Nice drive. A whole lot of Atkinson and Lucas and then the curveball with Brewer. Let's hold and get the ball to start the 2nd half

The lack of pressure on Hicks has been baffling
To be fair Hicks hasn't had the ball for more than 3 seconds except maybe 2-3 times. They're running a lot of 3 step drops with him. SMUs line has been pretty good at picking up the extra blitzer and they are sliding well as a unit. Dalton Parks has put SMU in negative field position pretty much every time he has punted.

Still, we have 100 guys on the sideline tonight. Can we not find someone who can put the damn ball in the endzone on a KO?

Fun game. Don't understand our defense. Morris is a great play caller though. Hopefully the o line injuries and freshman quarterback catch up with them in second half and all their players magically heal next week.

Except the ESPN announcers say Morris is not calling the plays.

No wonder people don't want to go to games. They wait until after the TV timeout to start play and call for a review. Seriously, games are long enough as it is. Don't wait for TV to come back.

That SMU cheerleader needs to spend more than $10 on those hair extensions. I'm she she can afford it or find a guy who can. Those look like she bought them on a corner in south Dallas.

Waste a Timeout to avoid delay penalty, then attempt 50+ yard field goal, only to have it blocked and put them in great field position. Monty is a good coach, but still makes some rookie mistakes.

I really hope that whole play up/down to the competition theory is right, because if it isn't, a bowl game is probably out of reach with the way we've played these last two games.

Jones can't hit outside of 45 yards...
Stupid play calling again... You must punt that!

I'll take it over calling time out while on defense three plays into the second half on a 2nd and 8 and then giving up a 76 yard pass play. See generally, Graham, T.G.

Great pass. When you wonder why the officials call things against Tulsa, Atkinson dropping the ball at the feet of the official instead of handing it to him has a little bit to do with it. Better discipline. It's the little things that win games.

Knowing Atkinson he probably would have done it as a joke that the ref was in on. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever seen. Always smiling, but not someone who's full of himself.

Our offensive line is not good on obvious passing downs. Teams are teeing off on Dane and our line doesn't seem to be able to pick up the extra rusher...ever.

SMU slowing it down to let their defense rest. The penalties haven't helped. Time for the defense to focus and the offense to grind.
