Wow. We DO look tired. Like we’re totally spent. Is the elevation doing that to us? We can’t even wrap up 

A 4K shift in elevation is rough. Spent a week in Manitou Springs once. It took 3 days just to start to feel normal. The first 12 hours were /really/ awkward.

 

that being said, I think this is much more than an elevation problem

[Salsa_Verde]

A thorough beating in every facet of the game. So disappointed that we can’t even be competitive in bowls games 

[Felozano]

Let’s go D!  Time to step up!

[Mean Green Fan4Life]

Have we won a game this season against a team with a winning record?

[TheColonyEagle]

We are SOOOOOOOO much slower than them 

[akriesman]

1) Utah State is good

2) Bad snaps are killing them.

3) Mason Fine is hurt

4) Altitude is already wearing out the D.

It's going to be a long game.

Would like to see backup center and third string QB at this point.

I think we are all quickly aproaching that point. Assuming the coaches are also

Center needs to sit the bench. 1 bad snap can happen, but 3 in 2 quarters is embarrassing...

Our backup is a walkon

[outoftown]

Its not just the DL on defense. It is also absolutely getting owned in open field blocks.

[Christopher Walker]

Pride before the fall.

We're going to ODU 'em, right?  I mean there's at least a chance.

[Matt from A700]

Embarrassing.

Zero chance

[MeanGreen22]

At this point, if Mason can’t go, just play Bean or Martin?

[Mean Green Fan4Life]

That TD was embarrassing.  We look horrible.  The team has responded poorly to the coaching turmoil.  Talk of looking for other coaching opportunities doesn't sit well with those that you leave behind.  We look apathetic.  

[untjim1995]

Welp...

[EastTexasMG]

No more Shanbour....

[ghost_of_darrell_dickey]

At least we can say the Utah State is objectively a better team. Not like losing to a Sunbelt team. 

[97and03]

I am done 

[UNTLifer]

Good Lord

[UNTexas]

Portland State debacle might have a rival.

Yeah, the altitude the factor. But that ain't it. 

This is one of the big reasons this was the last bowl game a lot of us wanted. USU is just a way better team. Period. Whatever wrinkle you put in, whatever you try to call, you're outgunned. It's a big hill to climb. So it's the bowl game in the worst possible time slot against the worst possible kind of opponent - a no name (to the casual fan) who's really effing good. Two years in a row all of that applies. 

Oh, add to that the fact that in a season you lost your best RB, your best WR can't go and your absolute MVP QB goes down? That's a recipe. 

[RiseUNT]

We have them right where we want them.

[NorthTexan95]

Wonder if we would see another QB other than Fine or Shanbor in this game? 

[Harry]

Oh no
