A few weeks ago I got here and told everyone that Will should be the starter. He could control the game and open up the running game for us by forcing the defense to respect the deep ball. Now there were guys on here like TigerEdward who wanted to call me an idiot for being a player on here telling you how the team felt. Well the fact is last night showed everyone that what I said was right. It was totally different out ther there last night knowing Will had the reins. The coaches gave him freedom to check off when he saw the defense was playing cover 1 on us. Guess who audibles off to that first td pass? Here's a hint, it wasn't Helton or any other coach on the team. They trust Will more than any other qb and we are fixing to surprise some people if everyone stays healthy. Steele played out of his mind last night becasue A.) he's better than what people give him credit for and B.) the defense had to respect Will's throwing ability. The Oline ploayed great and the defense stepped up when we needed them to. Thanks for all of the support and it's time to make some room on the bangwagon. SoMiss here we come baby. Consider this a call out to everyone who called me stupid for telling you the real feelings of the team. I can just here the "let's just see how he does next week, hot shot." Well come on down to Hattiesburg with us and see.
Good job, but dont you think having Steele in there helped just a little?

I don't recall anyone saying that Will shouldn't start or play. I believe they called you stupid because a player getting on a message board and "sharing" what should remain internal with the team (if you are indeed a player) is
STUPID.
THERE IS NOTHING GOOD THAT CAN COME FROM IT.

Please tell me you are not own here bragging after one game. Please tell me your not bragging about beating a 2-3 team. Please tell me your not on here bragging about will when curtis carried the team rushing for 240 yards. You gotta be kidding me. You can come on here and crow alittle if will plays well in the next two games agaist better teams. Anybody can have one good game but the difference in a good player or team is guess what Consistency. Which is what i said Will lacks. For a person who played FB doesn't seem like you know alot about it.

How hard is it to just say that what I said would work, did just that last night? And it will keep working if we stick to the same gameplan: Keep the defense honest, run the ball to control the clock and have a qb to make throwas when they are needed. Can you not just give Will any props at all, or the Oline for keepeing him rptoected last night and opening up holes for Steele. People act like Will's arm has nothing to do with how Steele played last night. When you have a qb that doesn't run, it obviously give more reps to people who need to be running, like say I don't know a freak of nature like Steele. He's a stud and as I said weeks ago, our offense needs to be set-up more like Oklahoma's than West Virginia. We need a qb who can make deep throws and in turn the running backs will pack on the yards. Will is no Bradford, but the scheme can be the same. Why do you think Oklahoma runs for over 200 yards every game? WILL IS THE BEST OPTION TO WIN THIS YEAR. Let's stop the build for next year talk because let's be honest Cannon Smith is going to start next year anyway even if he isn't the best qb during camp.
thanks for taking some of the heat.
and it's not a big head guys, we know that Will is bound to make mistakes. It's just good to have the qb back there who everyone on the team knows gives us the best shot to win. Our record should be better, but in reality with the way the rest of our division teams played last night, we still have a chance to play in the conference championship game. We have the talent, we have our defense playing better and a new qb, all we need now is fan support. Bag the fire Tommy talk until the end of the year. Get behind us right now becasue in all honesty guys, running out of the tunnel last night and looking up in the stands was embarrassing. I know we have struggled but the season isn't lost. Maybe after we go beat the hell out of SoMiss thiss weekend the haters out there will start to believe me.

Like i said, come talk to me after a win agaist the next two then i will give will all the props in the world. Consistency is what seperates teams.
We'd all like to thank the Tiger players for their efforts last night. Congratulations on the win.
BTW, just a friendly piece of advice. It's probably not a good idea for players to post internal decisions on a public message board. Other teams players can read it too.
Just sayin'.

Exactly, you (youknowit85) got called out for airing out dirty laundry as a player (if you are one). Because as alot of us know, Tommy and the staff do not find favor on players putting out such info on fan sites. So if you are a real player, then you know you shouldn't be on a messageboard sharing such feelings as they undermine the coach and your teamates. You have already took a backhanded shot at one of our players (Cannon Smith) and one of our biggest donors (Fred Smith) with your assinine comment above.
That is what you got called out for.
You are being a classless immature kid by posting on the message board.
So when you refer to me kid, get your facts straight. You are not suppose to be here, that is your own coach's rule. One you are not following. But I'm really doubting more and more that your a player. Probably a friend or family member of a player. That too would be pretty classless.

