here and there and forget about LJ Scott, the guy can't pass protect to save his life and he runs soft until he gets hurt then he doesn't run at all.

I believe it has to go out of bounds through the end zoned for a touchback turnover. if it's recovered in the end zone by the offense, it's a TD. If it is fumbled into the endzone then out of bounds or if it's recovered by the defense, then it's a touchback and turnover.

I believe that's the same rule in college - I remember losing a 5 team parlay in vegas where the last game was the over in Cal/Oregon and Cal was about to score to send it to OT where we were guaranteed the over but the idiot Cal receiver fumbled on the 1, it went into the end zone and out of bounds, Oregon ball at that 20 w/ about :35 seconds left and I lost the bet.

Although he fumbled heyward has been solid today and is a tank

he's been our best back all season long. It drives me nuts when he gets 5+ yds per carry on a drive then we don't see him for 3 possessions.
