You can see the improvement from last year. Dave coaches the defense and that unit played well. Delusional

You can't be serious regarding Finn. There's HS school QBs in freaking Iowa who are better passers. Finn sucks, take off the gold, green blinders

Sunshine pumping phaghot. I'm guessing you are Gen Z based on your username. Typical delusional person. I have nothing more to say to you or anybody else who is solely here to try to control the narrative after a terrible loss. If anybody actually wants to talk shop with a tiny bit of honesty, that's cool

Utah is likely one of the better teams in FBS and we played them close. It wasn't a great chance...but we still had a chance to win in Q4. I'm definitely encouraged by several things today.

But Finn leaves me unimpressed. There were some concerning passes against Tarelton...so I was really curious to see what he brought today.

I don't fault him for the plays when the pocket quickly broke down which happened often....but there were too many times where he did have time to set his feet and many of those passes were still waaaaaaaay off target. Like so bad the WR didn't even try and jump.

I think Sawyer gives us the better chance of making those completions. We can still bring Finn in for certain spots.

I'm fine giving him one more chance to start the AF game...but if he's still way off on his passes I hope we give Sawyer a look.

These dudes come out of nowhere after a loss. It's absolutely mind-bogglingly insane. There's no way even they believe some of the stuff they say. That's why I've said in the past that I think they may be athletic department employees or alt accounts for some of the premium staff on this board

Seen a lot of poor and hot takes on Finn, Aranda, etc. We played the #11 team on the road and they've lost 2-3 games in the last 6 years.

We all knew the O line was going to be poor this season and any QB behind them was going to struggle. This was Finn's first true P4 game and it was on the road against one of the nations best teams.

The defense played very well for a unit that spent a lot of time on the field in the first half. If the offense can work out its kinks (O line, run game) and the defense plays like today, you can see the path to 6 wins. There's no shame in losing to a team like Utah today. I saw enough to still not write off this season.

If Dave gets to 6 it's cuz the big 12 now sucks that bad

This wasn't a game baylor really had a chance in anyway

What's more disturbing is what we're doing at QB.

And on point afters when down 11. And on 4th down with a guy holding a clipboard 30 seconds earlier.

Dave is Dave to the bitter end. Is what it is.

We definitely had a chance today if we show up ready to play and don't self-destruct in the first 12 minutes. Our defense arrived at the stadium today ready and equipped to keep us in that ballgame. Unfortunately, the offense wasn't up to the task.

But I'm not as depressed as I expected to be in the first half. I think there's a path to a decent season and brighter future. We can compete in this conference, but we've got to get better on offense in a hurry to do it.

OK. Who do we hold under 14 -17 points the rest of the season?

You are correct. Truthful debate is helpful and informative. The play calling and performance in this game was straight up bad. But, don't let lowbrow name calling ruin your point. You're better than that.

I don't think some of you guys appreciate how mediocre to bad most of the defenses in the Big 12 are. Or perhaps how sound Utah is defensively.

I liked our chances to compete in that game based on the fact that I've never been super sold on Utah's offense. But their defense is remarkably disciplined and extremely well-coached. Fortunately (for our sake), we won't see another defense like that all year. Iowa State is probably the closest thing we'll see to that level of play, but no one else on our remaining schedule is capable of playing at Utah's level on D.

That said, we've got to get better on offense. Period. Full stop. We can't win playing the way we did today offensively. We need more from the quarterback position and from our offensive unit as a whole going forward.