Yea, 240 yards from Steele made no difference and going against C-USA's worst defense didn't help. Hudgens is the next John Elway.
I mean seriously, it has been an ongoing conspriacy to keep him on the bench for close to 6 years?...........please.
You weren't the only one wanting him in there. He should have started against utmartin. We still had two good running backs, even though steele is the best one. Will opens up the field. However, will alone will not make the tigers win, he just gives us the best chance, imo.

Or, putting the ball where it was supposed to go didn't open things up for Steele? Calling me crazy is simply joining the crowd, most who know me would agree. My only point is that absent a superior performance from another QB this year Hudgens is the obvious starter. There are also people here who seem to dislike him personally for some reason. I didn't say who. In point of fact your name never entered my mind.
Not thinking he should be the starter is, of course, a perfectly viable opinion. I would think in the long run Bass will be a better QB. I just don't think that he is now, that's all.
Having Steele back helped him a lot. Often, though, Steele made something out of nothing on plays that had no business working. He was great.

Well if we are to believe the coach and the staff, it was the running game that won the game. Tommy bragged on it time and time again in the post game. He used the example of the fact that unlike in the UCF game when we had no running game, UCF was able to rush four and drop everyone in coverage. UTEP had to play mostly man. As the coach said, Will did his job and having a run game makes all the difference. But what does he know, that was just Coach West's opinion
And get off the high horse with the Will versus the world stuff. Will played well, but blowing off a 240+ yard rushing performance when we have not had a back go for over 100 yards this season against a D-1 opponente is pretty ridiculous. I don't care who plays QB as long as they manage the team well and get the ball to the playmakers, but if you think Will is a good enough player to carry an offensive team, then the years of mediocre football have really lowered your standards.

I do apologize for coming off so hard towards TigerBill, I know he's a good fan.
But let's not act crazy with our annointing certain player's as being more than what they are. But it must be realized that with the running game we controlled more clock and kept the defense off the field more. Without a running game, we don't win this game or even come close. I disagree with some of Tommy's points from time to time, but he is dead on about our offense at least having a chance when we can find a way to RUN the ball. We need to be able to run the ball to help our QB's. The fact is we don't have a quarterback on the roster than can carry us week to week throwing the ball. Our receivers are glad to have Steele back and seeing more man coverage. We can hit some big pass plays when we can get man matchups. Alot higher percentage instead of taking shots in two deep or three deep zone coverage because we can't run the ball.
I wouldn't be so hard on youknowit85 if I didn't know he is breaking the rules by posting here (that is why our student athletes, especially the high profile sports, tiger football and basketball don't post) and even discussing anything positive or negative with the team. Plus his own comments have been daming of his own coach in the past. And he goes another step over the edge with a remark in reference to Cannon Smith. Not classy at all.
TigerEdward- If I in any way showed a lack of awe for Steele's performance last night then it was my fault entirely. The guy was amazing. In fact, there were some runs he made that almost made me flashback to DW. Seriously. More than once he turned a bad play into a positive, or a negative into a no gain.
Will wasn't amazing, I just thought he was the best we have had this year. I did think he showed a poise that was lacking from either Hall or Bass.
I have a lot of issues with what I saw last night, not from the players but other areas, but I wanted to think about it for a while before posting it. The truth, though, is that if Steele and the QB (whoever it is) do anything remotely like they did last night then we might be competitive, we might just make up for a lot of flaws. I just happen to think that with who we have on the team right now Will is the best QB. As for Steele, he may be the best RB in the league when he's healthy.
But hey, we won, I froze but survived, life could be much worse.

"WILL IS THE BEST OPTION TO WIN THIS YEAR." . . . it does seem that way at the moment, IF (a big IF) he doesn't go into "terribly inaccurate" mode for long stretches. That's what has hurt him before, having several series in a row where he is way off on his throws. And IF he calms down and cuts out the wild heaves downfield like the pick last night and the one at UCF. Those hurt.
"because let's be honest Cannon Smith is going to start next year anyway even if he isn't the best qb during camp" . . . that kind of talk is what some of us have been scared of hearing
And no, some people here will not give any props at all while Tommy West is the coach. They're too afraid it will sound like they're giving him credit for the players' play.

