Yeah, that last camera shot was impressive. Wish the team was giving them a better performance.

We had 4 weeks to prepare for this game.

Another drive enhancing facemask penalty when we had them for a loss.

Yep. A lot of our issues have been self inflicted up to this point.

Oh well, we will win a bowl game eventually. I don't expect it to be another 13 years before we get another opportunity.

Everybody does realize we were one of the biggest dogs of the bowl season, right?

2 big facemask penalties, 3 guys trip over each other trying to make a tackle, and a post route with no over the top help.

6.5 points?

Shaq had a shot at him in the backfield and just stopped . ???

Why run the ball?

We opened at 8.5 i believe. FPI and other metrics didn’t love us either.

I can get over being beat, but at least try and throw it deep on 4th down.

AJ locked in there on Lisa. Wilson was wide open

Hope the players enjoyed their vacation. Maybe they will play some football in the second half.

We're losing by 24. Apparently we weren't big enough dogs.

Just an embarrassment. We weren’t ready to play, getting our ass kicked on offense defense and special teams and getting aoundly outcoached to boot.

Glad to see our fan base is as rational as ever. We went 8-4, 6-2 after not having a team for a couple years. We finally got a practice facility built. We extended our coach and gave him a raise. But yeah, one bad half in a bowl game is a reason to lose our minds.

Just frustrating because our team is better than this.
