Well hopefully they take away the gtd top 4 spots ASAP.

That would help us...would've/should've been hosting in Knoxville.

Also don't lose to Arky.

But these road playoff games (especially on the coldest weekend of the entire year and at night) are always going to be very tough. Vs top 3 talent and that was just a tough ask.

Best thing moving forward, don't land in that position again. Just get us at least on a neutral site and we'll be fine.

I don't think any team beats that OSU team anywhere they play the game.. the score would've been closer but the outcome most likely the same.

Call me crazy, I think OSU was fine losing to Michigan & getting that extra week to prep for round 1.

They knew they were gonna host regardless & Chip Kelly revamped play calling. They will have something for Oregon I think.

I think Inge has been pretty good. I think the gap created from losing pili created was a lot bigger than we could over come. Carter is really good by he needs a running mate. Telander, good player... Not fast enough. Safety was bad. Good effort from Brooks and jacobe... But both were exposed by much more athletic play.

And I don't think we called a defensive game to really attack the biggest weakness with our biggest strength.... The decisions and method we choose to show/hide pressure was not creative and we did exactly what we did against UGA and they too have a QB that's capable of dropping dimes to elite wrs. And that's what they did.

Just a really frustrating game to watch. And I do think for the first time that we might need to really evaluate what some of these coaches' celeings are, and if they've reached them. We weren't competitive. And if heupel was smart he would look at the result of this game the same way Fulmer looked at the result of that orange bowl against Nebraska in 97.

All I’ll know is that wasn’t the team I watched all year.

All I know is that we haven’t lost that horribly since South Carolina.

All I know is that the cold was a factor.

Fans talking trash online had nothing to do with us getting our ass beat. If our own team couldn’t find their own reasons to get up and be energized for this game then we are more mentally soft than I thought. Fans will be fans. Our players shouldn’t need motivation to play well in do or die games.

What did we do against the elite competition? That’s the benchmark. This sounds like a Cignetti from IU comment after feasting off a weak schedule.

One will never be the best by fooling themself with stats built off inferior proxies.

It amazes me that people think the guy is anywhere near a competent DC. He's a joke.

I am also excited for the Peyton Lewis era man, he stays healthy & I think that dude could break the records Dylan set this year.

LB play has been rough, I think Inge will fix that. He was stuck with who he had from previous recruiting. He is bringing in 3 players that could all be instant contributors. Spillman will also make noise next year. This year was about Pili & Carter and unfortunately Pili couldn’t stay healthy.

10-3 in a bit of a rebuild year is a positive. But I do think we’re gonna be in this same boat for a while unless Heupel adjust his offense and/or he upgrades the staff.