But hey, we won, I froze but survived, life could be much worse.
I can buy that argument. I wasn't out to take a shot at Will. He had a solid game and 'managed' the team. But I also don't think it is fair to Tyler Bass to infer that it was all Will. Remember, Tyler never had a healthy Curtis Steele in the backfield with him this season. Tommy made reference to this. That Tyler helped offset the lack of running game. But I too think Will should start, because he is just more comfortable with the entire offensive playbook after being here
6 years. Tyler, if he is healthy, should still play. Tyler has a chance to be a really good player in this league with the right development. Plus, if we lose two more, we want to at least start getting more reps to guys that are going to be part of the rebuilding.
Will was good. Steele was amazing.
Offensive game ball goes to...............Curtis Steele
Defensive game ball goes to...............Marcus Ball, even though Jamon Hughes had two monster hits for lost yardage.
TW said last night that he pretty much was only playing Tyler because he needed 50-70 yards rushing out of the QB position.
Which tells me that if Curtis doesn't get hurt, this is still Hall's team.
Will is simply a fill-in.
While I was a proponent of playing TB...It may not matter...cause I'm willing to wager that if TW is here next year, TB won't be.

Consider this a call out to everyone who called me stupid for telling you the real feelings of the team. I can just here the "let's just see how he does next week, hot shot." Well come on down to Hattiesburg with us and see.
Please tell me you are not own here bragging after one game. Please tell me your not bragging about beating a 2-3 team. Please tell me your not on here bragging about will when curtis carried the team rushing for 240 yards. You gotta be kidding me. You can come on here and crow alittle if will plays well in the next two games agaist better teams. Anybody can have one good game but the difference in a good player or team is guess what Consistency. Which is what i said Will lacks. For a person who played FB doesn't seem like you know alot about it.
How hard is it to just say that what I said would work, did just that last night? And it will keep working if we stick to the same gameplan: Keep the defense honest, run the ball to control the clock and have a qb to make throwas when they are needed. Can you not just give Will any props at all, or the Oline for keepeing him rptoected last night and opening up holes for Steele. People act like Will's arm has nothing to do with how Steele played last night. When you have a qb that doesn't run, it obviously give more reps to people who need to be running, like say I don't know a freak of nature like Steele. He's a stud and as I said weeks ago, our offense needs to be set-up more like Oklahoma's than West Virginia. We need a qb who can make deep throws and in turn the running backs will pack on the yards. Will is no Bradford, but the scheme can be the same. Why do you think Oklahoma runs for over 200 yards every game? WILL IS THE BEST OPTION TO WIN THIS YEAR. Let's stop the build for next year talk because let's be honest Cannon Smith is going to start next year anyway even if he isn't the best qb during camp.
"WILL IS THE BEST OPTION TO WIN THIS YEAR." . . . it does seem that way at the moment, IF (a big IF) he doesn't go into "terribly inaccurate" mode for long stretches. That's what has hurt him before, having several series in a row where he is way off on his throws. And IF he calms down and cuts out the wild heaves downfield like the pick last night and the one at UCF. Those hurt.
"because let's be honest Cannon Smith is going to start next year anyway even if he isn't the best qb during camp" . . . that kind of talk is what some of us have been scared of hearing
And no, some people here will not give any props at all while Tommy West is the coach. They're too afraid it will sound like they're giving him credit for the players' play.
Herff, you think you found a friend?
This kid was on here a week ago bashing his own coaches and other players. The thread he started had to be deleted. IF he is a player, he is breaking one of Tommy's rules for his players. They ARE NOT suppose to interact on fan sites and message boards for several reasons, in particular his shot at his coaches last week and this week taking a shot at Cannon and that is the same as taking a shot at Fred Smith. So you are out of the loop buddy, you just befriended your Judas.

