That would be a smart move, we can't handle the no-huddle at all. McD is going to have to step up his play even more because we might be in a quite a few shootouts.

Never expected to be 4-1 at this point in the season. 3-2 would a=have ben expected and accepted. But beating a top 20 team and going into our conference schedule at 2-0 is really great. Maybe this team really is as good as its pre season hype.

You'd think Mason would have figured out by now that dropping 8 back in coverage doesn't work against teams that aren't terrible. As for Jones, his teams have never known how to eat up clock sans the Tulsa game last year.

Very few run the no huddle as smooth and as fast as the Frogs. So no dice for most teams.

Agreed. That comeback by TCU isn't our players' faults. That's all on playcalling.

Unfortunately I think our top 10 defense will drop out of the top 10. But I will take it

Not every team will run a no huddle. Had TCU huddled on 4th down in OT they might have executed better than rushing their play. It can hurt you if you do not do it all the time. But yes, we do have to learn to play better against it.

See what happens when you don't lose the turnover game.

Considering we do not have a ball control offense (TCU had much longer possession than we), and the 4th quarter aside, I think if our defense can improve in hurry up situations it is as good as anything I have seen in CUSA. That might put us at the front of the pack.

A three man rush and not pressure on the QB makes any yahoo QB a Heisman candidate. The 4th quarter we just didn't pressure the QB and hopefully lesson learned.
