Makes it worse that Herman gets the win; complete and total D!ck! But it must be said, he certainly married up!
Had a chance to steal it at the end , but we did not play well enough to win , I think we start Braxton next game
Braxton played well, our receivers dropped some catchable balls. We lost a game we should have won tonight.
I believe the plan was to start him vs Rice anyway
Terrible clock management to end 1st half may have cost the game. Or waiting so long to put Braxton in
Receivers dropped three crucial 3 rd down catchable balls, two when rain not a factor.
I stand totally down from my earlier endorsement of Williams for this game, he should have been pulled during the 2nd quarter.
I agree that the clock management at the end of the first could have been better but that alone didnt cost us. There were a lot of things that cost us this game. Mother nature was one of them.
Nothing was going right with the offense in the first half. He clearly didn't trust what was happening on the field. All we needed was another turnover before half to put the nail in the coffin a bit earlier.
Nobody gives a
oop2:if we covered.
I also think the weather changing impacted halftime adjustments. I was concerned when Braxton came in because a soaked field is a challenge for planting and re-injuring an ankle. Glad he is okay provided a good spark.
He had a few big runs and one (that's one) good pass for the TD. He was off on all the others, his delivery looks like he is doing the shot put. But that is to be expected with the rust of 4 weeks to shake off.
This should have been a win. If they miss a bowl game they can look to this game as a missed opportunity.
Four wins left on our schedule. Let's hope we can corral at least 3 more.
If we just win the games that are at home then we go bowling.
I am hoping Braxton's return will give the team significant positive momentum.
I figure SMU and Tulane, unless we really put a game together against one of them. And East Carolina will be a tough road game. That one is up in the air. Those are the three I see as the tougher games. But we could beat one of them, and lose one of our easier games. That's why I don't get up in arms about a game we should have won going south. The season can change on a dime as far as getting to 6 wins.
