This isn't Dave's fault. This is the football team's fault. Things clearly didn't go well and we simply failed to do...well..anything. Playing difficult competition is good. But, that was bad. I look forward to the improvement that this team makes throughout the year. I have a lot of faith in this team and this coaching staff.

I understand that it's the hip thing to do to come on the board and try to be the mature voice of reason after a loss. More power to you. But you're delusional if you think Delaware State's 185-pound linebackers are as likely to hurt a player as Alabama's flying manchildren.

He got clipped/pushed while he was the gunner as he was squaring up.  So yes, I doubt that happens vs Western or Rice or whatever patsie we should have been playing.

When other teams are playing nobodies, you should play nobodies too.

Are you saying Rice/Western's players are too little to clip/push people in the back?  It's not like he got hit by some mass of humanity that only plays at the Bamas/USCs/LSUs of the world.  A high school kid could have caused the same injury.  It was a fluke.

Playing nobodys is totally damned if you do damned if you don't. We get upset when we play someone that is not good because of a variety of reasons, including the fact that it doesnt prepare us for MSU, Ohio, Bowl games. Now we get upset when we schedule a top matchup because we were beat by the best team in the country and defending national champs?

What is your proposal than? Play MAC schools and beat our chests while we are beating them by 4 touchdowns? Come on man. We scored more points than LSU did in both games against Alabama. We scored about a much as an SEC team did against Alabama. We were not the better team and we showed fight.

Whyy?  So we can lose by three touchdowns the last game of the season instead of the first?  I would hope that this experience helps the team realize where they are at, what they need to improve, and move in that direction.  If you are a legitimate title contender it might make sense to shirk away from playing the best in your non-conference schedule, but I think its obvious that we aren't there yet.  So how does the loss really hurt us?  You really though this team was going 12-0?  Even after tonight you think they have a decent shot at running the table?

Recruiting, media hype, and all kinds of hooplah. Yes, it sucks we lost. And it's difficult to see any benefits of this game after such a rough defeat, but there are some major potential rewards for scheduling games like these.
