Was at the game:
1.team was flat, stadium subdued. Crowd noise didn't factor
2.D looks like it is playing with 10 guys
3.whole team is soft, looked like flag football
4.couldnt control the edge on D
5. Corners looked slow
6. O line no push. No nasty
7. Folston is not 100%
8. Special teams are an afterthought

Ok with the coaching today but willing to sit the one guy on this team the NFL is salivating for. Does He' have f**king brain damage?

He's a good QB, but he showed what happens every time to QBs in Kelly's offense when we're throwing it 35+ times a game. People were saying he was better than Quinn and Clausen. Golson looked good at times too. So did Tommy. Right now Kizer looks like Tommy with a better arm. He's changing the play at the line a lot, we're asking him to win the game passing the ball because our running game blows, and all these attempts are eventually resulting in turnovers or bad passes as the defense adjusts. Can't win games putting the entire offense on the QBs shoulders, not all the time anyway. Can't ask a QB to play perfect for an entire game. Kizer has done well in many games because he has the arm and enough legs to get out of trouble. Long story short though, when BKs running game falls apart we put everything on the QBs shoulders and historically it becomes too much for one guy.

We honing to go from 5 Qbs to 3. Defense was still bad. He needs to open his eyes.

Bad teams find away to lose. Now we have 3 times. Bk has lost it. Couldn't beat a good team last year. Now we can't beat mediocre teams. Program unfree fall. Sad

Trouble is players have lost confidence in their leadership. Why try hard if you feel it won't matter? I think Kelly is wrong, it's not a lack of passion, it's a lack of confidence. Only down hill from here boys.

Does this guy have any eligibility left? I'm not talking about Lou.

JFC...Duke gave their game ball to Kevin White. They just said it on the Post Game Show. That's low.

Did anyone think it was a low blow in the press conference calling out malik on getting sacked, when he should of thrown it away and that youll never see that play again. Kizer got sacked ,threw a pick, and fumbled the ball. He was on the field twice and you choose to nit pick that? Not even mention him in consideration for the qb job.

I hope Zaire does end up transferring and tears it up. He had to redshirt and watch Tommy play, then remain in the shadows while Golson fumbled games away, then the untimely injury when he gets his chance. He's a good player and has been unfairly blasted for 3 possessions against Texas..some people even saying he cost us that game. Zaire wasn't even near the top of the list of things that cost us that Texas game. He's still responsible for the best bowl win we've had since Holtz.

Well, no shit. That's easy to see.

This "business trip" Bs started with Weis and continues on with BK.

Really, Kelly is a better version of Weis. I remember watching Cincy at the end of 2009 as it seemed that he could be our next coach. They played just like us. No D, throw it all over the place, yet his teams won the close games and Weis' teams lost the close ones. This is a carbon copy of the 2009 team. Unreal.

We have beat exactly one ranked team. Navy over the last 2 years now. And now can't beat mediocre teams. On track for a bad year. Bk has done a flat out bad job this year. Bad.

MZ if good friends with Josh Dobbs. I would not be shocked to see MZ in orange next year. While I love Dobbs (a great kid, great parents), MZ would be an improvement and a perfect fit.

Right now I'd rather have a young passionate coach. Even in a loss look more energetic. Sad state. And looking at a lost season. 1-3. Not acceptable. Defense horrible. Kicking horrible. Offend not good. And special teams bad.

exactly everyone thinks im crazy when I say they should work Zaire in. The seasons over, give him some snaps and let him play the full playbook. The had designed qb runs multiple times today. Malik is a much better runner than kizer.

Duke is not a mediocre team, they are a terrible team. We lost to a terrible team.

I agree. Some people say Kizer is a better runner, but they're delusional. Kizer is successful running because teams respect his arm and don't load the box, it leaves more running room. Zaire is quicker, more elusive, and he's still better at diagnosing the read option. Right now it's irrelevant though because our OL is getting beaten in the trenches on running plays. If we're not going to be physical, I don't think we can be successful with Zaire in.

Based on what??? One game against a terrible Texas team. A Texas team who's improved 2016 roster Kizer shredded even worse.

absolutely he's faster. I would quote stats but theres not much to go on since he got injured because kelly was running him.

He doesn't have the arm to be the everyday QB. they would load the box and i don't think his are would be constant enough.He would run so much he would get all banged up and the back up would play 2 or 3 games a year. Yes he has a much quicker first step when he decides to run. But one they are full stride they are both pretty fast.
