I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

Came here to make a similar post. This team is an FAU collapse away from not being bowl eligible. They should be 4-7 right now. The passing attack that is statistically great has had a lot of help from being down late in games when teams are playing prevent/soft coverages for big plays. We’re probably going to lose Chandler Morris in the portal and we’ll be in a worse spot next year. This is insanity.

People who are downvoting firing Morris please make your argument. I really want to hear you out.

We cannot be ok with this. Heads gotta roll.

Cool. Everyone ok with firing Morris? Unacceptable.

Cool. So IF they continue choking this game away and after last weeks blowout loss I’m ready to fire Morris. This team is falling apart with adversity and that’s a reflection on coaching. We can NOT be ok with this if we want to have a good program one day.

Second TOD with a 4th and short. Morris doesn’t trust the defense but now we can’t trust the offense either.

Only saw the play once but it looked like Harris lost forward motion. Initially surprised they didn’t call it dead in the backfield. Either way, defense stopped playing and that was awful.

Unless there’s something else at work here… (second like has a puzzle piece) https://x.com/northtexaseagle/status/1860357703765205111

Gonna be honest: I’m not aware how great either player was. I remember hearing the name Blair and seeing some comments that his injuries have really hurt us this year. A big concern going forward is how this impacts keeping the likes of QB Morris around. Dude will not want to play his senior year behind an even thinner O-line.

Working in the medical field has caused me to frequently misspell “bowel” and “bowl”. Normally I catch it, but not today. 💩

Fair point and the UTSA loss was also unacceptable. That’s true. What’s also true is 2-3 more wins is an improvement for any program. What would be awful though is if we drew Tx State in a bowl and lost.

I know the second half of this year has been really disappointing but dang- we shouldn’t hope for losing to avoid a bowel game. Before the start of the season everyone would’ve been happy with more W’s. It shows improvement. It shows we’re building something and gives the coaches evidence for when they talk to recruits. Win out and win whatever bowl game, 8-5 might convince some transfers/recruits that could really help turn this team into something next year.

Dude isn’t going to have an arm after this season. I swear I’ve seen him come off the field like 3 separate times holding it like it’s broken.

Pretty much what the two comments above are saying: It’s a strong possibility that he’s got a case of hero ball. “I need to play amazing for us to win” mentality. Mistakes avalanche and instead of relaxing, you tighten up and are harder on yourself. Obviously that’s total conjecture based on my personal experience in sports. We all know he’s great and wants to win. Could totally be a nagging injury too, who knows. Hope he sticks around for another season with an experienced OL and a more consistent D. That’d be a treat to watch.
