OFFICIAL GAME 4 THREAD: TCU vs. SMU

[Rebel10]

Defense been on the field too longer.

TCU is down this year...we are rising, but not in their league, from players to coaches to facilities to conference.This team is doing a decent job fighting, and even though there is no such thing as a moral victory, the effort is worth noting. As we were last week, there is a lack of ability to cover post and crossing patterns, and that burned us in all four games so far.

Keep fighting.

Clank...and good. Somedays you are the bug, and somedays you are the windshield

Patterson looks svelte this year...the towel girl looks overworked....

This is difficult to watch. I know a lot of you think things are different this time, but I just don't see it. Same lack of desire/fire. Same giving up a ton of points to start the second half. Same players looking tired as the game wears on.

Wish we had been a little more aggressive earlier, esp on 4th & short.

We aren't good enough to not go for it on 4th

Do you not realize how large the talent gap is and how young our team is? It's happening, but we aren't there yet.

[03Mustang]

I do agree we should be going for it there (and a few other times)

[Rebel10]

Every defense we play from this point on will be better than Liberty. I hope BH can improve and get the offense going better.

[ponyte]

We just don't have enough horses to stay with better teams. WE are young so here is hope with experience gained and better recruiting.

[03Mustang]

There's a reason we hang in there first half and then fade, and it's not coaching.

Enjoy the ride, note the improvement, and take SMU in the first half every week.

The heck does talent or youth have to do with desire, giving up points to start second half or conditioning?

Please tell me why we fade in second half, if it's not coaching?

[peruna81]

TCU has played REALLY poorly...our offense has to maintain tempo, like the first series. I don't know when I have ever seen TCU's receivers drop this many passes.

Tp beat a better team, you have to take chances...the defense has, the offense, not so much.
