We've seen it all year.....

get a little momentum, do something stupid...ballgame...

I look for ASU to score a quick TD

[UNT90]

What's truely amazing is Dunbar gets you to the ASU 20, so naturally you throw 3 straight passes with your backup QB.

May want to give him the ball on at least 1 of those plays.

The disappointing thing for me is that all three of our last four opponents - ULM, Florida International, and Arkansas State had tons of injuries. And, each of our four final opponents were struggling going into our game: ULM had lost two in a row, FIU had lost three of four, Army had lost two of three, Arkansas State had loss four in a row!

I posted on the VIP board before the ULM game that Dodge needed to get his team to recognize a wounded animal and go in for the kill. ULM, injuries and losing streak and all, beat us. Then, a heavily-injured and stumbling FIU beat us. An Army squad who struggled to beat VMI at home the week before came in and beat us.

Today, a beaten up Arkansas State team jumped on us, then clung to a lead with their redshirt freshman QB. It's just not good. Four very bad teams beat us over the last four weeks. There's no way around that. I shudder to think how bad we'd have been beaten if those guys had been healthy when they faced us.

There was only one conference game this season where we didn't trail at some point by two touchdowns - the FIU game. In every other Sun Belt game we were at some point having to dig out of holes. It really shouldn't be that way.
