    Every game we've lost this year were games where we were in the game in the 2nd half. They all came down to the fact that we just don't have the roster we need right now.

    We scored 38 points with basically one WR tonight. That should be enough to win most games. We've got to get better players on the defensive side of the ball and fast.

    I'm guessing you have Alzheimer's because you don't remember the Vandy game. The game where we ran the ball 21 times for 45 yards. Connect the dots yet or do you need more help?

    FSU players are bigger, stronger, and faster. I want to stick with the coach to see where he can take us in the future. The Gators looked fine at times.

    One last observation, click management continue to be a problem. If we had used the click better on the final drive, we wouldn't have be forced into throwing and could have run some more.

    Maybe we should go after Taggart?

    38 points should win lots of ballgames, and to do that with a depleted wr group. The biggest issue and it has been all year is the D. You are not going to win many ballgames giving up the kind of points we've given up all year, or given up 3rd down conversions, or playing undisciplined ball like not playing containment on the ends.
    If BN had a qb that was more consistent, maybe we compensate for bad D. The key question is will he be open minded to a real qb competition or will he simply hitch his wagon to AR should AR decide to return. IMO, AR doesn't run often enough or well enough to compensate for inconsistent passing.

    Billy will have to close with a flourish to do more than marginally better than Mullen did his second class.

    And, the NFL can’t wait to get him because of his potential.

    Why Travis will be back and we have no idea who our QB will be. We also have to revamp an entire defense so I would love to think we are going to be really improved next year but logic is holding me back.

    He very well may. That aside, a bunch of Mullen's recruits didn't stick so we'll have to wait and see to truly compare them.

    Nah, he might be looking for a new gig next week though, apparently FAU is considering running him off. That 3rd qtr for Billy was horrendous tonight, no spin will dress that up.

    A loss like this to a rival hurts especially when we were in a good position for the upset but just didn't execute on either side of the ball at crucial times! I thought this had potential to be ugly and it was at times but we hung in despite all of the errors, maybe I have O&B coloured glasses on, I think this team as well as coaches could be much better next season!

    Yes I’m pretty sure they actually punted before we did. We definitely ended up punting more though.

    I was shocked that Miller's return was so deflating. I was expecting the phoenix rising from the ashes to comeback but all it did was stick the knife in our tires.

    I missed the second half. Did AR throw another one in the stands?