Will wasn't amazing, I just thought he was the best we have had this year. I did think he showed a poise that was lacking from either Hall or Bass.
I have a lot of issues with what I saw last night, not from the players but other areas, but I wanted to think about it for a while before posting it. The truth, though, is that if Steele and the QB (whoever it is) do anything remotely like they did last night then we might be competitive, we might just make up for a lot of flaws. I just happen to think that with who we have on the team right now Will is the best QB. As for Steele, he may be the best RB in the league when he's healthy.
But hey, we won, I froze but survived, life could be much worse.
I can buy that argument. I wasn't out to take a shot at Will. He had a solid game and 'managed' the team. But I also don't think it is fair to Tyler Bass to infer that it was all Will. Remember, Tyler never had a healthy Curtis Steele in the backfield with him this season. Tommy made reference to this. That Tyler helped offset the lack of running game.

Now we're 100% on the same page. Bass is the most talented we have available, but Will has 4 years on him so he naturally gets things better. I do wonder why Will keeps overthrowing seemingly easy passes, and wonder if maybe he can't plant properly or something.
Steele is simply the horse we have to ride as far as we can. There is no replacement.

I think Will gets too jacked up sometimes and his adrenaline gets the best of him and he overthrows passes. He does tend to get in a hurry and overthow balls. But he seemed relaxed against UTEP. But everything needs to be kept in perspective, it was a great win, but UTEP is pathetic on defense. However, it may be what the doctor ordered to get the offense on track. The Southern Miss and ECU defenses coming up are a couple of the top defenses in the league. With Southern Miss' starting QB out for the season (or that is the last I heard after the UAB game), we have a chance at Southern Miss. I'm going. I hope it isn't a terribly long drive back.
Steele made Hudgens look like a veteran by opening up the passing lanes. The running game was golden for our U of M (ha ha) Tigers last night. I did make a remark while watching the game that Hudgens looked very comfortable in the pocket and seemed to know where his receivers were at every moment. He didn't seemed hurried or pressured just relaxed and enjoying the moment. I say we try the same game plan over the next few weeks and see what happens.

Oh TigerEdward I love how you love to make me out to be this awful person. Do you want to get into with me again? Last time I came back at you ther was NO response before my post got deleted. It was right after you talked about how my parents and family shouldn't be proud of me. I'm not on here to pick fights, that was never my intention. I came on here to give some honest and candid feedback from a PLAYER when everyone was on here roasting us.
Let's be honest, everything I have said on here is the truth. Tommy has lost a feel for the team, will has been the best qb since camp, and Cannon Smith will play next year. Don't act like everyone who supports Memphis football doesn't think the same thing, just put 2 and 2 together. But besides that, He's got great potential and since he has been back to memphis I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He's always positive and has fit right in with all of us.
So in closing, please remember that I have no beef with you or anyone else on here.......UNTIL a gutless wonder like you tries to disrespect me or my family by questioning how I was raised and the man that I have become. In all honesty I don't want a fan like you. I'd be ashamed of myself if I have shook your hand during the TIGERWALK. As a matter of fact, wear a shirt saying "I'm TigerEdward" during the next home game and I'll even come up to you so A.) you will know I am a player and B.) so you can tell me to my face that I'm not a man. Then I can point my parents out and you can go tell them the same thing. That will put an end to the speculation won't it? That's not so hard.

I'm not here to fight with anyone. People can say whatever they want about me, but this idiot brought my family into it before for no reason. And he probably won't even respond to me.
I hear you bro, but what you have to understand about this board is that it is fun and 10% of the time you will get good info (Easterwood or B'ham) but mostly this board is people like 40 to 60 with no life and lots of attitude. If you are a player, thank you for all you do and I hope you get wasted tonight newbys celebrating your win, however if you are not a player but only posing as one, well that is hilarious and somewhat gay.

Oh hey man I know, I just don't appreciate people bringing my family into things for no reason and that's what this clown did to me in a earlier post. I was at Newby's last night bro, can't do it two nights in a row anymore. It's good to be on Highalnd as a winner again. The beer just always seems a little bit colder.

