Yep. And we're recruiting well.... in high school. Everyone else is riding the new wave of transfer football, and it's showing results 

LT is playing 11 different transfers on offensive rotation

[Professor Lambeau]

Team is showing some fight.

[UNTLifer]

My HSO’s:

1.  In an attempt to hold onto Bloesch, Littrell gave him the OC title as well as his duties as OL Coach. The result, the OL has suffered and our play calling is not good.   Bloesch needs to focus on the OL.
 

2.  Our WR’s have not been developed since Filani left. Darden was self motivated and an incredible talent. 
 

3.  We need a true QB Coach. Ruder looks the part physically, but he panics and his mechanics are poor. He came from a small school in Kansas and probably got by on athletic ability. He needs to be developed by a competent QB Coach. Not sure about Joseph, but the early returns are not promising. Ruder should have gotten to campus earlier as well. I feel like we have rushed him Into thr starting position. 
 

4. There is a lack of creativity in our play calling.  Too predictable in our run game and we try to go for the home run ball too much.  Is this Bloesch, see above, or SL's offense?  It is time to open up the playbook and "Let It Fly".

Aune should be the starter.  He's not near perfect, but he makes more plays and his short game is better.  

 

[rcade]

Aune's running is starting to open things up a bit. I may cry.

Exactly

Where is Isaiah Johnson?

I believe they said he was banged up at the beginning of the game

[UNTLifer]

Poor effort by Ragsdale.  A score on that last drive gets us back in the game.

I want to see Keith Jackson. I would also like to see Caleb Johnson. We need playmakers on the field and kids that show effort. Simpson should have caught that deep ball, but there didn’t appear to be much “want to” on his part.

Quad injury

[Stix]

The Stadium commercial break "music" sounds just enough like "The Safety Dance" 

[CaribbeanGreen]

Ragsdale looks great running the ball, but apparently can't catch

I hate it so much.  I have never heard it except when we are getting our backsides handed to us.

[Cerebus]

Defensive rush has been getting close for a while, finally forces a sack/fumble. 

[akriesman]

Catch the DAMN ball

[CaribbeanGreen]

Bryson Jackson shouldn't see the field again this year. Period. 

[L Ron Studdard]

Jackson is so incredibly bad.

[GrandGreen]

Aune is not great, but it would help a lot if NT had some receivers who could catch the ball. 

[greeneagle1]

So much “talent”. So little results.

Yeah, this ain't on Aune. We're outgaining them. Our WRs are so impossibly awful

[akriesman]

Our WRs (not injured) get no real separation and can’t make difficult catches (and sometimes easy ones)

 

I appreciate the fight the team is showing.    But damn, They could be back in this ball game is not for critical drops.

Why not let KM have a series or two? Afraid we might break our not scoring streak?
