Lack of offense hurts us again.
The game itself wasn't the worst part of the broadcast though. PLEASE DUMP THE INTERACTIVE TUES!. That made the game even more painfull to watch. Two idiots up in the booth talking about the top 25 schools over and over, while not even paying attention to game, and missing penalty calls. I'm pretty sure they didn't even realize that the clock dissapeared at the end of the 3rd Qtr, so we had no idea how much time was left. There was several times I had to mute the TV, cause I couldn't stand to hear OSU or USC mentioned again.
Sorry for my rant guys, but I am incredibly frustrated today, and I don't see us stopping this trainwreck of a season. But I hope I'm wrong.

Re: Lack of offense hurts us again.
It's almost like "The Rusty Show"…rediculous…
EVERYONE played a part in the loss last night…EVERYONE…including the Coaches.
Couple things i would like to see, moving forward, as also mentioned by others:
1. Less draws, and more variety with the running game.
2. Less conservative play calling in general and more trick plays.
3. NO MORE PREVENT DEFENSE EVER AGAIN…NEVER…PUT IT AWAY…BURN IT…FOREVER GONE…GOOD BYE.
Tough loss…
We need to move on now…we play Troy next week on National TV again…let's get this one, and rain on someone else's parade for a change!

Folks, we have to come up with a better overall game plan…IMO, too much is being put on one person…

While I'm upset at the loss, I'm 100 times more upset about the poor play by Rusty this season, which has been the one constant issue in four of our five games. It was the Rusty Show last year, and no one complained, so why have things changed this year? The running game was better than average last night and our defense was stellar for 3 1/2 quarters. I agree Nord's play calling has been awful, but again, WHAT HAS CHANGED? I assume he was calling the same plays pretty much last year, so why are Rusty and our receivers playing so poorly?

We had ALOT of TO's last year that we are not getting this year, and we are giving them up on top of that…receivers were not dropping the balls with the frequency they have been this year…we lost Harmon ( i think that is proving much bigger than we first Hoped)…Nord has gone more conservative overall this year…we threw more bubble screens and shorter throws last year…we didnt plack up shop and try to milk the clock, but then again we had to come from behind a couple times…everything at MSU and MINN was long for all practicle purposes…not many short throws til last night…
Its like a four headed monster…
AND Rusty is having accuracy problems to boot…
Ugh!

Re: Lack of offense hurts us again.
Rusty is taking too many chances. He is throwing into double and triple coverage all night.
I actually have to say that the run game and the defense were the most impressive aspects of the game. I don't think anybody expected that to be the case.
GO OWLS!!!

Re: Lack of offense hurts us again.
If you drop it, you sit.
If you throw a bad pass you sit..
You let a receiver get really open and make a big play you sit.
Fumble, you sit
Suck you sit….You want to play? Earn it.

If we lose to Troy I feel like we should just put everyone on rotation and get reps in and experience for all the players, lay the foundation for future success.
