Its a mark of how far we have come in a short time that we are 4-2 and everyone is annoyed since our offense really hasnt showed up yet for a game. Imagine what we can do when they finally start clicking.
I'm actaully hacked we didnt hang 50 on Tulsa. That is a long way from hoping we get 2 wins two years ago.

Agreed. I figured we would get at least 35 on them, considering they are one of the worst pass defenses in the nation. I also can't believe we threw for nearly 400 yards and could only manage 21 points.

That's what happens when you start inside your own 10 4 or 5 different drives

I'm always satisfied with a win.

Same here. 4-2 and 3-0 in CUSA is looking pretty good right now

Tulsa definitely had their chances.
Yardage wise -- 400+ yds ain't too shabby and almost 3 receivers with 100 yards.
For some reason, just didn't seem like that many yards and the offense still isn't on track.

Tulsa's DBs really suck

We have had 370 & 380 yards passing the last two weeks. Sounds like the passing game is on track. But watching the game it didn't seem like it.

I agree.
I was surprised when I heard the passing yardage, and our total offensive yardage, for this game.

There is a difference between being happy with a win and satisfied. Tulsa is the number 118 pass defense in the country playing a supposed high power offense - we put yards on them but not as much scoring as we should have and way too many punts (some pretty bad ones i might add).
this team is good enough that when we play this kind of team at home in perfect weather we should score 50. so i am not satisfied at all and I bet JJ is not either.
Defense was good all things considered - kicking game was bad again. DJ is great receiver but If we put him back there for a punt again then we deserve whatever we get.

Ding ding ding...
The secret lies here.

I say we put 11 men on the line of scrimmage and bring the house. The worst* that could happen is we start inside our own 1 yard line; plus there is a chance for a block or a muffed punt.
*possibility of a roughing penalty - but that's a negative.
