2020 Week 11

Rainy evening in Pine Bluff and MSU is hungry for a win. Jarrod takes the first snap inside the LE for a 21 yard ramble. Two plays later it's Wrye on a toss sweep to the house!

On State's first possession, Nolen hurdles a cut block, catches up to the QB Bowers on the opposite side of the field, smashes him to the turf for a sack and knocks the ball loose. And stands over him staring down into his puppy dog eyes. This man is Heisman worthy.

Late in Q1, MSU got a break when PR Shane Vice wiggled once too often and dropped the ball at our 30. Power running got the pig to our 11. Then pressure from Nolen caused Bowers to throw a wounded duck out into the coverage. MLB Jose Miera caught the pass at our 1. A Bulldog WR caught him at our 30, but Miera shook out of that and continued to our 47 where he was tackled from behind by #18 Garrett.

Jason Nolen again had a big game with 8 tackles, 6 for loss, 5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. He'll need to keep that up to stay in front of the Heisman crowd.

After the game, Pine Bluff received its final commit of the 2020 campaign. The most highly regarded OT prospect in the nation, Tom Lee, 6-3, 300, from Dumas, Texas.

We didn't promise him playing time next year, but he committed anyway. Lee joins the three OG prospects who signed with us. Next year will be a rebuilding season on the OL but the year after should be good.
