Watch for the fake. If I'm Bret B. I dont mind turning it over on downs and giving us 90+ to cover.

Definitely thought the same. Now maybe we get a KO return for a TD?!?!?!
Guys calm down this game has like four more possessions left at least
I'm just gonna throw this out and say play BOE in the bowl game. What an implosion by Stone
You may be wrong. You may be right.
Hard to know in this new era of NIL and transfers. Call me a lunatic.
Ever since Stone threw that INT that he got back, he has been performing very poorly. He needs to get out of his head, It has to be completely mental.
Definitely. He had all day to throw. Don't think Bryant ever got that much protection.
A mediocre QB on a mediocre team. It is what it is. At least we get a bowl game out of this season.
Interesting thought...my friend who is watching casually just asked "is Boe anything to look forward to next year?"
Let's just give him the bowl game, especially if we're in Detroit. No one's watching. Thank you for your service, Stone.
That wasn’t a funny way to lose, that was just by the book. The only amusing twist to that was it was a well thrown ball right to the hands of Very Good Hunter Welcing and he let it go right through then for an INT that was ironically not Stone’s fault
That pick on 84. Hit him in the hands. Stone has not been good but we have had some critical drops.
Haha. What a ridiculous game. I was trying to think of all the stupid things that happened, and I couldn’t.
Not Stone’s fault, that one. Just badness to go all around. So disappointing to put this effort out on the field in a rivalry.
The first half interception was the same and led to a touchdown, which is the difference in this game. Stone hasn't been good today but the game is totally different if the receivers come down with those catches.
Stone threw into triple coverage. He just locks onto his primary and that's it.
I figured it out during the commercial: that INT being overturned and then Stone immediately throwing a bad INT the next play
First half one was **** luck and not in Covey with the tip. That second one was squarely on Welcing, who has been a mensch for us
And just as much by his receivers. Why woulda guy want to be a receiver when he can't catch
I'm with Sheffielder. Start Boe in the Detroit Bowl. Get him some full game reps and let's see what he can do. Oh, and anyone but Lujan can / should wear the OC hat.
