They ought to fire Littrell after the game if they lose this. If they can not afford another HC just pick an assistant for HC next year.  Could it be any worse.

Take Bean's play out of the equation, I'm done with him because of the boo boo face he puts on every time he gets benched.  On that touchdown play that just happened, he went moping back to the b

Got to be the most unimpressive win I have ever seen.

Too horrible teams, and based on this game I think UTEP is better.  Playing with a what fourth string QB and NT still can't stop them.  

Darden was worth the view, but this NT team better get a lot better next year.

Would be nice to get a New Mexico bowl invite to see Darden one last time and maybe see him set the single season ncaa record

I think Houston has already accepted one bid for the NM Bowl. Guess we could just make up our game with them there.

Aune could at least be a decent backup. You’re capable of running your full offense with him, the question is just how effective will he be. First time since SMU that he really a solid rushing attack and it looked good. Hopefully Ogunmakin is either far improved or we get in a position where we don’t have to rely on him as much with other guys coming in, some younger guys getting better (Detraveon Brown), plus Shorter back.

Defensively, it’s on Littrell to make the right call. Does Bowen deserve a chance to get a full offseason and spring, or do we just need to go a different direction? Is COVID really a legitimate excuse (probably)? Littrell needs to feel the heat to make the right call.

We having transfers or a new dc? He seems to be in the coaches club

Jordan Rucker was ahead of him before he opted out, Upton Stout was ahead of him when healthy, Gaddie was pushed to safety but is probably back at CB with full health, and we’re getting this guy transferring in

But I agree with you. He’s right there with some of the other guys who seem to never get pulled.

I like the other guys a lot.. Gaddis and stout in particular.  This season especially should have been about getting guys ready for next year and it seemed like dude was married to his guys. The Murphy twins should have seen the field sooner. Where the hell has Taylor at Lb been (#14). I hated the hiring of the dc from the start... and historically bad defense doesn't add any confidence.  Bowden needs to go or SL should put his job on it next season

IMO, Aune could be the current version of Quinn S.
Do I want him to be the starter - NO
Do I feel there is no hope if he has to play - NO

Hopefully we have someone that can step up next year. I agree Aune could be a great backup player, especially with the experience he had this year. Maybe try Bean at WR or kickoff return and use his speed another way. I just don’t see him as a leader OMHO.

So since UTEP was being considered for a bowl, and we beat them, do we get considered?

Seth on the post-game show seemed to be talking like there was a good chance.

Move Bean to Reciever , Austin is a solid backup. Have to get a quality QB transfer or JC. Go to a four man front and give DC another year, that will be a roll of the dice for Seth. If we have another loosing record I think Seth will be gone.

Bean has straight line speed but he can't make people miss.  Not sure he has the tools for WR.  His best spot is probably QB.  Maybe he gets better with another year under his belt.  

 

I'm hoping that another kid from Oklahoma saves us next year.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
