The offense was mediocre, but the defense was just plain clueless most of the game.

It's ironic. He has great stats, but I feel like we don't use him enough - especially at critical times.

For sure. There’s no one on this D with that type of fire. That’s the issue.

Completely agree.

That reads more like an indictment of the imbecile calling the plays...

In comparison, Bentley got 20 carries today, but they also ran 22 more plays overall, most of which at the end of the game where TCU couldn’t stop them to get the ball back.

Y'all keep talking about individual plays or decisions. Sooooo much needs to be fixed. Starting with the coaching.

no doubt, they need to stop running the option because he looks like he has no idea what he is doing when he gets to the edge. he won't make the defender commit to him and he won't pitch when the back is in position for a big play
second half he looked like he was starting to panic and rush things. all the positives of the first half got washed away and a good part of that to me is putting the load of the offense on him instead of the run game

To be fair, we couldn't stop them all day long. It was just worse in the 4th because we knew they would be running the ball.

Outgained by 150 yards at home by a team that should have lost to La. Tech. An absolute disgrace. Totally outcoached.

GMFP had better take a long look in the mirror.
It is a talent issue.
SMU blowing our DL 5 yards off the ball every play does not show that TCU’s DL is weak-minded or timid. It shows that our DL is just weak period……..and what does our depth look like for later in the season when these guys are ground down even more?
Our DL struggle to get off blocks, our best LB should be our play-making safety & our second LB looks like a special teams player.
Yes, GP can fix some of the scheme issues & blown assignments, but he can’t make them run faster, get off blocks quicker & tackle a bigger, stronger RB in the fourth quarter. The talent dropoff from last year in our front six is what is so alarming to me.
I apologize for being in a gloom & doom mood, but I just watched SMU run for 350 yards at the Carter. The Ponies ground out 30 first downs.
Unbelievable,

And they'll smell the Top 25 tomorrow. TCU may just disappear in the poll voting.

Keep in mind who SMU’s S&C coach is.

As they should. Straight to the bottom.

Not saying we definitely will improve but every year some teams who start out like this find their mojo and turn things around quickly. Maybe a key player comes back from injury. Maybe a struggling starter is replaced. Maybe a change in game plan that fits the skills of the personnel better. OTOH other teams that struggle like this turn out to be a terrible defense all year long. We’ll have to see what happens with this defense.

being honest with one's self isn't always easy and you have to have at least one person close who will always call your [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ]
not sure if the first is truly happening and there is no one on that defensive staff who doesn't owe gary their job. bumpas had been hired and fired enough to know not to let the hc detour him from what needed to be done and how to accomplish that goal

Is this GP's worst number in opponent rushing, home or away? Did the Ponies make HISTORY today?
Man I remember when teams couldn't get ANY traction against our D. Under 100 yards was the typical case.
