More way-too-early, knee-jerk reaction:

I can't believe how much of this game plan we put on Austin's arm, even early on.  Someone posted that Miami was selling out to stop the run, and I don't know about that.  I was seeing a lot of push from our OL.

I mentioned that about them selling out against the run.   They were putting 8 or 9 guys in a tight box probably within 10 yards of the LOS, depending on whether or not NT went 2 or 3 wide.   It is hard for the best running teams to run through that.    You can push the DL, but the LB's and Safety are all right there.

The safety was in the box consistently, leaving the WR's all 1 on 1 with no safety help.   They dared us to throw the ball.    An average QB would have shredded that defense.

I am sure that Seth wanted to run the ball.  But, he saw that was just not possible.    But, it is his fault that we don't even have an average QB to take advantage of a huge passing opportunity.
 

Another embarrassing bowl loss.

Will be the most depressing offseason in 30+ years

[untbowler]

Only a 13pt loss due to Miami using mercy when at 5 yd line at 1st and goal

[Ken14]

Why no Torrey today??

[El Paso Eagle]

Embarrassing 

[Professor Lambeau]

Miami OH had not won a bowl game in 11 years.

[rcade]

Every time I see a coach doused in Gatorade I think about how that killed George Allen.

[El Paso Eagle]

Thank you Wren and Seth.

[JRock]

Same ole North Texas. 

[Stan R]

The team reflects the attitude of leadership.  Hence, sluggish, sloppy play today.  No one seemed to care.   SL didn't seem to care either. 

Time for a change.

Seth got his bonuses

Y’all, this is a middling MAC team.

And we abandoned the running offense that got us here, why?   It’s not like Ragsdale/Adeyi/Johnson can’t execute it.  Maybe not as well as Torrey, but our OL was still intact.  I don’t understand.

We already know Ruder is worse. 

Do you trust their evaluation?  I know he looked worse but not much worse.  If given the benefit of that improved running game during that streak who knows?

…

So UTSA and all the other teams we beat down the stretch weren’t doing that?   Boy, don’t they feel stupid!

when looking at the overall record of SL the UTSA win seems like an abberation. The only win over a team that was actually good in that season. The fifth loss in a bowl game likely again by about double digit points seems more in line with what has happened the last 3 seasons.

The question was whether that win was a sign of having figured it out, or a one-off. Looks like a one-off.

Weather helped. UTSA fumbled something like 5 times in the first quarter .

SL is going to give Coach Martin his first non-conference FBS win. $2 million a year for Years 6 &7 of this garbage.

That is f'ing astonishing. Martin has been there since 2014.

Without that weather that game is close.  Also UTSA had clinched their home field in the Championship.  It was big time fun and I paid over $150 to see it in person.  Worth every penny.  But in hindsight if we lost that game Seth is probably gone so a Seth led 2022 Mean Green isn’t worth it imo.   I hope I am wrong.

It's not rocket science. 5 guys can't block eight.

This, they dared us to throw and we couldn’t.  Switch QBs and we win by 3 scores.

This shows us 2 things, our coach can’t solve   the QB room, and coaches in CUSA aren’t that good.

Always the difference in any close game we play. I'm going to be so disappointed if he's coaching next year

Against who again? Miami was much better than anything we saw during that stretch.
