Thanks for that dumb call on 4th Ball State!

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Defensive line getting zero pressure.

 

[zeppelin128]

Better to bend and not break. 2/3 on third downs though, gotta clean that up.

 

[temptn]

Pitt quarterback sacked 3 and 13

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Good lord the negavols have already showed up cuz we give up 2 3rd downs

literally in the first ten minutes of play, they just need some time to get their heads on straight

 

[Wezcoast]

Probably just nerves . They'll settle down.

 

[615vols]

Burrell is really bad

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Our DL is going to lose us a lot of games if something doesn’t change fast.

 

[TeddyYeti]

What happend? did Ball state score a TD?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Did they really just go for it in 4th and 10? In the 1st qtr? Lol wut

My good friend, they know they don’t stand a chance

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Seems like it’s mental with Burrell

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Dude, your fly is open.

Someone said “LETS GO D” and I misunderstood

 

[RAVOL]

Bent just a little but slammed the door. Hadden is definitely our best CB. In CHRIST Alone

 

[vols 30]

OK WTF is this?
Why are we playing 10 yrds off ppl....
Defense is suspect and we should be man handling this team...

Because our DBs struggle

 

[Vol865]

Put Hadden in Burrells place please

Put anybody there and I'd have more faith

 

[dduncan4163]

Alright not bad. Bowed up when we had too

 

[Freak]

What happend? did Ball state score a TD?

Turnover on downs.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

What happend? did Ball state score a TD?

No, they went for it on 4/10 and failed. Our ball

 

[sona]

D isn't firing on all cylinders yet. I suspect they are enjoying a nice talking-to right now. They will pick it up.

 

[dduncan4163]

Need a pass rush

 

[sunnyvol79]

So it looks like we gonna be in some high scoring shootouts again this year.

 

[KeyVol14]

What happend? did Ball state score a TD?

No we gave up 2 first downs and our defense is apparently worse this year according to some experts on here

 

[JO VOL]

First game over reaction…. Still not sold on Tim Banks. Looks like a 9 year old calling the D on NCAA 14.

 

[MeanOrange]

Still missing those bull rush guys.

 

[BJSforVols]

Better to bend and not break. 2/3 on third downs though, gotta clean that up.

It helps that Ball State decided to start missing open receivers.
