Was Radcliffe injured? Doesn't look like he played at all.

I think he has enough power for it, even without the height/size of Ross. Makes more sense than McGuffie at least...

Last year's Tulane game was uglier.

Yeah, that was weird. Wonder if it was intentional when he was punting into the wind?

The great thing about being married is that they are unlikely to divorce you over something like that. Or at least that is what I keep telling Mrs.Big (I hope she agrees).

Agreed. Recruited initially as a play-making WR, nice to get the ball in his hands some.

Funny.

I don't know if it is skill or design, but it seems to be a constant
Our safeties have improved athleticism and speed, but they still don't have great coverage skills. I mean, Hill and White are miles more athletic than our safeties from a couple years ago. Hopefully they continue to grow in their coverage abilities since both were primarily offense guys in HS that Rice moved to defense.

That might be a bit harsh, but definitely not his best game. Reagan asking him to throw >50% of his passes as deep balls doesn't help.

Corner/fade patters seem to be McHargue's worst throw. I was shocked to see the one to Taylor actually work after so many misses over the years.
