Like I said before, for a program that hangs its hat on the intelligence and diligence of its players and on the experience of its coaching staff, we sure don't act the part on the field.

Look at Army for example, who's in a semi-similar boat. Sure, they're not as good as they were last season and they run a different scheme, but I don't recall ever seeing this kind of sloppiness from them.

EXECUTION

FG good UND, at least we have a minute and three timeouts

WOWWWW

UND with one timeout left

Now put it out the back of the endzone

WE'RE GOING FOR IT

FOURTH DOWN TD

I'm excited for the run for 1 up the middle on the first play

HOW ARE WE STILL IN THIS GAME

Only option is a pooch kick though. Pretty sure we wouldn't attempt a FG there

I didn't even see any aggie receivers near the area

OK, great field position with tons of time. NOW don't turn it over

I kinda am actually. We have the ball, need to rest up the D because we're gonna depend on them for the stop, we have way more timeouts than UND, might as well burn clock

Interception UND

PICK!!!!

Good pressure on the QB too for once

It's been like this in the whole Hawkins era, nothing new.

Playcalling has been unconventional but has it ever been actually great? The whole offense seems to be based on big plays bailing out the ones that go nowhere

I'm sure it will be on the highli...oh

Got the stop though, that's improvement.

Missed tackle on the QB and he gets the first to kill an otherwise good defensive stand.

I don't care if we're smaller and slower. I mean I do but I understand. But I do care a lot about sloppiness. If we're going to trumpet the massive experience of our coaching staff and how smart and hardworking our players are -- and we definitely do, and I do believe both those things are generally true -- then we need to actually show it through excellent performance.

PREECE TD

GIANT pass to CC after the fake.

We need to be in this mode the whole game to stand a chance against high scoring teams
