SMU Game Thread

[tuharvard]

All we are doing is running 12 yard curls. Every single time we pass. They've been sitting on it and it was only a matter of time before they picked one.

Just do not understand our obsession with the curl route tonight. It's weird. But no matter the route, you simply cannot do the same thing over & over without the opponent catching on & adjusting.

 

[TU Pilot]

A handful of the calls were stupid, but the vast majority are legit and result from no discipline and the players not having their heads in this game.

 

[TUGrad06]

I'm sorry but the play calling is just suffering this year. I agree Dane is struggling too but the play calling is not the same.

The play calling is really bad. Short curls or runs up the middle. That's it.

 

[madlew]

Maybe if we don't stink we wouldn't need to focus on the refs.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

This is smu.

No whining about refs.

 

[HuffyCane]

I'm effing sick of them repeating themselves. The trash can. The RB being a backup QB. It's like they spent two hours on preproduction for this game.

 

[TUGrad06]

Our amazing super great 5th year QB could have 50 rushing yards tonight if he knew how to run the read option.

 

[TU Pilot]

And stop trying to pin this all on Dane. Yes, he threw an INT and has overthrown his receivers, but the receivers have also dropped several good balls thrown their way and run incorrect routes. They are not performing as a team. Also, the SMU defense is No. 10 in the country right now for forcing turnovers so one INT isn't that terrible considering that.

 

[TU_BLA]

Good response. Flanders seems to give us a boost every time he is primary RB for a series

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Who even are these announcers?

 

[TUGrad06]

Thank goodness for a good Oline and 2 great RBs.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I love our scrappy RBs.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I don't disagree Pilot.

Lucas is clearly affected by hearing those footsteps closing on him now. Carter I don't know.

 

[TU 1978]

Thank god for Flanders and Brewer.

Ok everyone come off the ledge and talk about how good we are now since we took the lead.

Some of the people on this board are the worst kind of fair weather.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I'm not fair weather.

I'm still probably going to get into a fight at Houston next week when we're down 30.

Dane is a senior. It may not be all his fault, of course, but he hasn't played like a senior all season. Shouldn't be too much to ask.

Annnndddddd we're back.

It's less fair weather than it is care too much.

The INT was Dane's fault. Poor throw. That's the only thing I am saying. He's played OK otherwise. As a whole we have been careless tonight. Too many penalties.

We still need a damn kicker for KOs

I wasn't talking to you goofball - and I wouldn't be shocked to hear that kind of story! Lol

 

[TU Hurricane Warning]

Zit seriously you the 2006 grad should go sit on an island and play grab azz while you talk crap on your football team.

 

[JesseTU]

There's an option to that read? He has not pulled it once this game, not even once to keep them honest.

We still need a damn returner for KOs.

If all else fails, I've got losing Herman and no Big XII expansion to make new Coog friends about.

 

[TU 1978]

WTF is wrong with these officials? They need to be drug tested.

 

[panicstricken]

another crucial penalty

if we lose this its on the coach

 

[TUBballJunkie]

We just tied a school record guys!!

17 penalties.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

No more fancy uniforms. Too distracting.

Muu muus from now on.

 

[RealTUTypical]

I would love to have an IP checker on this board. I have a feeling 3 or 4 posters are from the same computer...

 

[madlew]

Zit just expects better than this. We all should. Horrible

 

[TUBballJunkie]

COME ON D!!!!

 

[TUGrad06]

I see a PI call on us on this 4th down.

 

[jesterondirt]

4th and 5, I bet Morris goes for the endzone

 

[jesterondirt]

Damn

 

[RealTUTypical]

Zit just expects better than this. We all should. Horrible

Whatever you say madlewZit06...

 

[RealTUTypical]

Miss it!!!

 

[bigzit]

Why did Monty not call a TO???????? What a moron. Tulsa could have 35 seconds left w 1 timeout.

SMU is bad.

 

[HuffyCane]

The color guy is a full time Orlando cop. Played college football at UMass. Been with ESPN3 for 4 years. This is his first televised game. They sent the D team apparently

 

[bigzit]

Tulsa had 2 weeks to prepare for this one, right?
Better open up holes line!!!!
