Especially since his 1 star QB can't hit the damn thing. Bet he hits in practice though.

Plenty of blame to go around, no need for one side to hog it all


No, the play calling lost this game.



The players aren't blameless. Coaching alone did not lose this game. Bottom line is we have a staff and roster full of scrubs and no one a blind person would dispute that.

No no no, it's all the receivers fault, and June's fault, and the o-line's fault and Mack Brown's fault and Greg Davis' fault and am I missing anyone?

Why would the defense have shut them down on the 2 when they went 68 yards in less than a minute?



Those extra 30 yards could have made a difference, we'll never know.


You're right, we won't, but the assumption that we would have automatically shut them down if we didn't make it is a little short-sighted.

That said, we still should have gone for it.

WHO THE F*CK RUNS A FADE ROUTE ON 2ND AND GOAL WITH A TOP 5 RB IN THE COUNTRY AND THE OPPOSING DEFENSE IS COMPLETELY GASSED

GG is a great kid and everyone wants him to succeed but the truth is he is what he is and yes he does throw a nice ball (sometimes) but there is not a real improvement over his complete lack of consistancy (same probelm he had at Texas). JJ tries to give him silly opportunities to privide some posititive stats and validate his unwavering support for Gilbert. In addition JJ is limited by his own lack of confidence in GG and that effects his play calling in certain circumstances IMO.

This loss isn't on GG or any player. Completely on June and the play calling.


Did not say it was. But G2 for whatever reason does not appear to be capable of playing at this level. The pathetic playing calling from his coach does not help
GO MUSTANGS!
