The DT's weren't called on to stop the run very often. Leonard did have a few nice tackles and a sack. Otherwise, there was virtually no pass rush without the blitz. As I said previously, we looked like a bunch of midgets trying to play against grown men. :roll:

Do you know of a Tech person to ever turn down a cold beverage? i know i dont

Why were we trying to go one on one on the passing game in the red zone? That was easy points for Tech.

McCann made some play-however, his man often made better plays as he gave us a lot of receptions today. He wasn't a shutdown corner today. He's got plenty of room for improvement.

Bright spot - unrelated to football - in my opinion is the new and upgraded PA system. First time in several years that I have actually heard the PA's voice not sounding like it came from a Mr. Microphone system.

We're in no hurry--We're SMU! Maybe next year we only lose by 30. It normally takes 20+ years to build winning season, right? I know Utah, Boise State, TCU, UTEP, Hawaii, Fresno State only took a few years, but we like to take our time. Pony Up! I can't wait for the 2017 season--we should be bowl bound.

Agreed! I'll be the first to say Tech has more size and raw talent than we. I will also say there was no reason for us to lose by 40 points. Our team seems to be confused out there. Once again!

I also know Oklahoma had more size and man for man talent than Boise State. The difference is coaching. Coach Bennett seems to be a great guy and is getting better athletes to come to SMU. He, doesn't seem to know what to do with them once they put the jersey on.

3 for 3 in the redzone.
Punting (47 yd avg)
Kicking (3 for 3 from 35-40 yds)

Only two turnovers and no fumbles

2-2 on 4th down conversions

Didn't Chase fumble at the end of the 3rd around the 10. Willis also had a fumble on a scramble that he recovered. And Sanders had a fumble on the first punt in the 1st quarter.... but if we forget about those, then I would agree it would be a bright spot.

I thought DeMyron looked decent in the first half-went back to tippy-toeing a couple of times in second half. Didn't get the ball because of the score-but he did run hard in the first half.

by **tristatecoog** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 8:35 pm

My bad. There was a fumble by Chase. Strike that. Trying to look for silver linings. 3 TOs = not good.

by **J.T.supporta** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 8:37 pm

1 TO = not good...3 TOs = horrible

Very true. In the first half he looked like the DeMyron from the TCU game. The second half looked like last year all over again.
