The fact Sampson was the starter makes me seriously worry about the coaching staff’s decision making.
Where would they be if Johnson is the QB to start the season? The season is already shot now.
Agree completely. We know we couldn't have a worse record than we do now, and possibly could have a much better one.

Whoever is QB is pretty much a sitting duck with the OLine we got right now.

Also true. Johnson looks like he can make some pretty good throws, but if the O-line keeps letting guys get to him on both sides...there's only so much scrambling he can do.

Oh, we're long past panic. Panic was when we were 0-2.
I'm to "I just hope we don't go winless" mode.

With all the doom and gloom already mentioned about the season, I'll just go ahead and throw this in as well. The TV coverage is horrible, even worse than the play on field. Sucks you can't even get decent at best coverage of the game. I don't understand how the whole ESPN3 and Plus telecasts work, but they suck, and bad. Sorry rant over, Go Leathernecks.....

For the most part with the FCS, ESPN just runs what the host schools send them. It's up to the schools themselves to put together a quality product.
For some schools, local media (TV stations) put together the whole broadcast (NDSU, for example). Other schools have their sports broadcasting students do it (that's what we do). I've also seen schools trot out a couple of cameras, and just sync the video feed to the local radio feed for audio.
Unless your issue is that the stream itself is glitchy or something...in which case that is probably ESPN's fault.
