We got a lot of lazy cobwebs to shake off. Apparently first 2 games weren't enough. Let's hope we don't see a game like this going fwd.

You have a golden opportunity to get your backup players some reps, why are you not doing it? Save the health of the starters for Big 12 play

Sorry. Hate to be critical but that kid has awful hands. No reason not to catch that or the other one Sawyer put in his hands.

I think the first one was tipped, so I'll give him some benefit of the doubt for that one.

But when you drop your next chance, too, you lose that grace.

There is zero reason to have starters in the game at this point.

Especially since Sawyer isn't padding his stats, he's making them worse.

Aranda must be trying to get WASHINGTON hurt. It doesn't make sense to have him in the game at this point he needs to rest.

Agree with that. No reason for Bryson still be in. We lose him and we are screwed.

I kind of get Sawyer still being in there to try and find some rhythm and get back some confidence before he's hopefully pulled...but I don't get Bryson.

This is a teaching lesson at this point. Dave is making those guys finish a drive. They haven't earned the right to rest. I get it.

I've always been a huge fan of Aranda…this is the first time I've actually questioned his judgement…why are the key players for your season in the game at 35-7 in the 4th quarter

We recruit qb's who want to play, then fail to play them in a scrimmage game. That's a failure at the head coaching level.

This is why the starters are still in. I get this from a coaching standpoint.

It's not about giving them a break but giving the others experience for should we need them later.

I understand that. But you can't explain to the backups that the starters didn't play well enough to get them playing time today. It's 100 percent on them.

I get the teaching lesson thought, but when you don't have any idea about the depth behind your QB, your RB group is completely inexperienced and OL is thin, that could be a lesson that comes back to ruin your entire season as well.

Turner looked really twitchy on that first run.

I hope he gets more run going forward.

Why post statistics on the big board if not current? Do they have be approved by a 3rd party before showing them to the public?

All stats are unofficial until after the game.
