I don't understand why we keep going for it on 4th downs without a sure thing. We keep passing on 4th downs which I have to believe the "analytics" say is not high percentage. Just so disappointed by our decision making.

Offense has been putrid the last 4 quarters. For all this talk about all the elite talent it sure isn't translating to points. Moving the ball between the 20's means jack **** inmf you aren't ending drives with points

I realize the game is who has the most NIL but is this the best we can do in buying a defense? Petty Cash Funded?

The defense needs a serious overhaul. There's 2 dudes worth crap on this defense. And one of them (Marshall) is incredibly overrated


The new defense for Aranda (one that's been used before, but who doesn't like recycling) is going to be all the injuries that we've had on defense. I'm willing to say that we would still look meh at best at full strength. Wasn't somebody on here saying that Dave was adding a bunch of new wrinkles to his defense in the off-season that were going to throw his opponents for a loop?

If we continue to win they won't change their tactics no matter how baffling the decision maybe during the actual game.

Do we have a strength and conditioning program? Everyone seems to run over our defenders. When a QB runs directly up the middle on a designed play and runs over your tackle and linebacker, you've got problems.

Seems like we used to always have these massive, hulking S&C coaches on the sideline. I dont see them anymore

No drive, emotion or fire. Bad fundamentals. That's what I see so far tonight.

And for the sake of all that's holy can we get rid of the guy who yells into the mic.

Just keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We've made a half dozen self-inflicted plays this half.

I don't see any elite talent. There's some decent talent on offense. The defense is frankly all warm bodies. I hope they all are majoring in something that will lead to a good career. Sawyer without the ability to use his legs will be a late round pick at best, most likely a practice squad player. I really thought Washington would be a draft pick for us sometime in the future, but he's looking more like a practice squad player as well.

drives me nuts when the quarterback rolls out and there's nothing there and he doesn't just throw it away but instead runs out of bound and takes like a 3 yard loss.

This game is winnable if we get out of our own way.

I mean… they deserve the right to substitute when Bu does. Baylor substituted late. Any smart coach would have done that. That's on Spav

Substitution rule needs to be changed to give the defense 10 seconds to run a player on and off the field. None of this start to substitute with 17 on the play clock, take 8 seconds to run on, then the guy starts to leave the field. We had to burn a TO with 02 on the play clock

How are we supposed to snap the ball with the ref in between the center and the QB?

Yeah if we're going to say that the Arizona State coach is on crack just based on the fact that he's hyper, Dave must be on Ambien

No. He's passed out and is propped up.
