People having a temper tantrum over a game Vegas expected us to lose by multiple touchdowns without half of our starters.

A lot of that 13.5-point line was because we lost Morris and Sheffield. With our QB and WRs playing as well as they did, those disadvantages were neutralized and we could have won this bowl game. There's nothing wrong with being disappointed that didn't happen.

How many of their starters entered the portal and didn’t play this game? Not good enough

He won't break the record for most TD passes (he would be tied if the receiver didn't go down at the 1ft line), but he will end up with the most yards.  Would rather have gotten the win instead.

You know the common theme with all those yards?

I’ve seen this type of game over and over throughout the years. Glad you had fun losing 😅

Man, that effort by Mestemaker was amazing…considering everything he had to face, that was a lot to be proud of…

Kid was awesome.

I am proud of our team they played hard and never quit.  Too many mistakes but everything considered they just came up short, those two turnovers killed use or we would have won fairly  easily.  

Considering that we usually get absolutely obliterated when we lose, that surprised me. I expected us to get crushed, since it was a bowl game, playing at SMU, and we lost the QB and leading receiver in the portal. But Mestemaker made a believer outta me—dude has heart and you can do something with that—if you can keep him around and if you will let him play. That Miami QB transfer may make that point moot.

They didn't have nearly as many as we did and their QB. Mestermaker played a great game but I'm sure the playbook wasn't as deep as it could have been.
