+ misses throws to open receivers (costed us two TDs last night, one TD last week)

Man you're on fire spewing crap out of your fingers. All this you say about Hicks is bs. Oh yeah lets go with a walk on Conner Simpson....Jeez

Running backs sure didn't do anything to take pressure off the passing game. TCU had a very effective runner.

Braeden West is exactly the wrong type of RB against a Defense like TCU especially with our patch-work OLIne. Looked great against Liberty though

I thought Freeman and Carmouche ran pretty hard between the tackles as big backs.

One huge difference last night was that the OL would actually open a hole. But two yards past the LOS, West would hit a TCU LB and it was a dead stop. Their LBs didn't miss a tackle all night. Our LBs were awful, especially in space. The difference in LB play was huge.

I think if you go back and watch the tape, you will see our OL actually getting their blocks. But nobody at the second level and we didn't make an LB miss a single time.

In the pass game, it wasn't a jail break. He was looking over the field and then would eat the ball and take a sack. He had opportunities to scramble for yards and took sacks or threw bad passes instead. I wouldn't paint this all on the OL even without starters at two positions.
