[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 2775282, member: 28"] SMU is just SMU. They're not particularly good, and they had no business getting away with what they did, time and time again. To see what was considered a promising, if not special Frog team just get gutted like a fish time and time again by trick-play gambles, simple read-option runs and deep balls was absolutely demoralizing. I mean, nobody saw this coming? That the former Program Observer would use what he Observed and use it to beat us? Well, Shazam! The complete and total lack of preparation on the part of the Staff, coupled with a complete and total lack of focus on the part of the players. Not something we are used to. Something we thought we'd never see again this season. Wrong! After the ISU debacle, when the Offense woke up and dragged themselves within striking distance in the 4th Quarter, when the Defense needed to hold so we could get the ball back and pull within 3... ISU blew through them like crap through a goose. 6 plays. TD. Game over. Now, with these stunning failures staring us in the face, and the knowledge that our dedicated and brilliant Coaching Staff has been staying up nights trying to improve matters (Bigger hammers? Titanium drill bits? Explosives?), who among us believes things will improve this upcoming Saturday? Things devolved after Purdue. Kansas was an unexpected cakewalk, thanks to their Senior RB stabbing his teammates in the back a day before the game. And ISU was a re-hash of the SMU debacle. We haven't been able to get out of our own way on either side of the ball, and whatever they have been working on in practice is evidently not getting it done. K. State isn't exactly the cream of the BIGXII, and the best advantage one could say they possess is they're playing at home. Beyond that, they are just as screwed up as the Frogs, winning at Starkville and then stumbling in their last two tilts against Ok St and the Rapists. Oh, and it's Harley Day in the Little Apple. They get a twin-cylinder advantage... K-State is a winnable game for us, if we don't take a dump and fall over backwards like we've been doing. Call it a tossup. Past that, things look awfully bleak for a Frog team that can't figure out their identity on offense (or execute for whole halves of games), and can't seem to stop anybody with a pulse on defense.

Win the next week on the road in Norman? Beat W.Va. on a short week at home after our defensive backfield runs it's legs off chasing OU receivers into the end zone?
