Damn that holding actually hurt us. Great moral victory! We almost won!
How do you declare a moral victory while losing to a team without it's starting QB, two running backs and away from home. Meanwhile what is this, loss number 6 in a row at home.

No halftime adjustments. None. Defense played ok but nothing to write home about. We are in trouble, again.
i think it was tongue and cheek...aranda will say some stupid **** like this and it's completely hollow

If so he should be fired before leaving the locker room

D to my surprise actually played an outstanding game. Our offense totally ended up losing this game led by Sawyer Robertson. We are so screwed that at QB.


I was encouraged by our defense today for sure. I think it helped that Utah started the wrong quarterback.
the effort was night and day from last week. baylor unable to adapt to a change in condition....wow that's a new one. we definitely haven't seen that for 15 games in a row.

Person over player fellas. Yeah we lost on the field, but we're winning in the locker room. Just hang in there. Aranda will get this figured out

100% PI. Jackson couldn't even get his left arm up.

Which fan bases are okay with 0-2 and the way we have played last week and in the second half today?

we've played 1 good half out of 4.
The defense was great all game. They got worn down by being on the field so much in the second half. That happens when you can't get first downs.


Christ!!! C'mon! A Texas team more accustomed to Texas heat got beat and worn down by a UTAH team that had NO realistic way to prepare for. Just a better, more gritty, determined team. BU is just not good.
It's not about the heat. It's about being on the field for an entire half.

Probably PI but we didn't deserve to win so I'm not gonna whine about it.

Much better effort today but no one needs to be saving any money for bowl tickets this year.

That's was pass interference, but honestly, it's too little too late. ****ty, pathetic offensive performance in the 2nd half. It's fireable.

Close game!

There's not even a moral victory here. The spread was +7 so the game went as expected.

They ain't calling PI on a final play heave into the end zone, whether or not it was PI.

I told you guys this was going to be a close game. Gone are the days when Utah could beat up on cream puffs like Oregon, Washington and U$C. Now the real football starts.

This. Effort was waaaaaaay better, but that offense and calls really stunk it up the 2nd half.

The only thing keeping you alive was running the qb you completely abandoned that and we lose

Some good improvements today but not so happy as Utah doesn't look like a ranked team

How do you blame Grimes when the QB can't hit an open receiver?


Because his play calling was horrendous.
What play do you call for a quarterback that's throwing the ball to the other team?


Why is this guy our only option? Who prepared and developed him? You seem to absolve the guys making Boku dollars of anything because a subpar QB they recruited can't play.

Just got home. Effort better but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is W/L and we losses to a JV squad. Yoda gotta go

It's not about the heat. It's about being on the field for an entire half.
maybe the coaches shouldn't have called prevent defense, 3 over the top and give the wr's 6-12 yards of cushion and let them dink down the field. the whole second half was a run up the middle, a rollout to the right, and a 4 wide slant/posts. we didn't adapt. we couldn't change a **** defense to stop it.

if you have a lack of talent in your DB's, you don't rush 3 or 4 and make the DB's have to cover for 5+ seconds. we didn't do that in the first half and look at the results. it's just really, really bad coaching and game management. i can't explain why they do it game after game but surely mack or someone in his office sees this ***** surely.
