All I've read about this year's D being more opportunistic...I'd say it's critical they get us the ball back on A$M's 1st possession. Need a complete reversal of that 1st quarter to get back in this.

crazy talk. You dont give up on a starter after the first 2 possessions. None of our guys have ever played in a place like Kyle Field, and that includes Padron. Let him settle down. McDermotts was ok decision wise but erratic throwing wise too.

Could not agree more. You'd think we had just been sent to 1-AA. Let's hold off a bit and chill. I'm really pissed but it's not like the season's over if we lose.

Disappointing half, maybe we can make some kind of adjustment on D. Aggies are good. I think they thought we would come out throwing and that fooled them a little. I would like to see some slants and short passes to try to keep LB's honest. Maybe that will open up running game again.
Let's don't give up on the season after one half.

The D hasn't gotten off the bus yet. I would put Padron back in. He has had a wake up call. Give the experienced QB a chance. Besides, JJ stuck with BLM forever and ever. Give Padron a chance.

and before everyone goes to look for a long piece of rope... we are playing the number 8 team in the country, at one of the hardest places to play in the country. We aren't going to have too many games like this.
and Zach Line has been a complete freak.

19 point deficit needs to be erased quickly. Defense needs to make a sack and get the ball back

Time for Mason to start taking some big risks, if we get beat we get beat better than letting them eat up clock while we drop 7-8 back in coverage.

No- it's not like our season is over. But chances of moving up to an AQ conference likely are after this performance. It will just reinforce those opinions that we don't belong with the big boys. We need to turn the second half into our game if we want to move up. JMHO

I heard UTSA is taking fans if you are looking to jump ship, this half wont be for the faint of heart. SMU vs #8 in the country. 2nd half starts now!
