Undefeated when scoring first

Post by Sam I Am »

In the past few years SMU has been undefeated when scoring first and it happened again against Fresno state. The bad news is we always lose if the other team scores first. What's with this inability to make come backs?

We have an inconsistent offense and no ability to go no huddle to help comeback efforts because our HC insists on chatting with the QB after every play.

Could it be a reflection of Fan in the stands Attitude?

Ok trying not to be negative on Christmas so I will temper my response; but what exactly can the fans do to keep us from coming back after the other team scores first???. A perplexing response. Can't you come up with something better than that?

Jones Doe, who are you? Care to reveal yourself?

Fan in the stands? Are you serious? You blame the fans for the team's inability to keep up its morale after the opposing team scores first?

To be fair it is a streak covering both home and road games so he is deflecting the blame to both our fans and our opponents' home fans with that silly question.

He's a moron that's all you need to know. He makes [deleted] threads and can't fill in his own list. I'm all for adding bodies in stands but God please keep this doucher out. Lol

Some of those losses were at away games as well. So fans in the stands would not really be the issue.

It seems to be a confidence thing, which is a coaching thing. It seems we feel the game is over by the end of the first quarter either way. Absurd.

Our defense plays better with a lead and seem to generate turnovers then too
