From Tuscaloosa newspaper, How Southern Miss got Ethan Crawford...

This is a 2022 article but timely now.

In case you were curious

I went through the play by play on ESPN so far this season to see how often we run the ball on first down, we all know the exact play, below are the results by game. Only about 4 times was it not Gore running the ball.

Alcorn: 3/12 (25%)
FSU: 5/12 (42%)
Tulane: 4/10 (40%)
Ark State: 7/14 (50%)
Tx State: 5/15 (33%) This was about 50% at halftime then we had 4 drives that were passes during the comeback attempt
ODU: 8/10 (80%)

Total for season: 32/73 (44%) that is astounding considering that for the FSU game like 5 drives started with a penalty so you were facing 1st and 15 or more which takes you out of the run game automatically and then TX state you had to pass to try and get back into the game. So if you are a D coordinator you can pretty much just run blitz up the middle on first down and feel pretty safe about it. This was me looking at a drive chart for 5 minutes, imagine what a grad assistant watching 5 hours of tape can figure out on Hall's tendencies. What's that old saying about the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The Talent Level In The...

....Power 5 vs the Group of 5 is great. My son played Ball at Northshore and after he graduated my buddies and I went to a game every year to rehash the past. One year we played Ponchatoula and T J Finley. Everyone was impressed that he committed to LSU. After watching, I told my friends he would never play at LSU. He didn't. A big guy, strong arm, not particularly instinctive and not very athletic. He went to Auburn and my niece, a graduate thought he could play. He couldn't. He goes to Texas St and he's a stud. The difference in talent from one situation to the other is huge. We won't begin to be competitive until we find a QB. It's been years since we've had one. We have to luck into one eventually.
