Agreed.


He's been calling for this all night and he's been right all night. Interesting that our coaches don't see it.

we continue to get less points out of drives that get to the ten or closer than anyone in the country. Really have to ask our coaches to come up with some better ideas in the red zone.

so, not tonight...

I've had that happen ever since I enrolled at the Hilltop. There are some things that, thankfully, still hurt. This is one of them...again.

Ok sorry but two groups to blame: special teams and offensive coordinator play calling. WE CANT GO UP THE MIDDLE!! For the love of God, very questionable play calling. Also I would have never sent this to OT, 'or enough faith in the team nor on the road game. You are so close: do slant route to Sutton (the only one that can catch) and we could have won. I was already getting the Balcones Single Malt whiskey when I saw the FG unit out.

While Tulsa defense isn't good, I have to credit where credit is due: Ben Hicks looked better than before and had better reads except toward the end where we got lucky.

Much improvement however. After getting over the initial emotion reflect on the improvement and remember this was going to be a long year from the start even with Davis healthy. I am hurting but optimistic for the future.

We played much better than I expected. Hicks was great. Can already see him improving.

improvement - QB, Defense, particularly the line.
Still needs lots of work - kick coverage, linebackers and receivers not named sutton.

That was a lot of fun until the last play. Maybe this will keep the whiners at bay for a few weeks.

And let him play not fully at 100% because of nagging injuries? I'd rather Carmouche
