this is a must. I think a 2-2 start was hopeful, but a 1-3 start is likely. And, despite a 52.0 victor, it is very possible that we could have gone 0-4. We have not been competitive on offense at all. Either we can't recruit,or we can't coach......or both. Going to be a long disappointing season.

There's no way that's going to happen. The only hope I have is that maybe something amazing might happen with a bye week.

All 24 TCU starters are suspended?

We all thought 1-3 was very likely, but I don't think anyone expected us to look like we were going back 5 years ago to JJ's 1 win first season. We look absolutely horrible and there are no positives outside of zach line and dieter IMO

I really thought we would have been competitive with the Baylor and A&M's of the world by now. Disappointing does not even begin to describe how I feel.

Overall, the team is about at the talent level of a Mike Cavan coached team from his 3rd or 4th season, with the exception of Hunt and Zach Line.

I love Margus, but either he is not healthy or teams are double teaming him, he has been a NON factor in the first 3 games, 5 tackles on the season ain't goin to get it, albeit he is extraordinary on blocking kicks, just not sure about an every down defensive line guy. NFL should draft him just on his raw strength and long frame

I just don't know. Our defense was looking good. Gotta give them credit for that. I just feel though, that one can't expect the defense to perform great unless they get rest. And our SMU offense never gave our SMU defense a chance to do that.
Where are the issues in the offense? Not 100% sure. However, my gut tells me bad communication and synergy between the receiving core and Gilbert.
