More heartbroken than angry.  We had no business even being in position to win that game.  I don't think a single player on our team would start for them.  If there's one or two that's the max.  We outplayed them most of the way.  Critical mistakes at critical moments though.  Just rips your guts out.

This explains my feelings so well. Out of likes, so take my response as your trophy. I truly feel bad for these players.

Go watch the post game press conference CHF said he liked the play call with the rushing 2 men...so say whatever you want about Roberts, HF thought it was the right call. CHF plays not to lose vs plays to win...seen that all year....

Yep. Saw it under Gus as well. Scared ball is losing ball.

100%. So many problems this year have landed squarely at the coaches’ feet. They should answer for them. 

Guy, WE HAVE NO HORSES TO BE RACING WITH. There’s not a coaching staff in all of college football that can overcome our lack of talent. The guys fought hard, played well…right up to the point where the outcome was on the line. Couldn’t finish. Refused to take the game. Don’t know how to win. Time to load up on those who can.

Also if u been watching Milroe throughout the year is a better deep ball thrower than intermediate

This proves to me this team clearly overlooked NMSU. A lot of mishaps and boneheaded players by players and coaches. It is what it is. Hopefully that was enough strong atmosphere for the recruits.

No, he’s playing big boy football with little boys. Give it a couple of years.

Why do the horses not want to come here?

[TitanTiger 20,542]

I didn't hate the defensive play call at the end either.  Blanket the end zone with 8 DBs playing zone and make Milroe make a 30 yard throw into a mesh of coverage.  He threw a prayer up to the corner when the guy wasn't even open.  He was just hoping maybe he'd win a jump ball and our guy didn't do his job.

Milroe wasn't gonna run it in from the 31, so there was no reason not to pressure him.  Just a dumb defensive play call.

You want him to at least scramble and hurry his throw. It's insane to give him all night to stand there and wait until a receiver can run around and get open. Dumb is not a strong enough word to describe that play call.

You have to go get em. Gus nor  Harsin achieved that.

I just wish our players were also coached for IQ smart football. There was also time to instruct the DBs if you feel like your lost, grab the WR. It is not a spot foul. Just live to play another down.

Or maybe the guy he threw it to did his job.

Again there still have to be some coaching involved. Otherwise Jimbo would still be employed .

Great defense overall.  Horrendous decision not to force a run a the last play.

I didn’t like the call because I don’t like given Milroe so much time to scan the field and set and throw but I agree with you otherwise. Simple lack of execution on the given play call.

Bad hire... anyone that won't admit the abject stupidity of that decision is too damn dumb to coach football.

That’s my point for that amount of time the qb and wr are more of an advantage than the db.

I hated the call, he had shown over and over during the game that if you give him enough time he makes the pass. I'd much rather see you pressure the QB and make him run and make a great throw...playing to not lose vs being aggressive and playing to win, passive football, meh just meh.

Maybe.  It helped that our guy turned his back on the QB.  One of the main points of zone defense is that you are facing the QB and both see the ball coming and see if the QB takes off to run.

Try making chicken salad with chicken s***. 

[MaitlandTiger 325]

It hurts worse because we had them beat.  Even after the decision to put in a guy with 3 receptions for 24 yards to field the punt in the crucial last minutes of the biggest game of the year, at Jordan Hare. Even after the muff, we had them beat.   Our boys played a great game and the coaches for the most part, called a great game.  What an unbelievable collapse.  Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  Epic collapse.

For God’s sake, please stop making sense!

Then we can all look forward to more games such as this for who-knows-how-many seasons until we eventually fire him.
