OFFICIAL GAME 4 THREAD: TCU vs. SMU

[vielsiehorsepower]

Sorry, couldn't watch this offense sober. Keyboard is not my friend at the moment

[Charleston Pony]

D has quit. Completely demoralized because O is really weak. Hicks is not the answer at QB, Too many missed opportunities because he is just not very accurate with his throws

[03Mustang]

You have one line that can play and the other team has 2-3 lines of depth that are equal or better than your one line....no amount of desire is going to overcome that unless they have none.

It's depth.

[ponyte]

Sad we have unsocial teams as part of the game. That has hurt us.

[ready4abowl]

I really want to drink the Kool-Aid and think our team is getting better, I just don't see it. I hope I'm wrong.

Had I let up for a second when I was an athlete at SMU, my coach would have been in my grill for days. I don't see that passion in this team/coaching staff.

[03Mustang]

Also not saying Hicks is great, but losing Natour is huge. We have zero depth at OL and the game changed significantly after that.

[ponyte]

We went form a Sr Qb to a Fr Qb. And we just don't have enough overall talent to keep up with better teams. We are better overall but have huge gaps to close.

How do you give up 30+ points in your house to the team down the street?

I would be questioning the 3 offensive points more than the 33 given up by the defense.

Yep. Pretty much. Real easy to "quit" when your legs stop moving as fast because you've been facing a rotation of fresh guys all night

[Mestengo]

Ouch

[ponyte]

As expected with a team with talent and depth against a team without talent and depth. We just nee more talent. And we are young and need more talent and experience. I can't get too worried about this team. We are better just need more talent and experience.

Sorry, that's true. Should have asked, "How do you LOSE by 30+ points in your house to the team down the street?.

[SMUer]

It's sad that we have played two rivals in extreme down years, have a defense that is playing miles better than we thought they would, are in need of statement wins, and we are stuck with a freshman QB who can't seem to make basic throws or move this offense consistently, even with little pressure. Can't believe we don't have a next-one-up. June's final dagger.

You focus on the one thing you can control, which is how hard you train. Hit the gym more. Run another 5 miles on Sunday. Dunno, but if you have the drive, you figure it out.
