We lost because instead of taking the chip-shot field goal in the 2nd quarter we had a running QB throwing passes deep in the red zone.

So instead of being up by two scores with the ball with less than three minutes to play, we're only up one score and needing another.

And when we needed to burn clock, we put the ball in the hands of our third-string running back who's had fumbling issues all camp instead of our first-string thumper of a running back.

I mean, yeah - that play followed the false start? Or maybe it didn't.

But it still stands: two false starts inside their 5. We should have had 21 points on the board.

Ya'll are overreacting placing this on Rhule/Coaches.

Sure, they share some blame. But the vast majority can be credited to our QB throwing 2 inexcusable pics and our first string back fumbling late in the game.  Simply cannot have team leaders make blunders like this.

Anthony Grant isn't the 1st string RB.... he's not because he's had fumble issues all spring. He's listed as the #3 back on the depth chart and what's he do.....FUMBLES.....no s#!t?! 

 
New regime, same identity: dumb football.

- Four turnovers.

- No points on a drive where we're on the 1-yard line.

- Lose in a typical Riley/Frost finish (i.e., tie game late in the fourth where we have the ball.... 90% of teams win the game with this situation).

Dumbest team in the FBS of the past decade, and apparently going forward.

Sims is not it in my opinion.  I tried to think he would be better than the first time i saw him in GT but he's worse, he only threw 2 INT's that game.

He was not good at Tech and looks worse here.   Why the f$&& can a Nebraska QB just not turn the ball over?   Like,  maybe just one year please.   Sims sucks, Purdy played awful last year and until this team has a competent QB, the team with not have a winning season.  Simple as that.   

 
What I’m hoping for is that Rhule sh*ts the bed so egregiously that we find a coach, and maybe we can get somebody that knows how to win a f*ckin’ football game 

 
Once again we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. But that's the lingering old culture. It's going to take time. These things are hard to change but they can change. I have confidence. And I have faith. Yes this sucks but it's not the end.
