16 points given up by the defense. That should be enough to win. Offense didn’t get it done. Spotty O-line and inconsistent QB play finally came back to bite them.

Going by what Barry and Jerry were saying, no video feed on my end

Gunnar is not the answer. I would be shocked if the coaches bench him.

First much good as gunner did tonight he did equally as much bad to hurt the team! I like him a lot he’s been a fighter, but his decision making seems to hurt us in the long run! Next weeks game is going to be really difficult also!

The entire final drive we ran the ball 0 times.

It looked like grounding to me They called that consistently against us both. I agree

Lot of football left. We can win the conference, no doubt in my mind.
We were average tonight. If we play a tad better, we win.
Never give up!

Next weeks game is going to be really difficult also! That’s my biggest issue, he’s not consistently one way or the other for a whole game. He has moments that look really good the just stalls out.

This one hurt. Frustrating loss, sad opening to conference play.

Why throw on the last third down??! Run and set up the field goal and run time off the clock. Just dumb.

Missed FG also and we win the game

Heck of a game by our defense but you can’t play as inconsistent on offense as we do and win every game. We still have 7 SBC games left.
So what? Now what?

Even though he missed the field goal why not let him try again and kick a walk off 55 yarder Also why not 3 run plays up the middle to secure a field goal attempt! With that said this is the first game I think I have ever seen with negative rush yards. You can’t win if you can’t run the ball , bottom line

Sad Trojan. I hope that coach speaks to some of the things that we all see are issues. There's a lot that hurt us tonight but...there was also a lot of "wow" moments on the defense particularly. This could've been a beating. Instead it was a competitive, gut-wrenchingly fun game.
And it's no excuse for a loss but I wish officiating was more consistent and in some realm of "good".

Set up the field goal like any normal staff would do.

24/46 for Gunner, 11 rushing yards for Vidal. Wonder why we didn’t win? Can’t blame the defense. Let’s be fair, last year we found a way to win in close games. The competition is better now. The West is better. USA beat a Big 12 team. Hell, Texas State is even better. We can’t be competitive in this division with defense alone. TMTDM is solid but we played like the front porch men’s room on offense. Cold and splashed with piss.

The way we’ve played over the last 3 games, I say we win 4 of those and maybe split our out of conference games. If the coaches get to work turning the offense around and making some tweaks to the defense then we could end the regular season 10-2. I’m hoping for the later but expecting the former.

If I’m Not mistaken we lost the turnovers as well. Pretty sure we had 1 and they had none!

This game cost Sumrall millions in future salary. It’s toughness that is required.

Please elaborate on how this cost him Millions. Is that because you think his star is not shining as bright as it was last year?
