To say the offensive line is not doing their job would be an understatement.

Shame on u.  Negativity!

Um . . . it may be time to accept the fact that we just aren't a very good team this year.  We got really inspired and beat a bunch of bad teams early in the year.  Now we aren't inspired, and we are struggling with even the dregs of division 1.

Team is playing like they have nothing left to play for this year. Such a joke...

[edcollopy]

The second half or every game is starting to look like the same offensive abortion. Screens, quick slants, quick fades...do something to deal with our shitty oline

[RBTX]

Finally getting Fine some time to throw.

Man, you took a lot of leaps in logic to come to that conclusion.  The oline has clearly regressed and the play calling has been awful in the second half since we started conference play, but to say that we aren't very good is just baseless.

Smith must somehow be in the doghouse.

Character and maturity.   This team is lacking in both.

I'm not saying it's an awful team.  But, when "the oline has clearly regressed," that could possibly result in a team that just isn't very good anymore.

Sorry. Hey, if we lose we’ll still be 6-3 and should be proud of our record!

The defense is still playing lights out for the most part, especially since they've been playing most of this game.  Hopefully the bye week will help them get the offense back on track, because they need some help.

Arkansas lost by 2 touchdowns to Vanderbilt today... They just arent that good, and neither are we from what I'm watching today.

We'll be lucky to beat UTSA at this rate.

[peanuts104]

Rice is killing us in time of possession right now

[Ken14]

Gosh I hope not

 

[outoftown]

I wonder how much of that is because NT Plays a QB who is not 100%. I am still coming back to Littrell keeping Fine in on the LaTech game. I doubt Fine has gotten back to 100% and it just means that with the OL being horrible, he can't just evade as much, he cant run as often as he would. It means Ds spend less attention on spying etc. The consequence is more pressure and the OL doesn^t have the quality to handle it.

Still super angry at Littrel doing that in the LaTech game.

LOW HIT YOU DIRTY BASTARDS

[peanuts104]

Mike Law hell yeah!

[outoftown]

And this drive ends well. Fine to Torrey for I think 12 yards. 

NT 27, Rice 17 9:27 left in the game.

The drive included a pretty long pass to Law, and a first down designed QB run by Fine.

It all started in the LaTech game.  We got a "big head" from all the media attention prior to that game.  Not being accustomed to it, it came back to bite us. During that game, we witnessed it and it has since spiraled into a regressive lack of team focus.

Hank and Dave keep saying he is banged up and out this week

[NorthTexan95]

I guess we know Rice's defensive plan.   Hit the quarterback at every opportunity even when it's late.   They seem glad to trade 15 yards for a late hit on Fine.