Consider this a call out to everyone who called me stupid for telling you the real feelings of the team. I can just here the "let's just see how he does next week, hot shot." Well come on down to Hattiesburg with us and see.
Please tell me you are not own here bragging after one game. Please tell me your not bragging about beating a 2-3 team. Please tell me your not on here bragging about will when curtis carried the team rushing for 240 yards. You gotta be kidding me. You can come on here and crow alittle if will plays well in the next two games agaist better teams. Anybody can have one good game but the difference in a good player or team is guess what Consistency. Which is what i said Will lacks. For a person who played FB doesn't seem like you know alot about it.
How hard is it to just say that what I said would work, did just that last night? And it will keep working if we stick to the same gameplan: Keep the defense honest, run the ball to control the clock and have a qb to make throwas when they are needed. Can you not just give Will any props at all, or the Oline for keepeing him rptoected last night and opening up holes for Steele. People act like Will's arm has nothing to do with how Steele played last night. When you have a qb that doesn't run, it obviously give more reps to people who need to be running, like say I don't know a freak of nature like Steele. He's a stud and as I said weeks ago, our offense needs to be set-up more like Oklahoma's than West Virginia. We need a qb who can make deep throws and in turn the running backs will pack on the yards. Will is no Bradford, but the scheme can be the same. Why do you think Oklahoma runs for over 200 yards every game? WILL IS THE BEST OPTION TO WIN THIS YEAR. Let's stop the build for next year talk because let's be honest Cannon Smith is going to start next year anyway even if he isn't the best qb during camp.
"WILL IS THE BEST OPTION TO WIN THIS YEAR." . . . it does seem that way at the moment, IF (a big IF) he doesn't go into "terribly inaccurate" mode for long stretches. That's what has hurt him before, having several series in a row where he is way off on his throws. And IF he calms down and cuts out the wild heaves downfield like the pick last night and the one at UCF. Those hurt.
"because let's be honest Cannon Smith is going to start next year anyway even if he isn't the best qb during camp" . . . that kind of talk is what some of us have been scared of hearing
And no, some people here will not give any props at all while Tommy West is the coach. They're too afraid it will sound like they're giving him credit for the players' play.
Herff, you think you found a friend? This kid was on here a week ago bashing his own coaches and other players. The thread he started had to be deleted. IF he is a player, he is breaking one of Tommy's rules for his players. They ARE NOT suppose to interact on fan sites and message boards for several reasons, in particular his shot at his coaches last week and this week taking a shot at Cannon and that is the same as taking a shot at Fred Smith. So you are out of the loop buddy, you just befriended your Judas.
Oh TigerEdward I love how you love to make me out to be this awful person. Do you want to get into with me again? Last time I came back at you ther was NO response before my post got deleted. It was right after you talked about how my parents and family shouldn't be proud of me. I'm not on here to pick fights, that was never my intention. I came on here to give some honest and candid feedback from a PLAYER when everyone was on here roasting us.
Let's be honest, everything I have said on here is the truth. Tommy has lost a feel for the team, will has been the best qb since camp, and Cannon Smith will play next year. Don't act like everyone who supports Memphis football doesn't think the same thing, just put 2 and 2 together. But besides that, He's got great potential and since he has been back to memphis I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He's always positive and has fit right in with all of us.
So in closing, please remember that I have no beef with you or anyone else on here.......UNTIL a gutless wonder like you tries to disrespect me or my family by questioning how I was raised and the man that I have become. In all honesty I don't want a fan like you. I'd be ashamed of myself if I have shook your hand during the TIGERWALK. As a matter of fact, wear a shirt saying "I'm TigerEdward" during the next home game and I'll even come up to you so A.) you will know I am a player and B.) so you can tell me to my face that I'm not a man. Then I can point my parents out and you can go tell them the same thing. That will put an end to the speculation won't it? That's not so hard.
First grow up. You are very immature. You just contradicted yourself above.
Second, as cool as you are trying to make yourself, you didn't address what I have had a beef with. YOU are not suppose to be on a fan site message board posting about the team or coaches. If you want to meet up, we can do at the offices on Normal. They would be interested in both of your threads.
And don't act like a victim because a couple of people kissed up to you because you are a player. You are abusing your priviledge as a player now by breaking YOUR coach's own rules. So sure, get your parents to meet up with us too. I'm sure they would love to know that junior has made some backhanded comments about his team and coach. So be clear, I didn't say anything bad about your family, just about you. I have no respect for a Benedict Arnold. The boards are for the fans, not disgruntled players with an agenda. Plus you know you are in the wrong since you don't address what I'm talking about. I don't care what you posted, not arguing with you over that. You are not suppose to be in these type of discussions. YOU need to address these things internally with the coaches.
And it shows your immaturity to even think I care who you WANT to be a fan. Unless you are an enemy of the program, we need all the fans we can get. 18,000 for homecoming is not raising the bar. But you lowered that when you started trying to be a mouthpiece for the team, and choosing to take shots at fellow players and the coaches, can you follow team rules?
BTW, I will be in Hattiesburg, so it is ironic that you are acting like this, but that is why Tommy has the rule in place. Players are NOT suppose to be getting into debates on the board or even on here. Do you not follow the Coach's or team rules?

