yup blame all this on the offense, ignore the wide open SMU receivers dropping passes, the continued poor tackling, but hey we are going to be the kings of the worst conference in America. Makes me excited to be a fan. 

I mean. We have 12 points

So bummed Ruder didn't tackle the guy who ran untouched for 80 yards. What a shame. 

What were you saying about how awesome this team and the defense is and how they’ll steamroll through CUSA

[jbchis]

If SMU didn’t play their absolute worst half of football possible, they would cover twice the point spread folks are quoting.  This effort was fools gold.  Defense was better than we have seen but SMU was terrible in first half and embarrassing us in the second.

It doesn't matter anymore Seth. Put Aune in.

Welcome to the board, 19GMG

Bullshit. We had this game and let them hang around. This is squarely on the coaches. 
 

Where is Simpson?  What happened to Thompson?  No creativity on offense. This defense has something but I think they got worn out trying to keep us in the game only to watch our offense shit the bed. 
 

The good news is the youth of this team. I am a fan of SL and want him to succeed but this has to change.  We have to get this corrected and fast.

He can for sure afford the quilted with what we are paying him.

I’ve seen a UNT quarterback throw for 600 yards on SMU and still lose. Those empty stats don’t mean squat.

Exactly. Ruder just hasn’t been accurate enough when it mattered. Our run game has been pedestrian and they keep calling that same run up the middle. WRs are not helping at all with more drops and three penalties. Way too many WR screens.

Year 6 nothing will change, SL has his binder and will not change

Burns is still busting his ass. Love the effort.

Did Simpson play at all today? He was out hurt last week, I know it was 50/50 today. I have a feeling he was hurt. 

[UNTLifer]

Terrible throw when you need one yard.

Fairly certain he had Pirtle underneath

Holy shit Littrell is an embarrassment.

[denton_days]

Truly do this this is from the top down. We’ve haven’t really been a well coach team. Year after year we fail to bring ourselves together enough to mount a comeback, always dealing with injuries, crashing under pressure, and always dealing with flags. Seth is a fantastic OC and can do great things in the future, but he’s not cut as a head coach. Lots of padded stats and getting carried to mediocrity by an all time QB who could step up when needed.

Wide open a yard past the marker

Burns has been great but they need to sit him before he gets hurt too.

[eeeeagle]

this one hurts. All in all, its a failure on Litterell and offense to not take advantage of opportunities SMU gifted us. Should've been up way more than 6 points in the first half.

We made it a game for 3 1/3 quarters.

On the bright side of things, we ARE improving as a team despite tonight's result. Only thing that is becoming more and more clear to me is that Litterell is NOT the guy to get us over the hump after this season.

Still a lot of season to play, but this is yet another tally in the lose column for Litterell where he could've made a huge statement win.

He did and threw it away. Horrible. 

[untbowler]

why are we angry SL is going to have a Top 10 Offense juggernaut when it comes to yardage, 470 yds and counting this game, just ignore the 12 pts

Yeah it was like he passed it up looking for something better and that never happened. Followed by a delay of game penalty 🤦‍♂️

Seth Littrell is the curse of Rick Villarreal on us.
