He called a good game. Not perfect, but a B+ is good enough in my books. Dekkers looked more confident. We'll get some Big 12 wins if we play like we did today.
Props to Manning and the other coaches

He called a good enough game for us to win. The offense looked solid and functional when I got to watch, and often even good to very good.
Much better flow and mix of taking chances down the field, we will win a few more games if we keep that up.
He cant control drops.
The play call on the second Jaylin TD was his best call all year.

There was definitely clear progress this week which hopefully can carry on through the bye week.
Yep. I'm hopeful that the week off comes at a good time and we can regroup a bit. Today was better than it has been for weeks.
More tempo, more down field throws and moving the pocket around. Everything I wanted to see.
Only real complaint I have is the usage of Silas, but we don't really know the condition of Brock or Norton right now. Really need one of them to be ready for 2 weeks
Manning called a great game today, and we finally saw the things a lot of us have been wanting to see for years.
Now I hope he doesn’t totally abandon it like we’ve seen before

I didn’t watch, but tuned in off and on on the radio. Really liked hearing both Norton and Brock being in the game, as well as throws downfield.
Now if we could just have a game with that offensive gameplan while not giving it away on special teams. . .

Thought they called a good game today. Makes the losses sting even a bit more because these were things we've been wanting to see forever. But today they used more than the first page of the playbook and looked better doing it.
I'm hoping Brock can get healthy so we can have some semblance of a running game for the last half of the season
The offensive performance today is the textbook definition of improvement. Just what the fans needed and the players needed as well. It sucks that it was still a loss but it did not feel nearly as hopeless as the first three Big 12 games felt.
The drops today killed us. Not selling the play action on the big sack play really hurt. It is designed to make the defense hesitate, and they half as@ed it. The result was the sack. The delayed stretch hand off off to Silas right before the INT was a horrible call. The zone read was working, should have maybe ran that instead.
If we had today's game plan all year I think that's our first loss.
Let's not conflate "good" with "better," considering how low the bar is at this point in the season.
It was good but makes the game vs KU even more frustrating. We let their defense dictate to us…KU…dictating to us.
Almost assuredly wins against Kansas and K-State if these changes are made 2 weeks ago, but I'm glad they were made anyway. Just can't go back to no tempo, slowly developing handoffs, and being terrified of pushing the ball downfield after the bye.
