Texas vs. Nation Game Thread

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

The game comes on CBS College Sports today at 2est. There are several FCS players in the game.

Clay Harbor, Danny Batten, Ryan Perrilloux, Quentin Scott, Arthur Moats, Tyler Eastman, Chris Campbell, Derek Hardman, Adrian Tracy, Deji Karim, Sean Lissemore, Larry Hart, etc. are all players I will have my eye on today. They all had decent or very impressive practices in El Paso. Eastman, Campbell, and Scott are sleepers that have been flying under the radar with a shot in the late rounds.

Karim had a nice screen pass but then just dropped one.

Some nice tackles made by Batten and Knicky so far.

Texas 0 Nation 0 6:01 in first quarter.

Schillinger of Montana is getting a lot of time so far.

Zardas also had a nice carry in the first quarter. Still 0-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Tracy and Moats playing LB and you can tell they are new as they are hesitant on reads but once they see the ball they look comfortable going to get the ball carrier. Both have a good tackle in the first quarter.

Schillinger had a very nice stop on Holiday on special teams with 14 minutes left in the first half.

Tracy had a nice open field tackle on Flemming and Harbor. Tracy is having a very good game so far. He has 3 tackles. Anything over 5 in an all-star game where you only play half the game or less is very impressive too.

Texas 3 Nation 0 with 9:54 left in the first half.

UTEP DB recoveries fumble and scores a TD. Texas 10 Nation 0 9:40 left in first half.

10-0 Texas leads with 6:45 left in first half.

E.J. Wilson of UNC is having a good game. Possibly the MVP so far. Karim and Tracy have had the best games of the FCS players.

10-0 Texas leads with 1:29 left in first half.

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

Texas leads 10-3 at halftime.

Texas leads 17-0 after a big play by LSU WR.

Perriloux looks like he dropped a couple pounds. Looks more mobile...............

And just as I type that he fumbles on his own 3...

[danefan]

Zardis from UMass with a TD reception.

Nice catch by Zardas. I really think because of his blocking and receiving he will make a roster.

LSU WR scores again. Texas 24 Nation 10 with 5:27 left in third quarter.

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

Juamorris Stewart had a ncie TD catch. 31-17 Texas leads with 1:42 in third quarter.

Lissemore got Rusty Smith in the end zone for a safety. Texas 36-17 lead with 2:39 left.

The guy who stood out in the game was Sean Lissemore. Best DT on the field, with the safety, another solo tackle for loss on an outside slant play, and a bunch of tackles. Showed strength, and technique in keeping himself square and getting off blocks. He started, and played way more than half the game.

Why was he playing for the Texas team? Did he play his HS ball there?

I really like Lissemore. His athletic ability will allow him to make a roster. I agree with you that he is the best DT there. He should get drafted in the 5th-7th round range. The combine really snubbed him. I thought both he and Tracy should have been invited instead of just Tracy. Tracy was solid and might go in the late rounds but I think Lissemore is more likely to be a starter in the NFL than Tracy. The main reason I say that is because Tracy is a tweener that will have to learn a new position but Lissemore will be a 3-technique DT like he has been in college.

I have no idea. He was born in Teaneck, NJ, and grew up in Dumont, NJ.

Agreed on Lissemore's odds being better. Tracy took a step forward with this game, showing he can play in space off the line. His play in the first half when he came to stand up spot on the left end reminded what he can do for a defense. Read quickly, and crashed the end driving the fullback into the ballcarrier, and making the tackle for loss on a 3rd and goal from the one yard line. One of the most impressive plays of the entire game.

edit: That's a weird bit of sensorship with the stars. The word was "fullback".

Let's try again......"full"......"back".
