For the love of God, can we learn to defend the slant next year?!?

We're probably gonna be solid under dogs in any of the bowl match ups I've seen for UAB. Not what the players or the fans might want but our best chance to get a win this bowl season is likely at home in the Birmingham Bowl.

I’m down for the Bham bowl. We’ve earned it after today.

Probably Nola and we want absolutely nothing to do with App State, that’s why it looks like from the outside looking in that we ducked them last year.

Ole Miss Sharks just can't wait till Monday

We did duck them last year. And personally, I want no part of them this year either!

I agree QB is a big issue right now.

I just call it the sophomore jinx. I think Tyler will be fine next year if coached properly.

I’m good with the bham bowl

I liked the Bham bowl but theres a good chance we would play a pretty good AAC team in it. Personally I think a more competitive match up would be one of the games against a mid tier MWC team.

Take the boca bowl again. FAU doesnt want it although we will probably wind up getting it again

Remember he had a serious shoulder issue to start his career. Just judging from the noticeable regression in arm strength we saw to start the season, I can’t help but wonder if it’s bothering him again.
Add in the knee injury he got this season and the dude just isn’t healthy enough to judge him fairly

Didn't know about the serious shoulder injury. It clearly affected him this season. Hopefully it's not a permanent issue or otherwise Dylan may be our starter next year.

My big takeaway from the game is that as much as I like our Defense, the FAU defense was noticeably faster and had more length than ours. FAU’s offense was obviously light years ahead of ours, and some of that is scheme but a lot of it was the online/qb injuries we’ve dealt with all year.

Actually now that I think about it, it was his throwing elbow, not the shoulder. The shoulder injury was Erdley.

Had Johnston been in good shape, etc. he would have started over Hopkins. There's something we don't know going on.

With that said we were toasted yesterday regardless of who was QB.

Add in a blocked punt and lots of penalties & it is a tad high hill to have to climb.

Don't discount Lucero coming off a redshirt either. He needs experience, but should be a solid player.
