Well we held on ...

[Bulls On Parade]

Sleeping on it...We destroyed Tulane after 3 quarters then team shut it down.

Ill take that over a close game all night I guess.

CCS has no killer instinct like Taggart so team shows it.

Only, it turned into a very close game. All it would have taken is for McCants to have muffed that on-side kick recovery, or for our super-Q to have come up short of a conversion on that last drive. D was tired and getting down, I think we would have lost by one point. I watched it all (it was tough), but when the last kneel was done it was a sigh of relief, not a shout for joy. I thought for a glimmering moment that we might just punch it in on them just to show them how silly it was for them to think they could come all the way back on us, but oh yeah...right...nevermind.

I started out the game with wide eyes and an un-erasable grin that stayed through 2 & 1/2 quarters. There was some great magic there, but then the magician inexplicably packed all his tricks into a box, locked it, then began telling stories for the rest of the show. It was sorta entertaining, but mostly painful and not what I came to see.

I think that describes this season well.

Pretty much sums up the season. Feels like we're dodging bullets, not firing them.

We opened the season with some ugly games.... this is just another one...

Did any of you actually watch the 4th quarter to come to your conclusions about taking the foot off the gas, turtling, just holding on..etc? I would have liked to see us win by 30 instead of a single score, but never did I get worried about the offense. Here are our drives after going up 34-7, please tell me where we went conservative and played to not lose the game. As a bucs fan under dungy I know what a conservative offense looks like.

Drive 1 -Started at our own 20. Drove to the Tulane 30 before an atrocious call by the refs (15 yrd clipping) took us from 1st and 10 to 3rd and 13. We tried a intermediate pass to TE Wilcox for the first down, Fluke INT bounced off a guys foot.

Drive 2- Start at midfield drive to Tulane 30 again. Take 2 deep shots to endzone incomplete. Missed FG by Nadelman.

Drive 3- Start at own 20. Convert 3rd down with Flowers run, but holding on Wilcox makes it 3rd and 16 from our own 15. We run a safe draw for 1 yard. This is the one time I'll admit it was conservative but at this point we were up 20pts still with 11 minutes left in the game. I'd say 90% of offensive coordinators make the same call. Please tell me you all are not basing your conclusions for the entire quarter off of this one play. This was our only punt in the 2nd half btw.

Drive 4- Start at midfield. Drive to 1st and goal from the 8. Another blown call by refs back us up to the 23. Not many play calls for goal to go from the 23. Blocked fg.

Drive 5- Start at midfield. Drive to 1st and goal from the 9. Kneel out the game.

Defense completely disappeared in the fourth quarter. Tulane scored on every possession. This is not going to cut it. Yes, I know we are 7 - 0 but you can kiss the conference title goodbye this team is not good enough.

I’m glad you’re from the future to save me the disappointment.

They may not beat Houston and they certainly won't beat UCF.

 

So what happens if they win?

Taggart was auditioning for his next job, he didn’t care about sportsmanship in this conference.

I’m really glad someone saw it. That interception was extremely fluky and you don’t expect two FGs to not be made. Refs were HORRIBLE all night long. And you know what? They didn’t let them lose the game. Tulane ISN'T BAD. Remember when SMU best Houston last year?

We win a game most of you complain like we lost.

Pathetic

Blocked FG.... ugly kick blocking rears its ugly head putting the game in jeapordy....
