Lot of delusion in this thread. Sucks to lose... But here's the good thing... We have (for sure) found our QB. I wasn't sure before tonight, but after tonight, I am sure. Now, we have to find a running game!

If you don't think that we can beat SMU, UH, Tech, Baylor, Kansas, and Cincy... Your nuts. OSU and Utah will be tough... Will need some luck. AZ is a toss up, but what I saw in their game against KSU this week was NOT good.... We have a shot against them.
It's not delusion. Obviously we're a better team and we'll do better this year. I think we can go 8-4. But we have coaches who are committed to an offensive system that cannot beat the best teams, even when it finds itself up by 18 points at home in the second half. TCU football might play our way into opportunities to be a championship team, but with this offense we'll immediately play our way back out again.

Hoover is great. He deserves a run game to help him. Our defense is better. They deserve not to get killed on TOP and gassed by trans that are actually committed to coaching linemen on run blocking schemes.

Cause we won't even try to rush more. You've got to attempt more rushing. We rushed 17 times with a lead most of the game! You can't control the clock slinging the ball around the whole game.

We knew we had to score. Burning clock with rushing wouldn’t work. We averaged 3 yards/carry. Running backs that perform like that get dropped mid year in the NFL. If we had run the ball, the entire board would be complaining that we switched to our least efficient offense and gave the game away. UCF switched to pass coverage knowing that Cook would bounce everything outside so no threat to break a run. Defenses will start doing this across the board. Our season is quickly becoming a hope for bowl eligibility.

We are in big trouble if we continue with this non-existing running game. I say try Richardson at running back. He does not go down easy, he is smart enough to know the plays and he wants to win. Plus he can catch the ball.

Terrible second half on both sides of the ball but especially defense. Overpowered in the run game with no lane discipline. Receivers constantly behind our secondary. 13 had a really bad game.

We cannot run the ball and continue to use the wrong backs IMO.

Not getting that TD when we got down to the 1 was a killer.

No way we should blow a 31-13 lead at home, be outscored 22-3.

Really disappointed in the defense and the run game.

3.5 yards a carry is usually good enough to win when you a game that you're up by 21 in. The problem is when you decide to only run it only 24% of the time when up by 21. Our players can always improve for sure, but our coaches just got schooled on making proper half time adjustments

We just need to use Johnson and Payne. They know how to burst forward in and through the hole without sidestepping and hesitating.

The defense got a stop when it counted them forced a fumble after the offense sold them out with a quick three and out. It wasn't a good half, but they played well while the offense was scoring. The evidence suggests they would have done enough if we could have kept them off the field longer.

That's kind of the point with regards to the defense. They couldn't get off the field. UCF racked up over 500 yards of offense, including 289 rushing yards. Gashed us and threw over us.

BTW TCU rushed for 58 yards. 58.
