Hell no, I’d start Ruder over Gunnell after what I saw tonight.

Ruder had his chance to start. Gunnell deserves a full game before we pass judgement.

[Cr1028]

For perspective UTEP played OU closer than we played SMUg

[Wag Tag]

We better hope SMU moves to another conference! The talent difference is huge and with the $36k NIL money it will only improve for SMU.

That full game shouldn’t be against FCS then. Aune makes bad throws sometimes for sure but some of Gunnell’s throws looked like he was out there as a gag. Like he missed 10 yard passes by car lengths, it was very, very odd.

[Eagle71]

When your LBs are faster than your DBs you have a problem.  Or so it would seem.  Our offense should be able to win 4 games this year, but I'm not sure the defense can win another two.  QB room should be interesting this week.

I didn't get to pay attention to the first half since I hurt my hand during tailgate. Thank God for the little miracles. 

 

The second half I just tuned out.

So I guess we have an idea why Gunnell didn’t start.

You really expected him to come in and be great in his first game in years?

Not to mention with wrs that were generally covered and an offensive line that was going through the motions.

It shouldn't but it's the perfect chance to get him acclimated with actual gametime and to gain confidence leading into game 4 of the season. 

And I'm sorry but he missed 1 bad throw in the end zone. His first throw went at the feet but it was the first throw. Aune does the same after 3 years. Second throw, our receiver got tackled before the ball got there. Hit a guy for 33 yards, then the other was a screen. Hard to make an assessment with that. Ruder got 2 games and the start of a third. Gunnell should get at least the same.

I would’ve expected his throws to be in the ballpark at least. They were so bad they make Aune’s bad throws look less bad. Also, does Aune get the same pass for covered receivers or is that just reserved for backup quarterbacks under the age of 25?

Earle was supposedly running behind Aune until Gunnell jumped him in reps at the first scrimmage according to the 247 guy in a podcast with Brune.   Earle had a much higher completion percentage against SMU last year with an awful O-line and D2 receivers.  I’d love to see him get some time.

This.

Dude looks like he’s playing at the wrong level.

[Cr1028]

If Gunnell starts the next game we are plying for next season and Wren should already have a deal in place for the next coach because we are screwed.

I’d prefer this to Gunnell, I truly would.

I'd be ok with this. It just needs to be somebody else. We've seen Aune. I'd rather have a losing season trying different guys out than trotting out the same guy.

Me watching the game.

I told my wife when it was 38-10, “I hope SMU is really good.”  Maybe they are.

While it was ugly, we had our chances to keep it close.  Inside the 5 twice and get points, plus a blocked field goal.  
 

After Gunnell’s first pass, my comment was, “I see why Aune is starting.”

Adaway is very good.

Dear God y'all haven't seen any of Gunnell's Arizona play. It's his first game in over a year. 15 TDs to 3 Interceptions in the Pac 12 on 66% completion percentage says he's not at the wrong level but OK. And remember he was a true freshman and a true sophomore during a covid shortened season. He lacks experience but he has the talent to play at this level.

Pregame fight?

[Got5onIt]

QB play was awful, DL play was bad, DBs got torched. OL was mediocre. Not a good game all around.

Can’t wait to see y’all blame Aune for that “pick” that Roberts vomited away

It's a playcall that says "we don't trust our QB when it counts except what amounts to a long handoff"  no the INT isn't on Aune.  But they weren't going to score if it was completed anyway.  And on 3rd down down by 3 TD's I don't like the playcall.

Maybe so, I will admit this was my first time seeing him. He didn’t make a good first impression. 
 

But maybe next week against Texas Southern will show something different?

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Random Mean Green person stops me mid aisle at Buccee's Denton looking mad as hell and tells me his son is a player and expresses his disappoinment.  He then tells me that according to his son, all the players dislike the coaching staff and say they have no energy. 

No idea who this guy's son is, but I believe every word he said.

At least the Lovelace Family likes Littrell!

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

SMU fans made numerous observations about how they knew our run was coming because it was obvious we don’t trust our passing game. Pretty one dimensional offense from our “offensive guru”

I didn't say a thing about Aune in this game.  

I was just responded to your criticism of a QB who has not thrown in a game in years. 

The QB play for NT was bad, but so was everything else with a few exceptions.  I did think the rbs ran hard and Addaway actually had a good game.
