leaving the field and talking to a radio reporter--- CJS reveals the trick is that we need to score touchdowns and not FGs.

We pay millions of dollars a year for that expert coaching.

All we got to do is score more points then the other team and we'll be alright

No it wasn't. The lack of football IQ on here is astounding at times. BYU has 3 timeouts. We get the ball to start the second. They are more likely to score than we are there. He took the shot on first down. 

What good is their timeouts if we go down and put points on the board?

"We got to get touchdowns instead of field goals."   He is a pro at coach speak for sure

I remember reading somewhere that they were touted as being the strength of the team, though...

I'm pretty sure we lost a couple we were depending on

Dline should be our #1 priority. They are so small, can’t run stop, or get pressure on the qb. 

Turrible

We could start our own Mons Venus and have the student body strip for tickets and some chedda 

That's a plan I can get behind

Memphis about to go down

I want them all to loose…sorry can’t help it. 

I'm fine with that, but it sure makes our conference look bad and us even worse

Memphis UTSA now tied .... Geez our conference sucks

$4500 or so per year for 2 seats? I’m out.

You and probably a large portion of our season ticket base

Bowling Green beats Minnesota .... first FBS since 2019 ... coincidence .... I think not.   Go Bulls!  We break this streak tonight!

I think UMass is the only win left on FSU’s schedule…

also either Clemson is a fraud or that NC State loss is making a little more sense

A fraud?  They lost to UGA and squeaked past Ga Tech

So how much of a chance does our defense stand? Are they moving more through the air or on the ground? 

I don't know about our defense, but our offense should be able to put up some points

Only 1 team passing TD through 3 games, puts us on pace for 4 in the season. Right now the least we've ever had is 7 in 2013. There's a record...

But for anyone discouraged about how we are looking...we we're a lot worse that year and still beat a 9 win Cincy team. Lord knows Jeff Scott could use an out of nowhere quality win

True, some universities do it across the board. We are now in catch-up mode maybe it will work out at some point in the future. I reflect back a number of years when we were in the conversation but like you pointed out, football lost focus. Watching UCF Houston Cincy move ahead and reap the benefits of their efforts is a tough pill to swallow. Not to mention, tens of millions of dollars lost revenue into athletics annually. It is what it is... 

I just can't help feel that there was a concerted effort to minimize football's importance starting with the firing of CJL.

I brought this up before when Trips started in about donors not stepping up for athletics.  We have not hurt for donations to our University as evidenced by the growth and the endowment, it just hasn't been directed towards growing athletics and the football program specifically.   If the powers that be wanted to raise more money for athletics, it could have been done and perhaps they are ready to do that now or at least those making the decision on who the next President is may be ready to get it done .... we hope

Well at least we're not projected as last

Mangham TD runs are 1, 2, 2, 7, and 9.    He's been a finisher

I believe so as are all the pictures of the place packed and rocking and where the B12 banners will be flown

We should supply pirate ships ... or do we not have an OCO (on campus ocean)?

I hope to God you're right but I'm not seeing where they come from.  Tulsa and Temple at home are our best chances.

But is it though?  Why is it depressing?  What is depressing is we have never won a FB championship in any conference.  Let's start there before worrying about what conference we are in and who we are playing.  I could give a **** less what conference we are in if we aren't competitive.  Start winning and winning championships and the rest will work itself out.  If we can't win a championship, then all 2198 pages of this thread are pointless.

Maybe there is a high school conference we can join?
