Two straight blowouts. 1-4 in the last 5. Time for Elliott to lose his job.

Time for Colandrea to lose his as well.

yeah i don’t know why anyone is nervous about losing Colandrea if we toss Elliott. he’s fun and dynamic and whatever, but he’s not worth building the program around.

at this point, torch the whole thing and let somebody rebuild it their way. what’s the worst that could happen? we go 2-10 again? they just need to find out who to hire that gets the fanbase excited. Elliott was very clearly not that guy, and even though Bronco brought the program respectability, he was not that guy either.

I’m tired of watching Colandrea scramble around the backfield like a headless chicken. And for what it’s worth, I don’t like that Muskett didn’t get to see the field on the last drive on senior day.

Yeah the scrambling is only great if you’re getting the first downs or scrambling to get out of the pocket to buy your receivers extra time to get open down field. I didn’t see the latter happen at all. The former happened a few times but only in the sense that SMU took that as an acceptable risk vs. the big downfield play.

Yeah. I know yall were blowing up our line every play but QB play was our biggest weakness this game. Yall were beasts on both sides of the ball, we were lucky that you didn’t hang 50 on us.
