No postgame recap from me because I did not watch the game. Instead, I went to an upscale restaurant for a five-course meal and a fine bottle of Bordeaux (2010 Ch. l'Eglise-Clinet, for those of you who care about such things). I had a wonderful evening. I imagine that most of you did not.

It should be an interesting offseason....

I'll take care of it for you.

1. LK was not ready.
2. The D was great ... until it wasn't.
3. Dedicated special teams coach.

Agree about the offseason.

No, but you have to get close to scoring a td. I mean they literally never threatened to put the ball in the endzone once. WTF is that?

Coaches deserve some heat for this. They had no play calls avaliable for the continued blitzs that were coming. Reminded me of the virginal tech game when JT was first starting.

The good - Jack and Mirco balled out. Defense was strong for 3 quarters but got worn down from having no help from our offense. We needed a turnover / momentum shifting play from our defense and it didn’t come. They still played well enough to get a W but didn’t make THE plays to bail out an inept offense.

The Bad- QB play. It’s very unfortunate that Brown got hurt. I wanted to win the game but more importantly I wanted to see what Brown could do. They did not have Lincoln remotely ready. To be fair he didn’t have time but I’m highly skeptical that he or Brown are DUDES at QB. Air appears to be a DUDE but we need a gap filler for 24. Hit the portal hard for a strong leader with upside ceiling.

The Ugly - OL was god awful. Awful. I was stunned that we couldn’t produce a better 5 man rotation. The penalties, complete whiffs and missed assignments and lack of any push. Why we didn’t adjust to bring in more support and gut this one out on the ground is beyond frustrating.

The cold hard truth- Coaching was very bad. We knew they were stacking the box and Lincoln’s moonshot passes weren’t breaking the top off. No one expected that and yet we didn’t adjust. We were up 3-0 and moving the ball but then killed every drive with a sweep or trying to pass the ball. Day is consistently unwilling to win games how they must be won. We had the ball at our 30ish yard line and instead of calling plays that had high probability to move the ball closer to the red zone or a makable field goal we called lower probability calls (lateral motion and pass plays with a unprepared QB). The result is we missed a 48 yard field goal attempt that should have been <45 and we pissed away multiple other drives where we crossed midfield. When your team is struggling this bad you have to do everything to set them up with high probability execution play calling.

We’re lucky the game didn’t get more lopsided. Thoroughly underwhelming overall performance and left a bad taste for the program. Definitely feels like we’re trending down and Day leaves little confidence that he has a true identity for the program. We shall see what he does with his offseason. It will be a long one for him and hope he figures it out.

The offense is good but the QB is a position of need. McCord was good but not CJ good. Brown didnt have a chance to show his mettle. This team needs an elite QB to flourish. This amount of talent around the ball was wasted yesterday. That wasn’t Day’s fault, but a turn of events/injury caused him to lean on a third string QB. I’m always optimistic. Next year will be a rebuilding year and this team will rally.

The offense is not "good." All the skill position talent in the world doesn't freaking matter when your O line is a wet paper bag.

Patiently waiting for the announcement that Hayden will be transferring. I’d expect him to be disappointed with the coaching staff not putting him on the field. Not sure what happened to where he didn’t get on the field.

We really don't know how much Hayden was suppose to play in this game. I do think it's understandable if he didn't play much when Kienholz came in. They really needed veteran players to be in the back field to help Kienholz get the play in, call protections, and make any adjustments. I did notice Xavier Johnson standing real close to Kienholz when the play was being called in a couple times, my guess is he had to help him with the signals and what the play actually was.
