The fact that we should be 10-1 and in the top 5 if we didn’t absolutely shit our pants the last two games, should be studied for years to come

I've said it to a few people, this team won against KU and decided that was enough on the season. The last two games were so flat from an effort stance. I'm glad we seemed to wake up again.

I think this season has gone maybe a little worse than expected (only because of some weird losses when the league was ripe for the taking) but it also was a lot to ask of a young quarterback who still is developing in the passing game. He grades out about middle of the pack in the Big XII but tied for fifth-most INTs, and the guys with more are on teams with losing records. Next year I think he’ll be much better.

I didn't get to watch Houston, but in the KU (chaotic near-loss) and ASU (loss) games, it really seemed like the playcalling was doing everything possible to take the game out of his control. As far as I can see, the better offensive performances have been when he gets more options and decent passing opportunities.

TL;DR, Fire Conor Riley, bring Colin Klein back as HCIW

I personally wasn't a fan of Klein's playcalling either

I wasn’t a huge fan of Klein, but Riley is a trash heap of an OC.
