Since 2007? That's funny. We got a new HC in 2008.

Yeah, but even in that game we didn't allow 41 points until after 3 quarters and then they kept scoring in the 4th (17 points), which is the only reason the final was worse.

That was also an away game against a team that would go 12-1 and win the Orange Bowl. A lot of similarities to last night.

Well, considering we shot off all of our toes in the first quarter, I'm amazed it was this close "just get ready for OSU"
Retreat Hell! We just got here! The 2/5

This game was lost before it was played. We were out coached in the preparation. Even if we were ready to play we would have probably lost but it would have been close. Had our offense done anything at all in the first quarter the game would have been close, maybe we would even be ahead. Our defense, other than the blown assignment (coaching) played well at first. The offense was horrible - that is what lost the game. Once it was obvious we were not going to score our defense then became pitiful, too. Bottom line for me is that our coaches did a horrible job in a by-week of getting our team ready to play. Maybe we have a couple of good games to close out the season and become bowl eligible but we were out coached badly last week.
