Glad that Snead was given a shot and that he delivered. Bull will tell you I thought he should have gotten his opportunity last year. I think he had a lot to overcome since he wasn't recruited by the current staff and QB is a position that a staff brings in to fit their program blue print.
I know that last night we were determined to run the ball come hell or high water but sometimes it has me scratching my head when 1st & 2'nd downs are both runs, series after series, straight up the middle with Thomas who was going nowhere last night. That was leaving Sneed in a predictable passing situation time after time.
Hoping that we do open in up a little bit and give the team more of a 2 dimensional look. Two times we took a shot down the field, one for a touchdown and the other to Boyd which eventually set up a field goal. Speaking of Boyd, I can't remember if he has caught a pass since the 1'st game and he had several nice catches last night.
With more and more of the WR's going down we will hopefully get to see what Cui can do. He could really go off for a big game as he was one of Sneed's favorite targets during Fall Camp. I don't know if we have any receivers we were hoping to red shirt sitting on the sideline that might get called up.
All that said the Rebels accomplished what they wanted last night. They got the win. The got Sneed's 1st game under his belt. The defense played much better [DB's still need work). Lots of exciting plays. Only downside is injuries to the receivers. Next Man Up!
Go Rebels!
