We saw smart coaching and the ability of our coaches to make adjustments during the game. This staff apparently struggles with game time adjustments. We continually make the same mistakes. Lack of discipline being one of them. The UTSA game gave us hope as we did look better but we also know if a wide open UTSA receiver hadn't dropped a sure td pass towards the end of the game, we would have lost again after not making the adjustment to stop receivers from getting wide open.
In short, we are 4-2, but the educated USM fan struggles to accept the level of play we are showing. The second half of the UNT game looked like our coaches had mailed it in for the second half after taking a 21-7 lead into halftime. I think Tech fans seem to be experiencing the same type of season. This is a huge game for both schools. Hopefully it will be some great football played between two proud programs.
