Worst bowl performance I have seen in Fitzgeralds tenure. This isnt a situation where the other team has far more talent.
Doesn't really make a y difference. With no pass rush and CB' s playing so loose. Most P5 QBs could put up numbers. I wonder what CT could do against the defense we are playing tonight.
What happened to us? Ok the secondary is really thin but our OL is doing nothing, our DL is getting no pressure and we just look completely lost.
It’s really been since the Ioa game to be honest. We covered very poorly against Minny and gave up a ton of passing yards against Illinois. We just won those games because we outplayed the competition. Then we got smoked by OSU’s passing game, totally smoked.
And now we’re getting totally blown off both sides of the ball. We look horrendous, unprepared and outmanned.

Hey, they had a really nice tour of an aircraft carrier. Maybe even went to Sea World. Are you not entertained?
I know running the ball has been big for us in the second of the year AND we have our top 2 WR’s out with injuries, but if we have any chance, it’s going to have to be through the air. Reminds me a lot of MSU game with how little running success we are having. Utah can play some run defense.
I know Fitz has to do it to keep up the defense's morale, but it's not a good look to fist pump after holding Utah to a made FG. Especially after uninventive playcalling cost NU a shot at a TD in the previous drive.
Yes it is. They are more athletic and better at just about every position. Even their kicker is an All-American for crying out loud. This is a good Utah team playing without three of their best players. Now, we are totally depleted, so that doesn't help matters. But they are better than us. We need to recruit more athletes and less student body presidents if we want to play top 20 style football.
McCall wont be fired. If Fitz takes the opportunity in GB, thats the only way McCall is exercised. I doubt anyone picks him up, maybe Cushing.
They’ve missed like 10 clear holding calls, on top of this game being god awful.
Our defense is literally designed to prevent TDs. A FG in that situation is a win as long as the offense can do its job.
You know they ran that several times this year successfully.....Iowa, Minny and Illinois come to mind.
Guess the McGee at linebacker experiment is over or did he get hurt
