At least we can have more faith in this D to stops Air Force's running game than the D in the bowl game a couple of years ago. Maybe we can win 6-3.

I can't believe we went from Blake Shapen to Finn. Someone made a bad decision.
You've got a valid point. But, but - you do have a valid point.Jorkel said:CHP Bear said:I'm thinking maybe we move him to half back and let him try half back passes.bear2be2 said:
I'll say it. We need a change at quarterback.
Finn's a talented runner, but he can't run a competent passing game.
We don't want him throwing the ball

Our problem starts with the QB. DQ is not a power 4 ready guy.

Well folks this was an ugly one even when we were expected to lose. Going to have me a brown drink tonight. See y'all at the stadium next week

I keep hearing Finn is a talented runner yet he got what? 11 yards in this game?

Is it a blackout next week? I think that is what I saw.

The consolation, if there is one, is that Utah will be, by far, the best and most sound defense we play all year. Finn will have more running opportunities against pretty much everyone else we play. But he's got to get to a point where he can complete the gimmes or it's not going to matter. He missed too many gimmes today.Jorkel said:bear2be2 said:

You didn't even have to bring it up, everyone knows he can't. We saw what happened when he was asked to throw the ball last week. I know I know we asked him to be a pocket passer and he isn't.

Easily Notre Dame…they had playoff aspirations

Which fans feel worse after today's results - Baylor fans or Notre Dame fans?

WE. PAY. PLAYERS! Yay!
There were more positives than that. The defense was legitimately good today. That unit will keep us in a lot of games this year. We need to get the offense to a point where it can capitalize.JustWinBears said:
The only positive is that this wasn't a conference game, really wish we could have had a few series with Robinson.
Oh wow. Did not see that score. aggy should be really crying now lol.CHP Bear said:
So which lose hurt the most? Ours or Norte Dame.
Shapen chose to leave. And let's not pretend he was an answer to any sort of problem.Space53 said:

Yep, and aspirations are about to turn into hope.Jorkel said:

Utah didn't give him any opportunities. That's as disciplined a defense as there is in the country. They came in with the game plan to make Finn a passer, and it worked to perfection.Aliceinbubbleland said:

The possibility still exists that we don't have a single capable quarterback, but that's obviously the worst-case scenario.BusyTarpDuster2017 said:
Quarterback controversy has officially begun.
Though it might not even be a controversy, but a no-brainer at this point.

I am pleased when any team in the Big 12 moves into the Top 10. Only wish we were not the team that facilitated the other teams moves.
I agree with your grades.mroberts said:
Special Teams: A (Punter is incredible!)
Defense: B+ (we will be in more games this year because of this u it)
Offense: D (very good defense made us look very bad…we may be very bad…)
