If we don't have illegal hands to the face and a false start at the 1 this thread doesn't exist and everyone is ******* pumped to be 8-0. If Mouser sucks then where were these threads through the first 7 weeks? Just waiting on the downfall before you unleash your wisdom on the masses?
I don't think Mouser sucks but play calling tonight wasn't his best. He's young though I expect him to make mistakes but learn and grow.

3 and 10 before the Konrardy missed FG was a QB power. 2 pulling lineman and 3 more 10 yards downfield. I know they had some illegal men downfield today, but that was a run the whole way and was one of the worst play calls I have seen in a long time given the circumstances. Try for a first down there and it could have made the difference if they got it.
Correct, I didn't count that as one of the three. One was a scramble, one was an RPO that he didn't give and was going to pass, and one was the fumble that was going to be a WR screen. Also another was a QB sneak which is a called run but I don't think anyone has any issues with it.

I'm not saying I agree with every call, just that we called a lot of passing plays.

While we are venting..our kicking game hasn’t been reliable for awhile.

Now that's a take that a sane person could have, it's possible that he just didn't call a great game, but the whole "fire him and find someone else because he sucks" take after his 1st loss is a bit much.

it is what it is I guess. CMC is the best we’ve had, by far, yet is still so unprepared for certain situations. My fear is what has happened the last to weeks we’ve played is exploited by the rest of our opponents and we finish 8-4 at best. Our offense line sucks again, imagine that.
Everyone keeps saying unprepared..but at some point we have to admit we don’t have the players that are executing.

We ran multiple plays with just 2 receivers and everyone else in to block and they still got pressure.

He sucked tonight. Did we throw one deep ball against the worst pass defense in the country?
I mean our O Line couldn't hold up for more than a couple seconds. I am more critical that we didn't have some quick hitters or screens to counter the pressure. I don't think we could've thrown a deep ball if we wanted to.

Just FYI, this was the first game all season the Texas Tech secondary had all of their starters healthy and available to play the entire game. If you really watched them all season, it was the backups getting torched for big plays and the biggest reason for the terrible defensive stats.

They still weren’t good at all. There were holes everywhere and we refused to take what Tech gave us.

Yes, our offensive line sucks and it always has under Campbell. I’ve said it multiple times tonight. It is mind boggling to me how we don’t have anything even near a good as a good G5 line. Someone gets manhandled every play, plus, we have guys who can’t figure out that you can’t just run downfield on a pass play.
