Enjoy the ride, note the improvement, and take SMU in the first half every week.

Please tell me why we fade in second half, if it's not coaching?

Depth

Depth, experience, talent. Do you really need someone to explain that to you?

Why would you fade due to talent?

You fade due to insufficient conditioning.

You get tired in a game, you didn't practice/train hard enough. That is simple.

if you took SMU and got the 23.5 points that this game opened at, it looks like an exciting finish ahead

no "tempo"...up, down, or sideways.

Or if you don't have good enough players in the 2-3 spots on the depth chart to sub out your starters sufficiently without losing production, you fade eventually. That is simple

I hope the offensive line gets more athletic next year.

We won't be beating good teams with Hicks at QB

Hicks has got to work on his accuracy more.

Then your starters need to work harder in practice, out train every body.

He is one of very few mistakes our coach has made.

Our play-calling is lame...a few clever, gimmicky plays but overall unagressive. Maybe it's lack of talent but you have to wonder.

Ben needs to transfer

And get more wear and tear on them throughout the year and burn out. Being the sole focus of scheming also helps

Our team giving up the entire second half isn't a depth issue, just desire.
