Message: [QUOTE="Nameless, post: 5356476, member: 14132"] Same tired old story. Missed tackles. Questionable play calling at times. Missed throws. We had put a lot of that behind us for the past couple games. Came back and bit us today. But what makes this sting more is Rice had every reason to roll over and let us trample them. Empty stadium, crappy day. We scored on one play the first drive and shut them down for their first 2 drives. All we had to do was keep our foot on the gas and we would've put them away early. But then idk what happened, it looked like we got too comfortable and when they counter punched we didn't respond the way we needed to. Yeah, we still lead for probably most of the game. But the team just seemed tense or something again. As everyone noted in the game chat, we squandered every chance we had to put them away in the 2nd half. On the other hand Rice just kept fighting. I hate acknowledging this, but they deserved to win more than we did today. I hope our guys let that sink in, and come out playing with vengeance at home next week against UAB. Let's get to 6-3 and be bowl eligible again [/QUOTE]
