On-field leadership. Who is our offensive leader? CW's body language was horrible the entire game. In games like this, someone has to step up and say "follow me". CW isn't it. Our recievers cannot get open. We need a true running QB that can open things up. Give Reed or Henderson a chance to give a spark to this offense. CW moping around and puking wont inspire much confidence.

This segment sounded like excuse after excuse for Conner


Yea, obviously everyone had a hand in the loss.


But the supposed all world, future superstar looked like an 8th grade b team quarterback


Play Marcel Reed

Blaming culture of Jimbo (prior 2 years)? Defense played well enough to win but we looked like **** on the offensive side of the ball - end of story .
I know NOTHING!!!!

The fans are pissed off and frustrated because we were fed a bunch of bs about this team.

We were told we had an elite d-line. What we saw in reality were no sacks and around 200 yards of rushing and a line that couldn't stop the run with the game on the line.

We were told Collin Klein was some kind of offensive genius. What we saw in reality was no down field passing, no utilization of the tight ends and just generally uninspired play calling and execution. Jimbo's offense looked more creative.

We were told our QB was looking great and might be a first round pick. What we saw in reality was one of the worst QB performances in Kyle Field history. The QB played scared and could not
hit the side of the barn all night. When we needed him to step up, he disappeared.

We were told that the new S&C coach had gotten this team in peak mental and physical shape.
What we saw in reality was a team that wilted and was physically worn out and whipped on the key drive of the game.

Please stop with the "but we played them close" crap. The offense played like **** all night long and the defense couldn't get the job done when they needed to.

Thank you for the, "but we played them close"! As one who has actually thrown live hand grenades, as the old saying goes, close only counts with horse shoes and hand grenades!!!! Is true!!!! When the game clock clicks down to 0 in the 4th quarter. Check out the scoreboard, that is the bottom line!!!!!!!
