Leach was wise to give doege a start and see what he could do, but Potts outplayed him. I remember another guy who threw several interceptions in his first few starts- Graham Harrell. We need to get behind Potts and hope he can grab us a few wins until Sticks gets well. Potts is our guy for now.

O-line, not too well. They have to give ANY QB, whether it be Potts, Doege, or Sticks time in the pocket. Doege did Ok, but he is rusty, having not played in 4 years. Give him time, and he'll be a great pocket qb along the lines of Kingsbury, Cumbie, Harrell. I think Potts played OK as well, I think the cobwebs have cleared from his head, finally. Glad to see him "GiveItToBatch!!!" Now for a well-deserved off week to heal up, make some of those adjstments, and prepare to give it to OKIE LITE! GUNS UP!

Go support some other team. Stop ragging on individual players. I'm a true raider fan. I support all of the players all the time even when they make mistakes on the field. Give it a rest.

One bad defensive day does not a bad DC make - especially when the qb keeps throwing picks. Potts threw 3 INTs to North Dakota! If it weren't for strong defensive efforts, there's no way we'd be 6-3 right now. Remember how poorly the offense played at Nebraska in the 2nd half? Who kept us in that game? Ruff and the D. Before that, they held KSU to14 pts. And before that... oh yeah... Potts was the starter, so they had to play on a short field 3-4 times a game. ALSO - RUFF AND THE D HELD UT TO 340 TOTAL YDS IN AUSTIN!!! To say that he's a poor coach is ludicrous. It is so naive of people to support Potts and trash Ruff.

Pretty easy for you to talk trash on Potts from the comfort of your home. The reason why Batch found the holes is because Potts did what he suppose to, check to the run when he their is an opportunity. Also, you should be ashamed of your screen name. A "real" Tech fan would not treat a player with that kind of disrespect. Sure....you can be frustrated with a player, but to say he needs to play at WTAM just shows your ignorance. I recall Harrell having a very similar start to his QB career here at Tech too. So here is the deal, when Potts leads this team to a BCS game next year how about you stay at home......we don't need your fair weather mentality. “Potts Still Sux”…… you are ignorant to the game of football.

Wlson Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:05:50 +0000 http://www.redraiders.com/?p=12167#comment-26402 I think because of many of the injuries to some key dudes this season, the Coaches have undoubtedly done a pretty good job in patch-working both the D and O! As for some of the grammar here.......especially "I seen".......NOT GREAT, by any standard. Grammar matters IF we choose to sound off on-line! 'Seems to me that Potts' most critical problem is simply throwing high way too often. As for Potts' EFFORT........me thinks we might be a little more fair with him. He IS A D-I QB, pure and simple! I personally wish Leach & Co. employed a running QB............along with his obvious penchant for being a pass guru....could be unstoppable. MOST OF THE TIME! Great job Raiders! You guys have us all proud of your effort! KU isn't anybody's pushover! Mark Mangino is also one hell of a Coach! GO TECH!
