Is that we don’t give up and we play till the end of the game.

Agreed

Could have folded and gotten blown out, but didn't. Proud of my team.

A number of people remarked to me that even though they didn't care for SMU we have no quit.

Goddamn what a game.

Seriously, we need to just cut the special teams kicker. He's awful. He cost us the game. Had he kicked it through the end zone; this would have been different.

Get someone from the soccer team to just drive the ball to the end zone on kick offs. Can’t have the opposing teams start from midfield almost every single time. It’s not just the terrible kicker. Too many bone-headed mistakes with unnecessary late hits too but if the ball is driven to the end zone then less of a problem.

Kicker, coverage - SD was dead-on when he called special teams "atrocious"

I would assume that's a major focus in practice this week

totally agree soccermom....a lot of SMU teams in the past would have quit.

by not quitting we sent a message to the world

i thought it said a lot when the Memphis coach went for it on 4th later in the game when they were up......HE KNEW!

IMO....that wasn't cockiness....that dude was scared...and we still almost came all the way back.

we're ok except for our special teams...maybe in the off-season Sonny can get a real special teams coach and some transfer kickers/punters

It's not the norm for kickers & punters to be heavily recruited and have a lot of scholarship offers but it sure would be worth a 'ship if Sonny & Co could find a good one for next year. You just don't see many kids coming right out of H.S. being labeled "can't miss" prospects. Can't remember the last time we talked about a kicker in the recruiting roundup
