I wondered why they did not move Rico around? He pretty much lined up outside and ran long routes all game long. 

I’m no offensive expert but I would of thought they would of put our best WR in a position to succeed

This was a classic case of Premature Gloat. The coaches believed the hype that leaked down to the players. 

From the first series on..... they looked out of sorts. The mental preparation for game day is a continuing problem with SL and his team when playing big away games. 

Reality Check for SL and company. This team can do better.

Nick Harvey needs to sit down.  Sorry, he just does.

Mason looked as rattled as I have seen him since his freshman year. 

Our O-line got their asses whipped

Reeder was supposed to bring tempo and creativity.  I saw neither.  We looked like we were afraid to throw deep and ran the same ground game repetitively.

When it is clear your defense is getting overwhelmed then EVERY trip into the red zone is 4 down territory.  Field goals are a give up.  Get seven or give them the ball back deep in their end of the field. 

SMU is far from the best team we will face this year, and if anything they are pretty much just average. The issue is, every time we go to Ford Stadium we make them look like they are all stars.

SMU beat Houston last year. Not by a little. It pains me to say this, but they are better than average. We are looking at being 1-3 going into the Houston game unless this team finds itself.

Normally I wouldn’t be too concerned with the offense not firing on all cylinders. But it’s clear we have literally no room for error. The defense will get punched in the mouth, allow 3 or 4 big scoring drives, and maaaaaybe the O will start moving the ball. 

It’s a recipe for a long disastrous season. Houston is going to absolutely destroy us if things don’t change.

You’re correct, they beat Houston by 14.  

And then beat that juggernaut Connecticut by 12.  And then lost to Memphis and Tulsa to close out the season.

Again - better than average. Right now, I am concerned about UTSA. We have guys that are not doing the big and little things at their positions.

If they are going to play two deep with straight up man underneath, you need to run shallow crossing routes.  We ran zero of those. Yes, brothers this so true. second, both corners are too slow, look over your shoulder for god sake! A redshirt freshman with speed would be better than these guys. Stiggers is a beast, future looks bright for him!

It is really simple I told Harry last week

We don't have a OL, and that kills everything else.

We don't have an DL either.

Both are small and need lots of help.

Fine is again running for his life most of the time. No QB can perform well in that situation. Hell  the line we looked small against AC. 

The  measure of most games will start with our lines. SMU was rushing only three mean at times and still getting a push and just a 4 man rush looked like they were bringing the house on our OL at times. 

Worst of all I do know how you fix this.

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!

      I appreciate that he obviously keeps track of the dialogue from this board. And I appreciate that he named the very concerns posted by many of us and owned those issues. But, I'm troubled that he could not state a plan to address our problems, other than to say, "we have to do better". That is what Littrell used to say. Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving. Let just be thankful for what we have and enjoy our basketball team playing in primetime tonight.
