Another Road Loss

[JoeB]

Hey, I'm just pointing out facts.  Yes we won on the road last week, but this week we lost on the road.  

Rezz, check yourself when you turn on other Bulls fans.

I cant believe those are big east refs, like that 45 yd run that was called back. they reran it and the announcers criticized it,and they were pro kansas. last week, I thought  there were a few bad calls. I hope Im wrong and my eyes (and heart) deceived me.

i'm not scared to turn on a bulls "fan"

we will have PLENTY in 10 years.

and if he really is a fan then do you think he will listen to me?  of course not.

3 key mistakes which I saw cost us the game:

1) Inability to get points on the first drive, that was really deflating after moving ball all the way down the field.

2)  Offense was moving in secong half, but the fumble by Walt Smith, and the penalty on that 45 yard reception killed drives.

3) Ean should have hung on to ball in the waning seconds going down the sideline at around the 5 yard line, that would have given us a legit chance to score even if he doesn't make it in.

Just some observations I saw, in addition to the others already discussed.  I thought Matt played pretty well and would have finished some drives in the 2nd half if not for miscues (fumble, penalties)

team played with great effort

and will need more next week

hope we have a better defensive gameplan,

note to OC smith: stop taking the ball out of your playmakers hands

SFF...just leave now.  please.  you arent a real bulls fan.  bring your gators shirt out of the closet

Excuse you with that blasphemy on the Gaytors. F them! I'm not a fan because I offered a realistic opinion on where our team is right now?  We got dominated in the game by a team who isn't that good. We reverted back to the silly mistakes that have plagued us (bad penalties at the worst times being at the top of the list). We gave up way too many 3rd down conversion (many with 3rd and 8 or longer) and that has happened a good deal this season. Pardon me for thinking that we have some major things to fix before the Rutgers game.

I feel bad for Matt because he almost did it again tonight. Ean should have had the one at the 5 and one on a drive before that. The picks weren't his fault. Taurus stopped his route at the end of the first half when the DB came close and the other was at the end of the game.

The loss of Ponton and Plancher is looking like it worse than we once thought.

Thank the Lord that Coach pulled PJ when he did, and put GrothE in because he is definately the best player on the field...

He might even be our best punter!

You said a mouthful

We had them... but we need a running game

another fallacy

our ol doesnt seem to be opening holes

we had andre hall last year and won only 6 games

our scheme isnt conducive to running

[smazza]

lack of running game hurt us.

maybe-we couldnt run it from inside 10 yard line 4times.our problem is the line not the rb

dropped passes

penalties

not taking 3 points

not putting pressure on ku's qb

never leave points on the field

should have kicked field goal

why run ball up middle 4 times when we have no running game
