The easy dropped 75 yd TD was the game. Next play we try to run and lose yardage, next play give up a sack..... 3 & out, and it was over.

What a waste of a really good MAC QB.

MAC is there for the taking this year as well, which is the really tough part. One of the supposed best teams (Toledo) loses to one of the supposed worst teams (BG) today, 20-7.

This was the year, and Creighton knew it......thus the body language issues people have mentioned here recently. He is now resigned to his fate. Team is officially going backwards.

Graduating QB so good time to start with a new OC. Second, fix the problems in the OL's & DL's.

With this league, every game from here on out is winnable, and every game can be lost. On to the Broncos.

Tough you are once again on point. Creighton got dealt a bad deck of cards with respect to MAC scheduling in prior years, with all of the powers appearing early. Like you say, however, this was THE YEAR and a probable 5-1 record is now 3-3 cruising into the best opponents the next two weeks. 3-5 smells too familiar.

Again as you pointed out all games from here on out are winnable. I'm not ready to flush the season. Still one has to wonder why Shaq Vann's most productive season was his first and we have not established any kind of rushing attack in the Creighton era.

Games are 'winnable'......but I certainly don't think this team will be winning many more. 1st game I watched closely throughout, this year. The OLine is just really bad in the run game. Slow out of their stances and no push whatsoever. Nearly every run play the DLinemen are the aggressors and pushing our guys around and blowing right into whatever gaps they want. There are simply no holes or running lanes for the RB's, it's embarrassing. How many weeks are the offensive coaches going to sit there in the film room with these guys, watch them get blown up, and march the exact same guys right back out there? I would literally bench ALL of them next week, and I can almost guarantee we'd see a better result, simply because the effort and fire of the new guys would be taken up a notch.

DLine I think is giving more effort, but the juice just isn't there. Our giant inside guys are basically all the same.....run stuffing guys without the athleticism to shoot gaps and get TFL's, or push the pocket and get pressure up the middle. The DE's just get swallowed up and disappear. Zero pressure on the QB. Our LB's and DB's basically have to make all the tackles.

Not trying to be negative Johnny, but the tape......and the last 3 results don't lie.

Hoping for a miracle upset next week. Again, with some turnovers and lucky bounces anything can happen in this conference this year.
