Watching from Crystal River Colorado south of Carbondale in Mt. Sopris canyon. Given the temperatures today.....pretty good seat up here! High temp here today, 68.


Listening from the Ngorongoro Crater rim in Tanzania. 61 degrees here where it's hotter than the Cowboy offense. Can't run, can't win.
That is true!!! Wow, Tanzania, watch out for wild animals!!!!!!!!! I had two questions the second half, why no Trent Howland? He can at least power his way to four or five yards on first down and give you a more manageable second and third down! Why no gap scheme blocking, that seems to work better against teams with a couple of big DTs inside!!! We got results last year when we mixed it up with zone schemes??? PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS BECAUSE THEY AREN'T HAPPY ABOUT THE LOSS BUT GIVE THEIR DEFENSE A TON OF CREDIT THEY MADE IT TOUGH ON THE OFFENSE ALL DAY!!!

This game is all on the Offense. No excuses. We had every opportunity to put this game away early and our O missed every opportunity there was. Without saying names, something needs changed.


This.

And need to recruit dual threat QBs. Helps when you can't win in the trenches, which OSU can't recruit well enough to do consistently.
Ummm, our last dual threat QB missed four games in 2019 (broken hand), three games in 2020 (knee injury), he only missed one in 2021, the opener due to Covid and missed four games in 2022 (shoulder injury) then portaled out and never really played at Ole Miss!!!

Rangel into the game, but not much changes with another three and out.
Do you know if Bowman got dinged up or was this just coaches trying a change of pace???

The defense was the only reason it was as close as it was at the end. They played nearly 43 minutes and held Utah to 22 points. I don't care if it was a backup quarterback or not, that many minutes and plays, they should've scored 35 points.

Yes I have heard of Spencer Sanders. What exactly is your point?

Teams have been forcing Bowman to beat them and so far he has. This was some of the worst Qb play I've seen at Ok State in a long time. It's not like the defense was all over every pass. He missed so many guys by multiple feet. Short pass to Ollie late in the game was skipped and would've been an easy first down. Problem is we have no where to turn because Rangel was somehow even worse. We have maybe the most experienced talented offense if a very long time yet the Qbs are going to put it to waste. Hopefully this gets way way better or Ksu will do the same thing.

Should be 2-2 right now with wins over FCS team(though the best) and Tulsa. I put this on Dunn. Run for 0-2 yards, fade route, pass route 3-4 yards short of 1st. Punt. Repeat.

The drive with Ollie in wildcat on 3rd had them off balance but other than that it was garbage.

Here is a little REALITY for you, OSU record is 3-1! If you have more points than the other team when the clock says 0:00 that means you won the game, that is the only thing that really counts!!! Bowman wasn't responsible for giving up 250 yards rushing and allowing them to ram the ball down our throats! Can he do better yes, but the WHOLE TEAM HAS TO DO BETTER!!!

Here's a little REALITY for YOU! 7th year Bowman and 6th year O-line just got humiliated and upped by an opposing FRESHMAN QB with an O-line missing some starters. Yes, the defense gave up some yardage, but the game was still within reach up until the last minutes of the game. Had 7Th year QB and 6th year o-line carried some of the load, we'd be singing a different tune today.

BS

Our Oline and our QB DID NOT get humiliated and upped by the Utah QB and Oline.... they did not even line up against each other.

IMHO, it's not so much our OLine, but the TEs and FBs that don't seem to be effective in assisting the run game... and of course Bowman had a bad day, but really, that is almost expected occasionally against the better teams in the conference. Bowman has bad mechanics, always has, regardless of how many years he's played.

Did you get kicked in the head by a Bull!! I stated that we should have put the first opportunity in the end zone for seven instead of three! That was essentially the difference in OSU wining the game by one or at worst you are tied and going into overtime!!! Again, these people were ranked 12th in the polls for a reason!!! You have to give them credit for doing what it took to earn a three point win!!!