I would be interested in PM'ing you one some direct matters, but you have it set up to not take PM's or e-mail. But feel free to PM me and we can get together to see if the rules have changed for you, since the rest of our team seems to follow them.
If the OP really is a player, then I am appalled and, frankly, angry. This is a clear violation not only of team rules, but of team trust. And while I am not and have never been a Tiger football player, I am and always will be a Tiger alum and fan and I have the right to expect my team to follow the rules for the good of all.
Therefore, I would like clarification as the whether or not the OP is actually a current player or not. If so, then all credibility is lost. If not, then welcome to the board.

Actually in my eyes it is classless if he is a player and even more immature than originally thought if he is posing as a player. That it what I think. And to be clear to those jumping in the thread. I haven't argued against many of his points. IF he is a player, HE is breaking a well known and old rule of Tommy's and the coaching staff. So most of you are probably being fooled by a poser. Either way, it is classless to lie if he is not a player, and even more of a classless act to criticize or even post on the team when it is knowingly against team rules. Anyone want clarity, feel free to ask Tommy West, Clay Helton, John Flowers, or Bob Winn. I think the most fun reaction would be out of Tommy if he found out who the player was.

Amen to that. I see he still doesn't address the problems I have with him. He owes his coaches and teamates and apology, well actually he owes them some punishment since he has done this twice now.
I think we all know this is a poser who has been exposed. Because all the players know the rules about this.
Will is almost the QB by default but he did QB the team against UTEP. He made some nice throws and I counted 4 drops that would have accounted for about another 80 yards. What I like is his leadership and moxie. Now, is he the "chosen one" at QB? Not for the future but maybe for this season, depending on Bass' shoulder injury.
There can be no arguing a strong ground game supplements and enhances the passing attack.
Steele is the best runner MEMPHIS has had since DeAngelo.

If Carlos gets more catches then Will is the guy!

I'm new to the forum and this was one of the first posts I came to because I have known Will for a long time. People will say I'm biased because of that, but I do think he's probably the best option......for this season. Tyler I don't think is going to be able to make plays with his arm if the situation arises, but it's no secret he's a much better runner than Will is. I think Will should be the starter, and they should maybe use Bass in a limited role when the situation arises. Like maybe using him in the wildcat formation some instead of Steele all of the time. It would at least pose a threat to throw instead of Steele running all of the time.

Don't let the resident blowhards speak for all of us. You seem to have made a pretty good read of TigerEdward. But, I have to sort of agree with him this once. If it is against a team policy, maybe you should rethink being on here. I'm not trying to tell you what to do though, hell I ignore most policies I come across.
One thing though, you said Will "got to" call audibles. Isn't he the only one who reliably
can?
TigerBill and TigerEdward,
Let it go, please. You have nothing to prove.

Thanks, you are correct. I'm done.
I hate these types of threads.
Some things don't need to be said on a message board. Players probably don't need to post.
Personal knowledge of student-athlete misbehavior doesn't probably need to be posted either.
Call me old fashioned or whatever.

I don't care about proving anything. IF he is a player, it is simple, he is breaking one of Coach West oldest rules for the players. He has no business discussing anything related to the team on a fan message board. He knows this. I don't even care about his opinions, we've heard the same one from several close the program. I don't care if he feels AC Wharton should start at QB, it has nothing to do with my problem with this individual. I'm sure there are players on several of these sites, yet they don't expose themselves to openly go against team policy. So I in no way support it. Once he puts down the helmet and ends his career, he can talk about the coaches and teamates all he wants, but he is over stepping and abusing his priviledge as a player. It is pretty simple.

It ain't a player.
Players care about two or three things...and hint: messageboards ain't one of em.
