so exactly why did we just blow Riley's Red Shirt??

Um....because we suck and we can use all of the help we need! RD probably is the most talented and athletic player we have. Most of those other kids couldn't even DREAM of playing for Texas...

Dodge said on the post game interview that Riley had to play because we are depleted at WR. Guess they better get busy recruiting more WRs and quit focusing so much attention everywhere else. <_<

Despite the fact that we have like, 60 receivers on the roster?

How are we depleted at WR.. did we not have 10 recruited in the last 2 years.. and that is not including Riley... I for him playing if he is the best we have.. but just have to wonder.

I was VERY glad to see Riley get playing time. Even at receiver, he is one of the most talented guys on the field.

Notice how the offense seemed to "click" a little better with Riley on the field?

I'm glad that the offense did finally show signs of life in this game.

Tulsa has one of the best offenses in the nation, so the big points against us don't bother me too much - except that I hated to see some really poor tackling at times.

Give TD some time - he's playing a ton of youngsters right now - that will pay off later this year in Sun Belt play (and into the following years).

Seriously? That was the reason? WOW, that is amazing when you consider there is like 19 players on this team listed as WR.

He is pretty good out there, but depleted?

Maybe depleted at guys who know the system inside and out. And he probably knows the plays and routes better than anybody on the roster. He brought a lot of excitement tonight.

Yeah, gee, without him it might have been 56-19. 56-26 is so much better. It was absolutely worth burning his red shirt for that. It was absolutely worth burning a year of eligibility of your quarterback of the future for this.

Maybe. But if it does, it will be with one fewer year at quarterback from Riley Dodge.

Agreed. A couple of crap years of Dodgeball won't make the OU's and the UT's say, "Hey, look at the bargain we can get with Dodge!"...they'd say, "He sure was a good high school coach, but definitely effed up the whole college thing."

He's not going anywhere if he can't win (unless he gets fired in 3 years or so).

Let's hope we see the production from his first senior class that everyone was so impressed with at SLC (just at the NCAA level, of course). I'm hoping to see it sooner, but for me, that is the deadline. MAYBE one year after that.

...I think I'm probably a lot more patient than most on here (though I too would like to see some wins NOW).

Agreed. Besides the poor tackling and the muffed KR (well, the whole 2nd qtr), we had a decent showing. I'm not giving up on this team nor am I

going to bitch and moan like others about this team. I am just going to watch and trust what Todd Dodge is doing. I have all the patience in the world!

Decent showing? Someone save me on the day when we have a bad showing. If not for offense coming up with an extra couple of scores against the 2nd teamers, we lose by 40.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.
