Aune better not see the field again this season

UNT Texas Hooligan · October 22, 2022

He will and we will continually be disappointed the rest of the season

CaribbeanGreen · October 22, 2022

This thread has to be a bit. Blame the QB who threw for 325 and 3 TDs, not the O line and running game who managed 22 yards, not the defense that couldn't get a stop or even slow the opponent down when it mattered.... no, blame the QB. My God man, maybe football ain't your thing. #GMG

I must have seen a different game. I saw a quarterback that passed for ALL of the touchdowns the team scored, 325 yards, and an amazing 21.6 yards per catch! And, this quarterback gave a lead to the defense with under 2 minutes to go and UTSA had NO time outs. Aune obviously did NOT lose the game.

That’s the game a normal person would have seen. Don’t worry that’s the game fans and recruits and local people saw. A great effort. Even though it was on stadium and not ESPN plus.

I don't give a flying fvck about the stats and numbers. Aune failed in the same way he's failed in almost every game we've played. He can't throw the ball worth a fvck. Bench his ass.

You not understanding things isn't my problem.

Littrell needs to search his heart and decide if there is a quarterback on this roster that opposing defenses must respect

From the moment that UTSA went for a 4th and 8 in the first quarter I knew they didn't have any respect for any aspect of our team.

southsideguy · October 22, 2022

It is all on the head coach. He didn't hire a qb coach and he could find a better qb than Aune. Aune should never be on the field but if he is the best of the rest than SL cant evaluate qbs.

SL wont play for the future he is trying to keep his big pay check coming in.

There's no reason to play Aune. All we have left to play for is a bargain bin bowl.

I'd rather develop a young player who will be here next year and not collecting social security

The quarterback was what we expected- great at moments and very disappointing at others. Non existent run game and their players made plays on that last drive was the difference. Great game all around.

What was frustrating was the drive with 6:30 to go (and the lead) and we run for three on first down and then the play call on second— run!!!!! Take 40 more seconds off the clock x2.

We don't really know that. Earle looked good in his limited action. Gunnell did not look good, but he also hasn't played in 2 years. There may not be a better quarterback on the roster, but if SL is going to play Aune, he bears the burden of QB play, and his play has been terrible all season. We lost today because his ball placement and decision making. Yes, he made some big throws, but most of those were because of receiver effort and adjustment or the receivers being wide open because of scheme, not because of his accuracy.

I agree that was frustrating too, but SL has shown he doesn't know what a clock is, so that was expected.

Agreed that his clock management has been poor over the years.

Austin didn't win the game but he didn't lose it either. Come on..7th season....you know how this season is going to play out.

If there had been a QB that didn't throw the ball 2 yards behind the receiver on almost every slant throw we may have won the game. This loss is on Aune. And I guess SL too. Fine, but if we had a marginally more competent QB, we would have won.

We lost this game because of him. End of story.

Why are people downvoting this? Nobody’s perfect. Nobody on the team is perfect and there are always more place to be made. However, if your quarterback can’t even threaten to complete 70% of his passes against mediocre, FBS defense, you can lose to anyone. If a few more of Aune's mistakes in this game were taking advantage of, it would not have been close. Most games he doesn’t look like he deserves an FBS level scholarship let alone to be the starter. His numbers is may not be as bad as McNulty but that’s only a function of the type of office we are running.

To borrow from a phrase sometimes heard in golf; you drive for show and putt for dough. Putting up big numbers doesn't mean much if you don't score the points.

We had 22 net rushing yards and Aune lost the game for us? nutsak shut down our rushing attack.

I haven't read any of this forum except for this response...

However, that is EXACTLY his point.

He didn't make enough to win too. That's what 50% completion is

This. They dared him to beat them and he couldn’t do it. Under 50% and an INT was the difference in the game.

If you can’t develop the qb position you shouldn’t be a head college football coach. As I stated Liberty is 7-1 with their 4th string qb!!!

Meanwhile, Jason Bean is doing a good job at Kansas...you remember him, the one who left us.

Post Game I can hear it now - we didn’t execute on all 3 phases - we’ll need to get in here tomorrow and watch the film and clean up our mistakes and try to get one week better and try to go 1 and 0 week.
