Not saying it was a perfect game but they are getting better over the last 2 games.

Unfortunately our offense is getting worse.

The only times davis has looked good this year we're when he was letting it fly to courtland. If Sutton doesn't make a play, at the very least it opens up running lanes and other receivers. Every other time when he never looks Suttons way the offense looks [deleted] poor. Only time it picked up was when he threw to him. I am certainly playing arm chair qb but this is getting stupid.

It's simple:throw the ball to your future nfl receiver

I agree the defense actually made some plays just not on third down or in clutch. David Johnson made 5 highlite plays for example. The killer plays were the Pick 6 by Davis and Deion's fumbled punt when we stopped Tulsa to start 2nd half

Was Johnson injured or suspended?

Deion's fumble was completely demoralizing and could not have come at a worse time

I was looking at the stat chart and saw that RC Cox had a big game. I hadn't remembered seeing him play before...apparently he is a sophomore. Which of the LB positions does he play?

I believe he went in at the star position when # 11 went down injured.

The D definitely looked better this week. On offense, it seemed several times like we would go nowhere in the running game on 1st and 2nd downs, but then Davis would find Sutton for a big pass play on 3rd. We need big time help on the o-line so we can run the ball effectively. But this one wasn't on the D for sure.

yes a walkon 3rd string LB got our first sack this year from the DBs/LBs-that tells you a lot about our defensive personnel

Don't understand how the two biggest and highly touted guys on the D-line don't play. Hollie and Minor have the moves... just watch them play grab [deleted] on the sidelines, dance to the music and never focus on the game at hand.

Really, one of two things is going on. One we are saving them for next year and somehow getting another year of play for them. Or, they are going to develop a medical condition and have to leave the team.

If none of the above they are undermining the "fight till you die" attitude our team needs. Bus tickets are in order.
