Totally easy. :)
He still thinks it's a 2-possession game. Someone should maybe tap him on the shoulder.

And Hackenberg is performing about as well as can be expected given the constant harassment and pounding he's taking.  I can't blame him for often throwing across his body or off his back foot, chicken winging many of his passes, or flinching.  Hell - who wouldn't?  What I do criticize him for in many instances though is his apprehension about tucking the ball and running - something he did much more often last year and at the beginning of this year.  I don;t think we'll see him benched - but if so, Michael Connor will have an opportunity to show why he was the 5th rated HS QB coming out last year.
McSorley is second on the depth chart.

This TCU -WVU game is wild.

The pitchforks should be coming out in Athens tonight as Richt manages to blow another critical game. Just good enough not to get fired.
 
Holgorsen is going to have an aneurysm if TCU makes this kick.

Not just blow. They got absolutely hammered.

Why is WVU not using a TO?
Tough call. You're going to have to use all 3 there, and it would leave you with about 15 seconds or so after the kick, but it would also likely put the FG kicker closer.

Bit they weren't getting the ball back without using them. Tough call to play for a FG miss.

Last team with the ball wins this one between Auburn and Ole Miss.
Yeah, I've concluded that Auburn doesn't have the right mix to survive their schedule. Even if they survive tonight, Marshall's decision making isn't improving enough in year 2, and the secondary can't tackle well enough. Alabama is going to blow the doors off of this defense even if Ole Miss can't finish the job.

Auburn's just playing dumb. Dumb decisions to throw into coverage that Coates and Duke are saving Marshall from. Horrifyingly dumb late hits. Dumb angles to take to whiff on tackles. The defensive line is finally playing well, but that's partly thanks to Ole Miss injuries.

The game will have a thrilling finish, I'm sure, but win or lose, I'm mot seeing enough improvement to be optimistic going forward as an Auburn fan.
