I am very excited about this RB.  I hope we actually keep him in the game.

Ball security.  Lost a fumble, and fumbled out of of bounds on one play.

 

 

 

Hmm I would still take my chances because throwing the ball looks like spray n' pray.

Guys, I don't care who he's playing against, tying a record of 275 yards rushing in his first game, and tying the record of 4 TDs is amazing.

Yes, tougher foes will make it tough sledding, but here's what he has, regardless: his lateral cuts, stop/starts and burst from start to full speed is the best I've EVER seen at USF. Yes, it was WCU, but those skills can't be denied.

My only knocks on Mack:

Ball security. Lost a fumble, and fumbled out of of bounds on one play.

Letting up running on 2 of the long TDs. A faster team will catch, strip & recover if he lets up. I think Taggart spoke to him about it, but he really needs to work on this.

Still, he brought a ton of energy & spark to a team desperately in need. He won't have this success against other foes, but hopefully White & Co (or Bench) will improve, so we don't need to rely on RB. Smazza was right...other teams will stuff the box until we prove we have other plays that work.

On the fumble the ball was actually punched out. I don't hold that against him as he was holding it against his body correctly.

I thought spray and pray was the official term for catholic birth control.

No it's what the priest does when he's hearing confession

I know it's only one game, but I don't see any reason why he can't run for 2500 yards this year.

I hope you are kidding

3000? I was being conservative, but I love your optimism!

Agree on the lost fumble.  He was going down & it was punched out. Seems like he had a good grip/placement.

 

The fumble out of bounds was just a gang tackle.

 

I'm not saying cut his carries.  It is VERY hard to find fault in a record setting day. I'm just suggesting these 2 items to work on.

And as effective (hence, my existence).  Now, my son, that quip will cost you 20 Hail Marys and 15 Our Fathers.

 

Now go out & sin no more.
