Which is precisely what we could have and should have been doing on Saturday night....putting so much stuff on video with weird formations and personnel groupings that film study would be a [ hundin] for upcoming opponents (on both sides of the ball). Instead, we chose to jack around and rather poorly execute our vanilla base.

If you cannot run the vanilla offense, why in the hell do you think the rest would work? We could not hold onto the ball, pass the well, catch the ball well or block consistently. Why would adding a bunch of wrinkles help?

What would have helped is have been prepared and focused. For some reason, the team did not do that. And, yes, I do think that having a bunch of stuff ready would have likely engaged the team more than they appeared to be. In fact, from where I sat, it looked like UAPB players were having much more fun in that ballgame than the Frogs.

Of course UAPB had more fun than we did. They played their asses off in a cool stadium in front of more people than they will see all year with nothing to lose. Our guys and coaches treated it like an open scrimmage and it showed. GP and the coaches wanted to work on the fundamentals and we know that is an area that still needs to be stressed.

I can't wait for the Purdue game and see what our offense does and how they play. Hopefully, it will be miles better than Saturday.

It’s all good for me after living through 70s and 80s TCU football. And, heck, there’s no guarantee our cycle of winning hasn’t peaked. Nobody, not Alabama, not Notre Dame, not USC, not Michigan, not an Ohio State, no one wins forever. Let’s just hope we’ve got some years left.

Yeah, 1975. Beaten by UTA - At AGC!
10 losses in a row.
Thank goodness for playing Rice in the final game that year.
One win better than 1976.

It's absolutely hilarious if we are going to try to chalk up that utter disgrace to "not trying to show too much." Our offensive staff sucks. APB was in one coverage all night and SC had absolutely no idea how to respond. The good news is they have better players than the rest of the teams on our schedule, especially Oklahoma and UT.

This is such a joke. What the hell did we do all summer? We have no plan whatsoever. No clue what to do with Delton. But let's keep citing unidentifiable intangible skills and age as our main argument as to why he should be starting.

"All of our QB's throw the deep ball really well" is this year's version of TCU Football's absolute lie of the summer. Following last year's "We have 8 lineman ready to go!" Only to see the offense absolute collapse after 1 guy went down. This [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] is such a joke. Would love to see a time sheet of how Cumbie occupied his day this summer. Certainly wasn't anything remotely to do with college football
Moose with another zinger!
LawFrog with another overreaction!

Fact is, we played sloppy as hell. Fumbles, dropped balls, missed throws, and bad blocking were prevalent throughout the game and that has nothing to do with wanting to hold back on the playbook.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not drawing any definitive conclusions on a single game. I also understand, though, why a lot of people would be pessimistic after the 13 games we saw last year and the 1 that we've seen this year. We don't have a ton of positive experiences over the last 14 games to draw inspiration from. We just have to hope that the talent really is there and this year will be better.


"Fact is, we played sloppy as hell. Fumbles, dropped balls, missed throws, and bad blocking were prevalent throughout the game and that has nothing to do with wanting to hold back on the playbook."

Playbook aside, we could have run 5-6 running plays and beat them 50-0 if the Jackrabbits can use there full playbook and beat them 90-6. WE WERE NOT READY TO PLAY FOOTBALL. Too much Jalen Reagor attitude, I'm big and I'm bad, watch me go, for a bigtime show. We all know how that turned out. They thought they were playing a HS team and maybe they were.

Man. I wish you were TCU's head football coach. Instead, just a lowly pill peddler.
