We're really going to talk about Syracuse and Georgia Tech being better than us? The Syracuse that lost to Stanford? The 5-loss Georgia Tech team, that also lost to a Louisville team we beat?

I hate to say it but at what point do all these bone headed mistakes fall on the coaches. These false starts added to the constant gifts. This is an embarrassing showing.

End of the day, we have four drives now inside the 20 and we have 3 points to show for it.

Throw in 3 interceptions, 2 for pick sixs.

And, it's a recipe for disaster.

Halftime against Alabama. I think 0 - 28.
May the forth be with us.

Yes, we’ve had a fun season! We all have high expectations that, sadly & infuriting, haven’t panned out today. We will never be “chosen” again should the opportunity arise again so hopefully our team grows & learns. We wouldn’t be venting if we had shown up & played.

Yes and I recall Bear Bryant was so upset with his first strings showing, he angrily pulled them and inserted the 3rd string. The 1st string got the message.

Embarrassing throughout. We should be a case study how to shoot ourselves in the foot. A first and goal at the two and another false starts. A missed FG. Gift after gift.

Shooting ourselves in the foot all day long. These teams are much more evenly matched talent wise than the scoreboard shows

Perhaps a reason for our disastrous false starts: the crowd noise plus the PedState line is beating ours so badly our guys are gunshy.

ACC scheduled our 1st 2 conference games against the two teams that met in the championship game last year...and we spoiled their "welcome to the ACC greeting". Schedule makers thought they were making it tough for us.

Moment toooooo big for us today. How do you fix that? More of a mental thing for Jennings…like a golfer choking in the moment - strange day. #ThisTooShallPass

Any SMU fan who would insinuate that we don’t belong here is not a true fan.

What an infamous performance by Kevin. What a villainous betrayal of his teammates. Two weeks in a row, he single handedly sabotaged his team leading to two defeats in what well could’ve been two historic victories.
A long tradition of existence.
