Our O failed to give us the critical 1st down we need to win.

how much closer to a win can we get next week without actually getting it? I'm predicting we go up 77-0, Navy scores 83 straight, we score with 1 second left to make it 83-83 and then they block the PAT and return it for the win. Write that down.

by now we all realize our defense will not win any games for us anytime soon

we must outscore the opposition

sure would be nice to have a running game so we could have the entire RUN & shoot offense

as bad as it is this year, if we don't recruit a RB for next year and depending on how bad Butler's injury is, we may have NO running game next year

This reminds me of the scene in Forrest Gump where Forrest rescues Bubba from the jungle after he gets a huge hole blown into his stomach... Bubba's about to die and asks "Forrest, what happened?"

Forrest, master of the obvious, replies, "You got shot."

Another close, excruciating loss. This defense makes me want to blow chunks but this offense has me giddy.
