Phil Bennett is a godsend. He and the defense are the only reason we are in this game.

Maybe because we’re 20 something point underdogs….

Looking at the product on the field we're not 20 pt dogs... we should be up 14-0 AT LEAST

[p_phelps]

0-10 on 3rd and 4th down conversions. Absolutely unacceptable

The way Ruder has played, that was the right call. 

Truth hurts here Lifer. 😢

I wanted to wait on Ruder and see if the accuracy issues from last week would be improved before saying give Aune a shot, but he has thrown some very bad passes. Some should have been caught, but he made them hard catches to make. I thought Aune was more accurate last week. Whether we change now I don't know, but I don't think he can play any worse.

All the Ruder simps are buttmad at me and I love it.

[TheColonyEagle]

I think a lot of us are just frustrated that we didn’t take advantage more. I’m still probably a little shell shocked at how fast SMU has scored on us in the past. We gave up 2 big plays for TD last week and 1 today. We can slug and slog our way through this and they can win the game with 1 or 2 plays in about 10 seconds. 
 

Would’ve liked to get the ball deep a little more. We’re also giving them great field position. Feels like The dam could break eventually. 

[MeanGreenTexan]

Need to get the ball in Torrey’s hands more on offense.

Defense, keep it up!

[Matt from A700]

The defense is going to have to start returning turnovers for touchdowns.

SMU has obviously decided they’re not going to let Torrey beat them

12 carries for 54 yards isn’t bad, but we need more RPO’s with Ruder or Aune keeping. That would keep their defense honest. 

[jbchis]

Can a QB become accurate after halftime?  I would rather let the 2 compete for the job and the winner gets the conference starts.  Ruder does not look any better thru a game and a half from what I have seen from Aune last year

[TheColonyEagle]

What a great series by the D. 

[untbowler]

nice first defensive series to open the half

[Matt]

Please never let Phil Bennett go

Yeah. That was a sneaky 54 yards. If Ruder could complete a few more passes down field might get Torrey to break one 

[untbowler]

0/10 on 3rd downs, 3rd -1 should be automatic. SMDH!!

[GreenN'walinsVet]

I dont think i have ever seen so many flags picked up in one game...

[untbowler]

what the hell is with these officials consistently taking back flags that would be against SMU??

[TheColonyEagle]

Man these refs just throw flags to be sure. Then pick it up. 

[p_phelps]

Glad to see the offense didn't miss a beat coming into 2nd half

[UNTLifer]

Who is this commentator?  He is horrible. Almost as bad as our punter. 

[Matt]

What the hell are these refs doing? Are they waiting for permission on whether they can flag SMU or not?

[Rudy]

Lol. I don't think I've ever seen so many flags waved off and random ref Huddles only to say there's no foul.  It actually looks really bad. 

[Gibbz]

Same SL third and short shotgun handoff as always.
