Not to mention the bounce pass on 3rd down that was not reviewed. Those who saw this on ESPN3 know what I am talking about.

You are exactly right. Big fail by the upstairs crew for not being all over a review of that play, and you have to give props to McNeese for hustling to get the snap off. They were certainly aware they caught a break.

From GA's article:

Having said that, he wasn't entirely accountable for his own fumble -- asked if a McNeese player had stripped the ball, as replays indicated: "Honestly, I don't know. I can't explain, because I feel I didn't fumble. I don't want to talk about it, really." Asked to clarify, he said he thought his knee was down, though the fumble was reviewed by officials and the initial ruling (a fumble before his knee touched the ground) was upheld.

I'm sorry but that is not accountability. He let that guy take the ball right out of his hands and just acts like there was no mistake. This is the problem with our team IMO.

Have to agree, WWMJD. That sounds like the Shaw that stormed off the field last year. Could be his personality.

The only good thing is that he was pissed off about it.  It bothered him that he lost it.  He was carrying a football around with him to practice holding on to the ball.  That was a bad fumble but I think he will work hard to not let it happen again.  He ran his tail off.

Nice game from him.

I didn't think it was a fumble, but my opinion doesn't matter.

think about how much better his stats would be if we didn't have to throw the ball the entire second half

he showed the explosiveness that we all knew he had. but the word is and has been out about him....STRIP STRIP STRIP

 

as for that incomplete pass on 3rd down that wasn't reviewed....that was the very start of the momentum change in the game.

 

Our defense was like a hot air balloon with the gas shut off.

Knee down or not, that ball was just pulled out of his hands.  Running up the middle you need two hands on the ball.

 

That said, he had a great game and the positives far outweigh the negative.
