The box score is ugly.

TTU total yardage: 354
ISU total yardage: 139

D has to play better in the 2nd half. This is unsustainable.

I really get tired of not going for it before halftime. I understand not wanting to throw an interception, but what kind of message does it send to the offense when the head coach basically says you are more likely to turn the ball over than score?

As Mack brown says the stats don't mean anything. The score matters.

I agree with playing it conservative initially but after ripping off a couple big runs you should at least try to get a field goal.

This. I know in my last post I said if you're going to run out the clock, take a knee. I have no problem running the ball. But when your first run goes for a first down, circumstances change. At that point try and get some points. If you want to keep it on the ground, fine, but burn your time outs.

I would have liked to see us take a shot there, but a good half after a shaky start. I'll take it.

If we weren't getting the ball to start the 2nd half then I would agree, but I think that was the intelligent route to take in this situation.

You go get points there then score to open the half and all the momentum is will us. No points and a three and out to start the second half is the likely scenario now. Don't understand what CPR was doing there. Trust your players.

f'n stupid togo into the locker room with 2 timeouts. Fine you want to be careful and run the ball. but use the timeouts. No kill from this team or the coach. take your shot while tt is on its heals. then get the abll backafter half. They are going to make adjustments after half and its only going to get harder.

Texas pushed the envelope at end of first half, and got a hail mary out of it. With 30 secs left, why not throw one up to Q and see if you can get a catch or PI?

We are 1-3...on the road, against a top 20 team.

Oh, and we are only tied due to some REALLY lucky breaks.

Use some of your passion and quit being a *****!

DId we not learn a ******* thing last week? Being a ***** gave us a one point loss...NOT. A 3 pt win.

i can take 1-10...I CANNOT take loses due to being a total *****.
