A&M has 35-first downs and 651 yards. Leading Baylor 55-28 withbthe ball 3:30 left.

They get it, you have to score 35 points to have a chance in this league. With the offenses in this league, you can't expect your defense to hold teams to a couple touchdowns. Just isn't going to happen. have to find a way to score points and until we do it is going to be like this. This is not the Big 10 where scoring 21 is ok.

while I can't stand posts from people saying to bench Jantz...if Mizzou scores again, then what is the point in keeping him out there?

Disappointed that none of the young guys on the OL have stepped up. We really have a long, long way to go in terms of depth, across the board.

Will loyalty to ineffective coaches (Herman especially) cost Rhoads his job?
Weak assistants or not, CPR has shown an inability to inspire the team. They are not "All In." The team is worse now than when he took over. Once that is established it is very hard for a coach to recover from. The message becomes phony.

Paul IS going to be in trouble if he doesn't put a better product on the field in year 4 no matter how much we all like him.

Jantz doesn't look that bad IMO. Maybe I'm just crazy. His fumble was terrible, but he's hit all the open receivers and had a beautiful pass to Money. The defense hasn't stopped anybody, and the receivers can't make any yards if all we run are screens.

Because we allow people to take away everything we want to do and allow their defense to dictate what we do.


Quoting Paul Roads...tom herman didnt take dumb pills when he came to ames...


Ya know what coach, I dont know about that, when our offense only scores 3 points in 30 minutes...


This football season is starting to get real ugly real quickly....:sad:


Looking Forward to Basketball er I mean Freddie Ball...:yes:

there might not be another win this season...at this rate KU, who is ranked 120 in multiple defensive categories, will probably dictate the tempo to us...

For years now, Big 12 games have been very high scoring with typical scores in the range of 42-35. Our defense has been disappointing, but the offense has GOT to be able to score AT MINIMUM 28 points a game. Today the offense has 3.

not sure what you're watching, but the last offensive possession, the third down attempt to Lenz wasn't touched by anyone and it was five yds short, wobbling. He had a rush in his face, but a D1 QB has to get the ball out of there....it was pitiful.

Yes, the defense is completely inept, but Tom Herman HAS to go. Seriously.

Any person with a tiny bit of football knowledge can see that Missouri, and every other team we play, overpursues on defense really bad. Why? Because we NEVER do anything to keep them honest. We never run any misdirection or reverse type plays. Why shouldn't defenses just pin their ears back and come after us?

And why we haven't went to Money yet is beyond me. He's CLEARLY our best offensive threat, and we don't even look his way. Heck, throw it up to him, he usually comes down with it. Better than throwing the ball 20 yds across the field on a 2 yd out route.

And I think it's time for Barnett to at least get a shot in this game. If we don't score on our opening possession of the 2nd half and Missouri goes down and scores again, then let Barnett play the rest of the game PLEASE!! It's not as if you're burning a RS or anything by playing him. And Jantz is doing nothing, so why not? If we're that loyal to Jantz, then something's wrong. He needs to know that he can't play like this and not risk losing his starting job IMO. The best thing to bring out good play is competition. Jantz needs to know he can't screw up left and right and not get benched.

Here is where your theory goes bogus my friend....


Jamie Pollard HIRED coach rhoads and he is NOT about to fire any coach that he has hired because....


That would be an admission of FAILURE....and Jamie will never admit that he made a mistake...esp in hiring personnel...

btw which coach has jamie fired that jamie has hired???? (i honestly dont know if jamie has fired any of his hires or not)

I have been watching on and off, so I missed that.
