Random Notes and Observations from the Game

Great photos of the game at JSUgamecocksport.com

The Southerners remain undefeated at half-time. Their patriotic performance was fantastic and earned a standing ovation from the Tech crowd.

James Wilkerson had a great game. Great catches, solid returns. A very physical receiver.

Andrew Ridgeway is a guy that doesn't get a lot of pub but he gets the job done- led the team in tackles

Allen Bonner is for real. The freshman had two catches and one td in his first game.

Depth at TE appears to be a real issue. Dont recall seeing anyone except Cory Freeman.

James Shaw appears to be a guy JSU thinks can make plays, althhough he didn't bust anything against Tech.

Tatum had a couple snafus on punts, but he has a powerful leg which dramatically helped from last year on kickoffs. Reportedly, we will work more on punting under pressure. Tatum will do a good job in the long run.

Offensive Line played well as a unit. Ivory had pressure on him some, but the line did well protecting.

Marques Ivory played well. In his first start at the university, and in a hostile enviroment, Ivory showed that he belongs. Good completion pecentage. Great to get him some experience.

Found a way to use Brooks Robinson (great play for a touchdown). Brooks is an athlete that can help the team in many ways.

Impressive showing by Calvin Middleton. He averaged 5.4 yards per carry.

No huddle offense looked good and scored a TD on last possession. Great leadership from Reggie Wade and Ivory.

Jahron Brown is a physically intimidating fullback. A power set with him Ivory, Freeney and Middleton all in the backfield would be fun to watch.

It was great to see the players join together for prayer after the game. The ACLU hates it, but they can't stop the players from exercising their right of free speech to give glory to God.
