GOOD MORNING. These are not throwaway gimme games. Sandwiched between visiting #1 Clemson and hosting #8 Auburn, Lamar was a prime candidate for one of those zombie sleepwalking games where we put up 30 points against an FCS squad and give ourselves all a good scare. Instead, we cruised into the sixties and held them to a single field goal.
BUT WE DIDN’T SCORE TOUCHDOWNS ON EVERY SINGLE DRIVE. Calm down. It’s fine. Jimbo got is quarterback’s confidence back, got to rest his starters, and got to see what a lot of backups are capable of. Nobody got hurt, far as we can tell.
