Apparently, the intelligent folks stayed home and enjoyed their day.

I was watching the sideline all game. Everyone looked lost - players and coaches. Zero energy. So, I’d say yes, they quit.

We had a great tailgate and enjoyed the lovely weather. Left at the end of third quarter.

Great to meet you HawaiitoNIU!

The good news is that the players won,t get poached by another D1 team.

Some will and they will be better off that being a part of the gongshow

This staff is awful. All hammock guys. They can’t coach for ****.

The players suck, but the coaches are putting them out there. Smith was OK at safety, Armstrong saw the bench today. Lindo is still Lindo…PI, getting cooked, bad angles. Is what it is.

Total reset in coming and we are all ready for it.

The screen pass was some of the most shocking defending I have ever seen seen

It looked like guys running in to blocks and guys having zero awareness they were released by the OLine. Just an awful defense.

Harley is in charge of that still, yes? Has anyone questioned why he still calls it from the field when they are getting cooked by everyone?

The complete lack of awareness by anyone on the line that it could possibly have been a screen was unreal. That has nothing to do with talent. You want to blame you? Maybe. What it really is, is a coaching issue.

Young guys who NEVER pressure are so suspect to a screen They believe they are finally making a play, but are being suckered/played. Everyone thought he made a great swim move and were going in for a sack. ...but just got air.

LOL. That literally might be the single worst team defense against a simple play that I have ever seen. Apparently, not a single player on our defense had ever seen a screen pass prior to yesterday. That was absolutely inexcusable.
