What I'd love is to see Boise State and Tulane both run the table and both end up in the playoff. If Colorado can lose one and BYU can lose a couple, I wonder if that opens the door for 2 G5s. "What have you done for me lately?"

Our gain, their loss.

Obviously we all remember Mason Fine but there have been other successful vertically inclined QBs in recent years. D'eriq King of Houston comes to mind considering he was a true dual threat as is Jimmerson. I have zero issue with this guy's height.

He's currently listed at 5'10" on 247 and 5'11" on his Twitter which means he's probably closer to 5'9" or 5'10". That's enough size if the skill and athleticism is there.

I agree. I was shamed weeks ago for pointing out our offense is explosive but inconsistent and therefore not great. It's the truth though and I blame the playcalling in part.

Kind of my point. I want him to succeed but he's just not made much progress if any at all. Why him but not these other kids? There's no way they can't match his production, he's scored zero points this season.

Yet Stone has been playing since he was a true freshman. Nothing against the guy, just wondering what sets him apart from the others like Vice, Cotton, and Mason.

Even if he developed as a college QB, he'd be a true freshman next year. Unless he takes the reigns year 1, he won't start until 2 more years from now which would be 4 years into Eric Morris' tenure with only 1 more year to go so a decision would have to be made on his retention. A 4 year plan in the portal era which possibly won't see that leap until there's 1 year left on the contract seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

Ruthless

Call him Ghost because he disappears under bright lights.

The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.

Seems like at least once per game lately. Maybe I'll scroll through games tomorrow and tally it up.

I'll do you one better. Who goes for it twice on 4th down from their 25 or less in the first half?

We've left 6 points on the board. Take the damn points. Fk.

Clearly all part of the plan. Morris may be smarter than we think!

Why try when we can we can run it up the middle on 3rd and 5?

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt considering our long snapper may be hurt but he's done it regularly so maybe he's just a poor decision maker.

Obviously great to get that big run but I fear it'll be an outlier in this game. Our offense has been stagnant far too much for me to be hopeful.

Hold on that screen catch and run

Not going to blame the QB. Not his fault we called 2 screens.

Just your regularly scheduled 3 and out from the high powered offense.

Without knowing much about boxing, I think the powers will declare Paul the winner. There's a young generation of potential longterm viewers who grew up watching him make YouTube videos and having him beat Tyson brings too many potential viewers for the future of the sport. It's like introducing fast food in public schools in the 80s and 90s. Their future money depends on it.

Tulsa up 31-24 in the 4th after an absolute Mossing of a touchdown catch.

Good thread, thank you.
