As bad as the D was, it was the turnovers that put the nail in it. Gave up 3 scores off of TOs.

If by "they" you mean the O line, then I respectfully disagree. I think our O line has definitely taken a step or two backwards from what used to be a nasty, tough & proud unit. Even before injuries they just didn't impress me much. What Hunt got, particularly the last few games, was largely due to his heart & effort. Tonight, for example, he was almost always hit at or behind the line of scrimmage but kept churning--that's not because a hole was opened by the O line.

I have to give all the credit in the world to Hunt tonight. The only chance we had to win tonight was the kind of effort he played with tonight. He was a warrior and played with the heart of a Lion. I would show the fillm of his effort tonight to every one of my teams, if I was the Candle, to show players what it takes to win. It's a shame not enough Rockets followed his lead tonight.

This O-line is OK, it just that we have been spoiled by truly outstanding O-line overs the past several years and this one is just OK not but not truly outstanding.

All losses are disappointing but at least this one was expected and the Rockets were 9 point underdogs whereas the in their last three November losses that cost them shots at two MACC were devastating because the were favored in those games (and/or certain were in a position to win them). If this team can win its bowl game it will pretty much have played up to its potential whereas last year's team fell way short of its potential by its poor November play....but at least it regrouped for a nice bowl win.

Wasn't really anything to be happy about with this game, but I guess this is a silver lining. Maybe.
