My biggest question - why do we seem to be so unprepared in these first games? Not even 1 TD - I did not sleep well last night.

Willie also stood out, thank god we had some positives from this game.
Keegan Peterson might be the worst punter in college football. In fact, I'll go as far to say he IS the worst punter in college football. Nebraska didn't send anyone past the line of scrimmage to test him and he still can't kick the ball more than 35 yards. Is Mickey Groody worse??? Why isn't he punting? I honestly don't get it. Who is the goalie of the mens soccer team? I guarantee that after one afternoon of learning how to punt a football, he can at least kick the ball 40 yards.
What happened to "ball hawking" and going for some interceptions this year??? It's easy to get yards and make completions when your receivers have a 10 yard cushion!
I really wasn't expecting us to have much of a dropoff with Jackson taking the OC duties on but it really seemed like it last night.

and another thing…someone tell Tavious Polo that you can wave your arm to signal a fair freaking catch
Agreed. Idk if its Polo's ego or something, but when you have 5 defenders in your face, please call a fair catch instead of taking a free shot.

Try to find some positives in the game, once again we find out that opening and playing against big BCS schools we just cant hold our own……last time we did was against USF 2 years ago

Morris is the real deal. 85 yards rushing against a TOP 25 team from a BCS conference. I know everyone is upset but did anyone really think maybe we had a shot? We all saw this coming but it's not as if we were expected to go undefeated this year or get into a BCS bowl game.
There were definitely some positives and this team will improve every week and they will start to play better, we always start out slow but don't hit the panic button yet it's way early.
As for Rusty I don't think he was to blame 100% there were a # of times people missed their routes you can see him yelling at Bonner. It looked like the receivers and TE's were confused as to what rout was supposed to be run. There were some plays he could have done a better job but I don't think he was that bad.
TeamBeer I agree Keegan Peetrson is just terrible, i think kids in PAL can punt better than him! Why not see if Gornall can punt or one of the other FG kickers we have. Something has to be done and you're not going to win games when your punter can't even punt the ball out of his own territory and on the rare occasion he does kick it into the opposing teams field it's barely past the 50. No wonder why they put up 42 on us. The only time they're going to be deep in their own territory is on a kick off.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

I agree that Rose and Morris did well, as well as the OLine. Solid performance.
I have NO idea why Rusty and his WR/TE cant communicate and hook up. They are 5th year seniors and have played together for 3 years. They should have no communication problems. That is REALLLY inexcusable.
I will say that I thought Rusty's throwing motion was MUCH quicker and looked sharper. Thank you Jeff Brohm.
D did what it could but it just got plain worn out with no Offense supporting it.
Move on to USC.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I still think the d-backs played like wimps. way to soft, it looked like a zone defense in basketball. I wasn't surprised the second half they ran up the score because we have no depth and Nebraska was done toying with us.
I'm not going to even mention the offense because it was just pathetic. Rusty Smith who is suppose to be a 3rd rounder next year and didn't have one scoring drive and two interceptions. This is vs a 24th ranked team. There's a sea of difference between number 24 teams and top 5 teams. Troy is closer to Nebraska then Nebraska is to Texas. There's absolutely no excuses. It annoys me to no end. I could rant on this for the next two weeks but I'm not going to. It was just pathetic and they need to go back to the drawing board. Freshmen starting a line backer and he couldn't put together a scoring drive with 5+ seconds of protection from the o-line on every play. How the hell can anyone justify him being an NFL player? He's never shown up vs. a legitmate team? Its not even a discussion.
I'm tired, hungover, annoyed and now I have to go buy some rogaine.
