I feel sorry for Charlie. That was just a complete blow up by the offense. Kudos to the defense for most of the game.

Yea I feel for him. He just mentioned they considered playing heard after the struggles.
No point in burning rs at this point

 

[Lukus Alderman]

Strong looked really frustrated...obviously understandable.

Very telling when you avg 2.1 yds per carry against the number 5 team in the Country. Unless you have a guy at QB that can hang the moon, 2.1 avg rushing yds is not gonna help. The D played well enough to allow us to compete. We got stops, we just didn't answer with scores. OLine has just been in a very tough position all year and as i have said before so goes your OLine, so goes your year as far as Offense is concerned. I know Swoopes is gonna get hammered, but guys unless you have a running game, it's brutal on a QB that is in his first year of game time experience. We have no other answer at this point, so you ride what you have. Turnovers killed us, and not answering with scores eliminated us.

I will say that the game has and will continue to change as far as recruiting "length" these days. A 6'4" receiver has a huge advantage on a 5'10" Corner. Two things you can't coach, speed and length. 2 things you CAN recruit, speed and length. 

Coach Strong knows the medicine that is needed, and he will go get it. He's a a very fine coach and he will get it done!

Good stuff, Shannon. It's not all on Swoopes. While he was bad, so was the rest of the offense. It was a team effort.

Swoopes does not have the mental ability to play quarterback at this level. Can he learn it? Maybe. But I would not burn Heard's red shirt now. Play a walk on if we have to. The kind of performance we witnessed tonight by the offense must not be repeated.

Our quarterback looked lost out there most of the game. He cannot see the field and he cannot be decisive. Sad. Lots of physical ability, but no mental ability.

The backs only had 2.1 yrds per carry because TCU had 8 men in the box the whole game daring Swoopes to beat them. I'm sure Swoopes is a good kid and bless his heart for getting thrown into this but Heard will be the starting QB next year. If not right away, I say before the ou game.

The D played well except for Diggs. You have to feel for Diggs because he has been one of the better defensive players all year.

Diggs was great. Dropping the interception was caused by looking to run before he caught the ball. He should have fielded the punt. Sad to see that happen. He has been a great player and a great leader. Doctson was 6 inches taller. He played the balls well, but was just not tall enough.

I really appreciate what he has meant to our team this year.
