This half summed up the BK era so well... Missed oppotunities, hair pulling freak plays for the opponents and they take full advantage.... All that was missed was a critical turnover

Agree. So frustrating because we always seem so close to being great.

A disappointing year again this year should equal BK out on his ass. I would give my left nut to have a coach who knew how to get his team to finish scoring drives. If we march down and score 2 TDs on the first two drives it's a big difference. Instead, like we always do under BK we don't finish drives and let scrub teams hang around. I'm tired of watching also ran, never-was's like Matt Johns look like Heisman candidates against us.

Tenuta still brings the house. Not sure why we haven't popped it over the middle yet. TE have one catch yet?

Well this is going to make for great Showtime programming. Kelly is going to go off.

I'd like to see the O a lil more 50/50 with less downfield throws.

D gta make some big plays to get this team going

This. All the way. Don't worry the critical turnover is coming, I have faith.

You can always count on a few nobody scrub QBs looking like world beaters against ND every single year... Just a completely snake bit program.

Our use of the TE seems to diminish each year. I can only assume Booker sucks as a coach.

Tori Hunter injured? He got up slow on a PR. I've seen enough amir Carlisle to last me a lifetime

Because we have the talent. What we seem to lack is talent development, the ability to get a good system of offensive play calling, the ability to finish scoring drives, and the ability to find a defense that doesn't shit the bed at critical moments all the time.

how many defenders do we have with hand casts?

Schmidt, Redfield,...I thought I saw someone else too

Seriously, these bottom tier QBs must salivate when they see ND coming up because they know they're about to have the game of a lifetime. Texas' QB should feel horrible.

Cant say much that hasn't already been said. Terrible half. Coaching and execution. The way this team and coaches come out of the locker room will tell me all I need to know about how the rest if the season is gonna go.

If you take a step back, it's actually pretty hilarious how typically ND this is. Destroy a team in the opener, fans and media get hyped as hell, players are anointed as elite, and then the next week reality comes crashing down. Texas fans must be down in the dumps haha - I'd be very worried about Rice.

This. If their really is as much leadership as BK says their is, it takes hold now. If that was just lip service, we'll be slumming it in upset city.

Didn't Rosen destroy this D in his first start as a true freshman? We need some major adjustments in the second half... Which I fully expect to happen.

WTF did I just watched? We should be up 28 nothing. Not sure if it's bad coaching or just guys falling asleep as a collective unit. It's going to be antic in that locker room at half time.

I think the most frustrating part is that we always end up with "just okay" results but we never play "just okay." We play phenomenally, or we play like we've never seen a football before.
