FAU; An A for disappointment.
I am not a football expert but I thought last night's game was the worst Owl's game I have ever witnessed - not sure if - my expectations were too high, the 98,000 people and hype got to the players, Coach S's "SOFT" quote hanging in the Texas locker room motivated the wrong team, ???. Texas's offense looked flawless - aren't you suppose to TRY to stop the player you are covering from running or catching the ball - I sure did not see much of that last night - quite frankly it was embarrassingly bad - our pass defense looked like they had never played those positions before - don't they play 7's in the summer ?? Don't care whose fault it was, but if we expect to repeat, much less win a game this season, someone needs to be held accountable and fix it. If you can't get the job done, find someone who can. The defense can't expect year after year that the offense will pick up their pieces. Am I mad after last night's game - heck ya - and our team better be as well ! We had a grest opportunity to earn more respect and we failed miserably.

Don't bank on the NO Bowl. You showed some points for people to expose inn future games.Hootyhoot said
No fair weather fan here as I'm making plans for the next two away games. I'm a realist. I did not expect to win, hoped to if things fell our way, but didn't expect to. What I didn't expect was to see such a lack luster performance. The truth be told, Texas players were not all that much better than what we put on the field. The question is, why didn't we perform better? The performace of the D and the coaches inability or unwillingness to make adjustments concerns me. After all, The Voice stated that these games are no longer "advance training games. Therefore I expect to see us competing. We did not compete!! But I'll leave it there. Week 2 is upon us and though I'm sure we will prevail, UAB is not the measure for a team who wants to take the next step into big time college football. Hopefully we will have worked through the glaring issue we have on D and compete better against Michigan ST. If not, its the NO Bowl again and don't get me wrong, I'll take that over the ST. Pete, Papa John's bowl or no bowl any day.

That was HUGE. Our makeshift O-line held up very well. Now we need to get the running game going. We can't be a one-trick pony going into the UAB game.
GO OWLS!!!
