I can't add mire after what I saw. Completely outplayed and outcoached. The decision not to onside kick was unacceptable.

June Jones loses to another physical team.

Agree on the onside kick decision.

Thank you for the short post.

Constipated? you need some of JJ's magic elixir- the runs and $h!t$.

onside kick? that would have been asking for a miracle. How about not not wasting 2 minutes of clock time on the previous drive trying to run the ball up the gut? Yeah, i love Zach Line, but at that point you have to throw short passes to stop the clock. if you can't score using the pass in this offense then forget it. June's clock management is like a bad nightmare. Remember the end of the first half at Navy last year? ended up costing us that game.

That's what some of us have been saying for the past 4 years

This is the first game where I was seriously pissed that mcd is still our qb. I'm ready for a new look next season.

I don't ever remember being so upset with KP.

Onside would have been the best option IMO. Even if we did not recover if we stop them once we get the ball back. Either way if we did not stop them once the game was over but an onside kick would have give us another opportunity.

Nah, would rather have 40 yards of field position to aid a one minute last gasp drive than take a 1 in 50 shot at recovering an onsides against a super disciplined Navy team who was expecting it.

another Top Ten, near the top of the pile...

how many times did we stop them 3 and out all day on one series-and we knew they were going to run the ball all game so its not like other situations where you get to overplay the run against a pass first team. Onside Kick was the correct call

Tough to say, if people played their assignments they wouldn't have made that last 1st down.
I didn't pay attention, did we every play 9 men box or 10 man? I think they threw 2x?

That's what I keep thinking after I watch the team this year. Maybe we'll somehow be consistently potent on offense next year...just keep hoping.

Its sad when an offense pretty much runs one play that has three variations and takes them by surprise.... but again I thought the defense played great for most of the game given they had no backup from their offense. Watching us marching all the way down and throwing an interception in the end zone, and throwing another one right after we got the ball from an interception. It was a sickening to watch, but at least the student section I felt did a great job, the Red and Blue yelling seemed like it had alot of spirit. Lets hope they can show up (offense, JJMcD) and win our last home game against Rice. I hope the BE isnt like gulp on their decision, but I think with our new recruit we have a bright future.

Also, its kind of scary when I see classmates and underclassmen posting status saying that bummer on our last home game... I have a bad feeling about the Rice game at home. I mean the other crappy part is that its Thanksgiving Weekend....
