17 pts off turnovers. If my wife thought I was nutty bonkers in last week's 2nd half I can only imagine what she thinks so far today.

Time for Windham to get in the game. Vick just isn't there today. Without the pick 6s, it's a 7-pt game, so Vick's poor decision-making has made a huge difference.

Bad move on 4th and 3. Yeah, it was inside Buff's 45 but kicking into the wind would've made it easier to down it deep.


Let's get some fresh legs in there. Windham and Irons both need to see plenty of PT in the 2nd half.

I hope it gets better in the 2nd half.

Buffs get the ball. Ugh.

Regression to the mean. Low turnovers at the beginning of the season for the Bobcats should have made us realize that it was not likely to continue all season.

Two different types of lopsided games in two weeks. The WMU administered thumping included ZERO turnovers by OUr guys which means the talent level of one team is far superior.

So disappointing.

This season was starting to look different. We had refreshing players like Papi and Poling shining. Our defense showed dominance. Our O-Line looked strong. The Stable of RBs.

Now we're just back to the 2012-2013 pattern. Not just getting beat, but getting injured and SLAUGHTERED. Really is unfortunate.

Why does an offensive coordinator calling plays for a team that cannot run the ball, call play action passes? Fourth quarter, 3rd and 12 and play action? Then since the QB's eyes are not downfield, QB gets sacked! He may have gotten sacked anyway but who is fooled by play action under the circumstances?

I don't really think we were ever as good as our record showed early. We beat one decent team with their second string QB (Birdsong), Birdsong beat Purdue who sucks and he was replaced after the Ohio game and now Marshall is rolling without him. Our defense was way overrated because of who we played and as much as I liked Vick early in the year without an ability to run he is easy to contain. When we gave up 28 to Idaho I couldn't understand why everyone said our defense was great, then we face a second string QB from Marshall and then a MN team that only scored 10 on Kent. Having a lot of seniors doesn't mean you are good just look at the offensive line play.
Another 6-6 ish season, time to make drastic changes even if it means some 3-9 building years. We need some new blood in the coaching staff.
