The D has played well minus not getting off the field on 3rd down.

The offense on the other hand...

Our offense actually looks pretty good considering our missing running game.

At least we get the call to start the second half. Think they come out with Purdy?

The OL hasn’t been getting as destroyed as much as I thought they would against TCUs fast DL.

Butler must really be covered or a decoy, since they don’t throw to him more often

When was the last time we got this many breaks on penalties? There were 3 specific plays we lucked out, I’ll take it!

While in general I agree, there was a lot of missed tackles and blown assignments on that TD drive. And the D has given up a lot of chunk yards in 3rd and long situations. I think that's where most of the complaints are coming from.
3rd downs have been a killer for us all season, even long downs. Gotta get something figured out with that.

76 yards of offense in a half. Gross.

We have WAY too many weapons of offense to only have 76 yds at the half.

CMC just has to get more creative with getting the ball into our best players' hands. If the running game isn't working, then throw a screen to Montgomery or something out of the backfield.

I still believe Jones might be one of our best weapons we have. Just get him the ball in some space some way, some how. Or Akers too.... he has speed to burn. Butler and Eaton are obviously more of your deep threats, but you have to keep throwing it up to them also.

I would just love to see what a really good OC could do with this talent we have.

I really don’t know why, but I just checked out Randy P on Twitter. What a jerk
