1. We finally forced a turnover
2. We scored more points than last season's game
3. We lost by a lower margin than last season's game
4. We get TCU next week and can go into conference 2-2. This the real silver lining, our season has not been defined yet, next 2 games will.

Well, I don't really want your left nut as I am kinda partial to the one we have, but I believe we will play TCU tough and have opportunities to win as long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties. Think about the Tech game if we had eliminated penalties..could be 2-1.

OLine actually gave Gilbert a fair amount of time to throw.

Why would TCU "define" our season any more than Tech or A&M? Are we counting on that game to get to a 6-win bowl? If so, LOL!

Momentum going into conference and into an easier part of our schedule.

GG has to be pissed the WR are so awful. I feel bad for him b/c he seemingly has nothing to work with.

They didn't stop the defense from batting the ball because they were already losing the line battle.

What saddens me the most is how we seemed to be playing with no confidence and no expectation of winning. I do believe the staff is failing the team this year. Glad to see GG picking it up. And of course for us sunshiners the season isn't over, though for many fans it is. It's just the hope for a turnaround is fading with our lackluster play.

Wasn't the interception on a tipped ball?
