I don't understand why we aren't just going for 2 every time. I know we had a bad drive, but TT consistently sucks against the run and we have to leverage our points better if TT is just going to score on every single drive.

The DAWGS need to get a TURNOVER right now!!
This would give us the best chance to win. We're already playing catch-up.Quote:

Im not even worried about holding. We're NOT gonna get a flag.
This!
EVERYTIME we go to the 3-man rush, they eat us ALIVE!!! And every time we bring pressure, something good happens.
How many times does Baker have to see this before he realizes we need PRESSURE on Mahomes??
The only way we get a holding call is if they Stat using ropes and chains. Maybe.
Hey Refs, when a Texas Tech lineman is wearing white gloves and you can't see any fingers sticking out because he is making a fist.......he is holding our guy by the jersey!
Baker didn't graduate from Tech, so his critical thinking is lacking.Quote:

4 possessions, 4 TD's
Expect every single QB for TT to play in this game.
We knew they were gonna crush us offensively. Our only hope has always been to outscore them. Higgins ain't gonna get it done.Quote:

This is one of the saddest defensive performances I've witnessed.
I was at the houston game in 90/91Quote:

Reminds me of the Houston game back in '91 when David Klingler was the QB of UH
We looked clueless & helpless on defense that night
Freaking embarrassing
I'm starting to see that our success on defense was solely limited to the razorback's inexperienced QB and the fact that SC State sucks in every phase of the game (we're the only team that SC State has scored on all year). Our defense is really bad, and unfortunately we haven't had a real chance to see it until Week 3.
SC State's Schedule
UCF— 38-0
La Tech— 53-24
Clemson— 59-0
onside kick every time we score...field position means nothing, we don't stop them...
This should be our new slogan.Quote:

Overthrowing everyone
I forgot we were wearing red and thought "Finally! A horrible pass from Mahomes!"
But it was just Higgins.
WTF- Higgins is missing wide open receivers.
3 and out
lolQuote:

Oy.
This is pitiful. We make it so unnecessarily hard on ourselves.
He is airmailing receivers just like he did 3 years ago!
Yup that's what I was thinking last week. How does he start with that lack of mental awareness?Quote:

Thank God for the flag to help out that booming punt. Not that it makes any difference. They would score from the moon.
Guys are we still feeling confident about C-USA games?
Its just so they can pad their passing stats.Quote:

Baker should have been fired last season. Not worth shit as a d.c.
Yes - we aren't going to see an offence like this againQuote:

Hey Skip, it's hard to run "100%" of the offense when your boneheaded QB leads you to a 3-and-out on every series! I don't care if Smith is only capable of running 10 different plays, at least he can execute them on a level above the pee-wee flag football guy we have in there now.
Ive never seen our defense get "BLOCKED" so much. Our guys don't know shit about shedding a blocker.
Our D was supposed to be hammered. Our O is spittering against one of the worst D's in the country.
What about a worse defense?Quote:

So, we're doing so bad BB&B shuts down (again)?
Or were we attacked again?
And we're back! Which is more than I can say for Higgins.
Just keep it out of his hands and we'll be fine. If Holtz wants to leave him in to salve his wounded ego, fine. Just keep handing it to Craft, Scott, and Bonnette.
Anyway, coming out of the half

Have you seen the other CUSA scores? We are all doing aweful.
They have trouble defending the run. Jmar gives us options and better able to stretch the field. Think we need to try him.
Just being raided.Quote:

Sometimes you're the hammer, and sometimes you're the nail.
That Mahomes is one of the best college QBs I've seen in years. What an arm! Reminds me of Matt Dunigan.
Still, if our defense will show up, we can actually make a game of this. Keep running it.
There you go with the fringe fan talk again. One might think you actually want to give us a chance to win!Quote:

Higgins still QB.
Hacked by the kool-aid drinkers and sunshine pumpers.Quote:

Higgins can be QB all he wants as long as he just catches the snap and gives it to the RB.
i would believe it.Quote:

Craft sure runs hard.
If our game plan is to run the ball or to throw a short screen pass on every play, why even have a competition for QB? Any talented high school QB could play at the level Higgins is at. He holds onto the ball forever and he's not the least bit sneaky when it comes to handing the ball off. He might as well SHOUT "Hey defense— just so you all know in advance, I'm about to hand the ball off to one of our running backs. You better bring your safety in closer."
YES! Run run run run!

We're looking a little better boys..
Now let's see if the defense made any significant adjustments.
Kam is finding his place in the Wing T. He's to good of an athlete to not be involved in the offense. Good job McKnight!!
Higgins doesn't have the arm strength or accuracy. Even the kook-aid drinkers can see that.Quote:
