Lets not forget that they shouldn't have gotten the ball back after the half... Players need to put posters of this game up in the locker room and see if the coaches tear them down!!!

A lot of this game was on the coaches. We wouldn't have seen some of those mistakes even under Mack.
I am conflicted with being proud of our players. Two penalties on punts, two holding penalties on same offensive lineman, up by 4 and defensive back let's receiver tub by him, we recover a fumble then drop a pass and can't pass block, too many missed tackles. It was a complete tea. And coaching loss. I am sad.

Don't anyone blame the coaches. They can't be on the field.
UCLA and BYU both have better athletes that we do overall.
Our kids played one Hell of a game, but fell short. There were mistakes, sure. But I am proud of how they competed tonight, even if they made mistakes.
Swoopes doing so well bodes well for future games. He will get better. Let's hope the receivers do as well.
Of course, the offensive line is still very much a work in progress. We just need more experience and better athletes there. That will come with time.
The back seven on defense still needs to improve a lot.
If I were an outstanding high school player, Texas would be my choice because if I am any good at all, I will get to play. And soon.
Better days are coming.

The kids made mistakes but I am proud of their play... We lack some discipline on the field which is the coaches area to adjust... IMO this was a horribly coached game and it because from the retard play of the year giving UCLA the ball to start and at the half! Clock management was horrible... We made zero adjustments at the half. Zero. Doesn't work well when the other team doesn't agree to also not make adjustments.
100% with you Lukus,
Opening Flip,
Not matching UCLA Adjustments, big time
Swoopes fine game, but coaching not keeping D honest with Mid range or deeper passes
much more but too tired to list

With all due respect... Neither of those teams have better talent than us. Talent isn't the issue... BYU having better talent than us is ridiculous. We lacked coaching before this year, hence the regime change... IMHO tonight pointed to some glaring coaching issues. Up 4 with roughly 4 mins left and we maintained the ball for roughly 30 seconds... Horrible play calling... I agree the kids didn't play great ball but the coaches did them no favors... Thats just how I saw it.
nope. The pedicure is very masculine, but if your feminine side beckons, add the burnt orange.
I agree, sir. I don't think our fans understand what a 'process' is. Saban and Harbaugh would have driven them nuts. Either of them would have looked at these people with a smug smile that says, "You airheads, keep doing what you are doing, and I'll keep doing what I'm doing, and we will see who wears a National Championship ring first. Gotta go to practice, nice chatting."
Tell our fans it's a process, and they instantly think about baking a cake. Takes about three hours start to finish.
Honestly, guys! Now, go get a pedicure. Sheesh.
