Toledo and Texas Tech were good losses.

Toledo didn't beat us, we beat ourselves in that game, and the missed FG was just the icing on top of the **** cake. I dont care that we've lost to teams that are now ranked, the fact is, we should of beat two of those two teams with the talent we have, and those two games may very likely be the difference between a bowl game and doing nothing for the 3rd straight December. Its all becoming a pattern. We play a tough schedule, but that is no excuse. There have simply been way too many game in where we looked unprepared, uninspired, and the coaching and play-calling has been a downright disaster.

For me, the only way I want CPR back is if he wins 4 of his last 5, however, I agree he stays with 3, but I wont be happy. I'm simply not willing to give him any more chances.

Tread lightly...any farther out there and you're swimming in tavernhok territory. We lost the game, they beat us.

We out-gained them by nearly 200 yards, had just as many turnovers (they scored on ours), and had the ball nearly 17 more minutes then they did. We gave them over 110 yards on 14 ******* penalties. We beat ourselves about as bad as we ever have.

I don't remember the details of that game. But did we ever lead in that game in regulation? Always seemed to be tied or Toledo ahead.

That's not beating yourself, that's helping the other team win.

Also, Toledo from the eye test is not a top 25 team. Can't wait for them to get into a BCS bowl at the end of the year and get slaughtered.

Are you two really arguing over whether we beat ourselves or we helped the other team beat us?

They are and if the box score of that game doesn't indicate beating yourself, I don't know what does. Nebraska in 09 didn't beat themselves against us either I guess. They helped score ALL of those points.

Fun stat. There have been 5 times this year where an offensive team has fumbled the ball and then recovered that fumble to score a TD. Iowa State has had it happen to the twice. (Iowa & Toledo). This came from @cfbanalytics

Thanks for the opening...
