Only listening to the game on radio, I don't know whether Perry is playing against "subs" or not, but we sound like we are playing better with Perry at QB.

18 games later, he still doesn't realize what he has at RB.

12 carries for reaves and howard. They have to get the ball 40- 50 times for us to win. They have to get the ball early in the game. They only had 3 carries, 5 minutes into the 2nd qtr.

Thank goodness for USM.

Even Drew was complaining about it on twitter......said Howard looked great, and they should have been feeding him the ball more.

The Southern Miss game scares me.

This is an interesting postgame interview...

McGee says Perry appears to be the better option moving forward. He said the players were taking selfies in the dome before the game and that was a red flag.

Good luck.

I ran in one this morning. Finished 2nd in my age group. Highlight of my day so far.

At least you've got some frustration to burn off. Good luck! Highlight of the day for me was my half marathon this morning 3rd fastest half I've ever run.

When you don't have a defense, anything is mathematically possible.

That's got 2011 FAU written all over it.

McGee sounded very frustrated in the post-game interview..........at his wits end.

Why would he be frustrated if he is throwing games like you claim?

I'm sure he is VERY frustrated tonight. I don't believe he is "at wits end" though because he knows there is an answer to our problems. They lie in more improved recruits and facilities as I'm sure he has been promised by the administration (when they hired him). He may also be considering more staff changes this winter. We will just have to wait to see how it all turns out after NSD in Feb.

To wit: We once scored 55 points in a game and lost.

Hopefully he'll find a way to get his team ready to play with the facilities and players he has.

You know, his job?

Are you guys talking about the first four practice games we played that allowed McGee to work out all the kinks.

The number of games where UAB has scored 30+ points and still lost is mind boggling.
