I can accept losing to BCS teams. I can accept losing if we get outplayed. But to lose a game you had in your control for all but the last 9 seconds is nauseating. Is this the curse of being the SBC favorite rearing it's ugly head? Sure seems like it.
Not much else I can say…I have no words to describe how much this one stung.
I'm not going nuts and calling for Coach's job. He's done too much here for us to be calling for his firing after a 1-4 start. However this loss means that next week is the season. A loss to Troy next Tuesday and we are toast. I don't know where our offense went, but they better find it in a hurry.

A game like this is the reason the SBC is the bottom of the barrel for college football, way too many stupid mistakes and penalties, on both sides. Well, on to next week.

I posted on here sometime back that you guys would have more problems this year, becuase you are hunted not the hunter. Also were it not terrible playcalling on MTSU's part they would have been up 10 points or so. Don't get too down you are a young program and remember the only people that get hurt on a rollercoaster are the ones that jump off. See ya guys Tuesday. GO TROY
You can say the same about FAU…if not for turnovers, we would have been up at least 3 scores in the 4th quarter. It goes both ways.
I don't know if the difference this year has been that we are the hunted so much as that we are turning the ball over way too much. Last night was so fustrating because it seemed that for much of the game we were one play away from breaking it open and instead shot ourselves in the foot every time and let MTSU hang around.

Their quarterback sneaks were ridiculous. People are more "up"for playing you guys this year. Oh and WOW the dropped passes.
