DUE TO A STATISTICAL ERROR AT VALDOSTA STATE, JADA BYERS HAD 319 RUSHING YARDS, NOT 283.

BYERS BECOMES THE FIRST VIRGINIA UNION RUNNING BACK TO RUSH FOR OVER 300 YARDS IN A SINGLE GAME.

And 1/3 of that was on 2 plays!

Are next two games are winnable ... Miles and Shorter. Real test will come at Delta State at their house.

From what I personally saw the last two games I'm not certain. Shorter beat Catawba last week. Miles should be but we can't judge what has happened in the past anymore.

Wow, is that a Valdosta defensive ineptitude record? If so, I imagine coach Jackson will not have that printed up in future game programs.

I am holding my opinion for a few weeks. If we see improvement each week, then that is a good thing. The next three weeks we are playing away. Let's see how it works out.

That is why I am not calling for coach Jackson's job at this point and I don't think I will see anything that will cause me to do so this season. I typically like to give a new coaching staff a little time. My big issue is the play calling, that is where I really want to see improvement. I really believe that is the biggest reason why the Keiser game was so close and why we lost on Saturday night.

I think it is important for all of us to remember that the season is young and we have a new coach; the sky is not falling. In 2012 we lost the first game of the season to Saginaw and we all know how that season ended. I'm not saying this one will end that way but I am saying that all of our goals are still out in front of us.

Go Blazers!

What was the issue?
I know VSU has good ball players, so it's not talent. Was it poor execution by the players? Poor coaching? Coaching decisions?
Or was VUU just the better team?

Herb go taken for a ride that's what happened. Everyone in the stands were saying the same thing. How can a defensive minded coach have such a horrible defense. Why are we going for it (twice and failed) on the 50 yard line that VUU turned into two touchdowns.

The refs did give VUU a gift with the touchdown that was a fumble however we shouldn't put the refs in that position.

I didn't see any improvement from game one to game two (Maybe worse). I'm afraid the GSC is going to spank us like a wet noodle. I saw where Shorter beat Catawba also.

You are so right GNB. We were having success running the ball. We should have just rammed it down their throats and wear those hogs down.
If you noticed, Durham kept his passes high and overthrown, to me, it is apparent he is afraid of throwing INT’s.
According the the statistics, he only completed %50 of his passes and 3 ints. Hope we stay with the run as we have a great stable.

However, VVU has a great team. I’m sure they will be in the playoffs and I will be rooting for them.

[getnastyblazers]

As an interested outsider it is perplexing to me how the excellent run game of the Blazers isn’t used to greater effect and a talented defensive roster plays so average with a defensive oriented head coach.

I note from updated GSC stats that Valdosta has (1) sack in two games. How is this possible? Did the QB trip and a nearby Blazer just happened to fall on him?

Even the pass happy Argos will run more than they pass if the opponent dictates it as they did last night against Southwest Baptist. It looks like GSC title may be battle between Argos and Wolves at this point of season.

The play calling is driving me insane. I used to yell for Dean to RTDB, this is far and above that.

[getnastyblazers]

Virginia Union just May have a great team and a well coached one as well.

Very possible, at minimum they are very good; that was clear last night and they scored 77 the week before. At the same time we have issues, the two are not mutually exclusive however, I do think myself and other VSU folks haven’t voiced that well, we are a bit salty.

[VSUFOOTBALLFAN]

Sad, so much talent on the offensive side. The defense looked out of position all night long. I thought Jackson knew how to coach defense. It's going to be a long season if that defense doesn't get better fast.
