re: Does Saturdays loss feel worse than troy?

Oh my God where do you drama Queen's come from? get over it it was a loss move on

This season has 5-5 written all over it, IF we get a few breaks!!

hahaha you just got 109 downvotes

This State loss is way overblown as far as embarrassment. Mike Leach does not give 2 fcks about a defense and his QB does not either. If you keep throwing it up you're bound to catch some and score. They risked it and it worked.

He knows what he's doing. They may not beat the other top tier programs, but I'm won't put anything past them "upsetting" other teams this year.

No. Really?

With this years Pandemic and the not knowing whether we were going to have a season or not, had me to deprogram college football. Normally a loss gets to me so bad, that it stays with me a week or so. This loss was so pitiful that I did not take it too bad because of the deprogramming a bit and the fact that we have a very inexperienced team after most starters were gone. Brennan was a big disappointment with his pocket presence as well as the defensive backs. Also not making half time adjustment on the defensive side was really disappointing. But, I am looking forward to getting back in the win column,which is what this team desperately needs right now.

Not to me.

This is the way I took the Miss State game: it's been a weird year, everything is out of kilter.
We have more talent than State, the only thing that would make the game close for them is them being more prepared, and us being sloppy.

We didn't play "BAD", we played like we were totally unprepared. The offense looked like a work in progress with some potential, that they need to figure out what works.
The defense on the other hand, looked clueless. It looked like they just put 11 guys out there and said "ok, play ball", and that was the extent of the coaching. I think 11 of us posters could have gone out there, and maybe have played better. Probably have held them under 600 yds passing, because after about 5 minutes we'd have decided to go to "backyard zone", instead of man coverage.

I don't know the thought process behind that. Were the coaches idiots, or were they deciding to get the growing pains out of the way in a fricked-up year? Who knows.

But it just felt like they didn't care about the outcome, they wanted to get the reps in. And if we got scorched, so be it, but we're going to stay in man until people figure out what to do.

There was nothing productive about the Troy game, other than to get the team's focus (which WAS huge). I don't know what comes out of this, other than the defense has learned that they need to get up to speed. In the long run, does this help the defense going forward?
I think we're playing for 2021, not 2020.

Don’t forget that Tennessee Monday night game.
