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!!!
I thought so too…i kept waiting for them to nail him, but it never happened…i mean it was almost like he had a full 4 second count each time…Rose was blocking like a beast.
I cant wait for Nick to return though! ;D

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.
Expose this! We lost to the #11 team in the country. We are not a top 10 team. We can still kick some SBC @$$. Let's all not hit the panic button. We did not meet expectations. We all fell prey to all the attention and thought that equated to talent. Just because we were getting attention, we thought that meant we were ready to beat Texas. We were not. Many many teams are not. Let's rebound this next game which is what we should do and re-evaluate. We have done an incredible job in a very short time. We are not going to win the national championship this year. 118 other teams are not going to win it as well.
Go Owls!!

Don't worry i'm sure LSU will expose Troy for future games as well….. :

Re: FAU; An A for disappointment.
Texas is a lot better then I thought they were and I give them all the credit in the world, but there's a WORLD of a difference playing a team like Texas and playing a team like Troy
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

As for the game I think FAU should not hype a game of this magnitude anymore unless we are playing Duke or something!!!!
The day we hype a game against Duke – unless it's during their once-in-a-generation miracle season – is the day I return my diploma.
Nah, can't say that. We hype games against Minnesota.

our DEs should be turned into D-tackles as they can't even contain this 260lb boy.
That 260lb back was Rivals' #1 rated FB in the nation for his year and #18 overall on Rivals' Texas top 100 list.
