I'm being completely serious when I say this: Breece should sit out the rest of the season. Pretty much all the goals and reasons for coming back are either already failed or no longer possible. Sit out and avoid injury before the draft.

I don't disagree. It would be selfish and he would get a lot of grief for it, but it would be the best for himself personally. Best part of today's game was that all the people bit**ing about something being wrong or looking off with him can shut the hell up finally.
It's the same mistakes that come back to haunt us game after game in September. Turnovers, poor line play, critical mistakes on special teams and the rest of it.
At the end of the year, Campbell needs to sit the staff down and make some changes, we need to hire someone that can teach special teams, rethink what we are doing on the offensive line and play calling, yesterday the line was blocking no one, without Hall we would be screwed, he is getting most of those yards with little to no help from the guys up front.
On the defensive side of the ball, it gets old playing a half before we make adjustments, can we blitz more to put pressure on the QB earlier in the games, let stop allowing them to get into a rhythm throwing the ball at the start of the game.
The entire off season we were told that the offensive line was the best ever, that Purdy was working on cutting down his mistakes, neither which has happened. Its up to the players and the staff to figure this out, but I get the feeling its same ol, same ol, we can see the promise land, but just cannot cross over and get there.

I agree. Kolar should sit out too. Came back to complete something special, but that’s not happening. Hall and Kolar shouldn’t risk injury just to get to the First Responder Bowl.
The team we watched yesterday isn’t beating Texas or OSU either.
Isn’t this almost exactly what Rattler said after their game, and everyone is bagging on him for?
Truth. It' like losing a baseball game 5-4 but outhitting the other team 10 to 6 while walking 6 and making 3 errors.
Couldn't watch yesterday...sounds about like I had a feeling it would go.
Humble unfortunate brag: I tried warning back in some thread about exactly what we're seeing and I got kind of lit up for it: the prior season doesn't equal automatic success.

Agree about Purdy. This offense only works well if the QB plays almost flawlessly - there are plenty of offenses out there with worse QBs but better offenses.
“I told you so” mixed with a tinge of schadenfreude is not a great look today.
In the first half I knew our defense would play better in the second half but thought Baylor was a very good team but then the second half happened and Baylor looked very pedestrian - we gave them the win. So I'm still not sure if Baylor is a good team or not.
The season so far:
UNI = W : Not as easy as we'd have hoped, but the Panthers get up for this game and have caused us problems in the past
Iowa = L : An absolute kick in the teeth for a game so many of us were looking forward to. The Hoks didn't even play that well. Staff seemed to throw in the towel early.
UNLV = W : Excellent all around. Purdy was near perfect and many of us thought this was the righting of the ship
Baylor = L : Baffling performance all around. We're not supposed to go to Waco for a loss. They were horrible last season and we are supposedly the peaking year of the Campbell reign
If the pattern holds true, based on alternating wins and losses, we should beat Kansas who haven't won since their opener and got crushed by Baylor. But this is game FIVE. Pundits talk about making halftime adjustments to improve the teams performance. I'm not sure there isn't a team on our schedule that can't beat us until this staff makes some needed and obvious adjustments. The big question is, "Will They?"

I'd recommend looking at Baylor's scores from a year ago and rewatch the ISU /Baylor game that need an INT in the endzone to seal it.

The kind of passive play calling kills ISU time after time. Rarely pushing the defense or trying to get them uncomfortable. Something has to change.

When was the last time we ran any kind of screen play, reverse, fly sweep, misdirection etc?
