We back boys!
great to see the success of the local program-especially since it's truly a local team in terms of the roster. LA Tech will be a formidable challenge though so i'm hoping that UTSA can get that road win and build from there. I still plan on getting to a game-hopefully the UAB one.

If they could keep all their coaches and build something in SA this would be an incredible feat. I would love it.
I was looking at UTEP and they look like they know how to win games. What do you think about them?

Utep has had plenty of time to try to build something. They are what they are at this point. I think utsa is in a much better spot for the long haul than utep, being in a big city in south Central Texas.

Plenty of chances to lose coming up since the UTSA defense really isn't that great against a balanced offense, but replacing the mothership in a top 25 debut is pretty hilarious. I don't think the birds could beat UT or really anyone else who got votes, but it's really putting the program on the map. I'll jinx them by looking forward to potential bowl matchups-- best case scenario is BYU, right?

i can't figure them out. they got hammered by boise state and barely beat old dominion and southern miss. but then they dominated La Tech. it seems that their constant has been the defense. and they are always better at home. it's definitely a tough stretch down the road for the runners but i agree that it would be great if they can keep this coaching staff intact and continue to build up this program.

UTSA is in a great spot to steal away recruits from the likes of UTEP. in just a short time, UTSA has probably been one of the major contributing factors to the demise of Texas State's football program.

I think they've already been stealing recruits away from the likes of UTEP for some time now. They really have to do better than that in order to elevate the program further. They'll need to get recruits from the likes of Houston and Baylor to really up their game.
I see UTSA having a whole lot in common with UCF. It's a big growing public school that is this not quite first tier but is in a major market and a major football talent rich state. It hasn't been playing D-1 football for that long but being the only big public school in San Antonio sort of makes up for it.

It's hard to say. UT specifically is really injured right now and has a terrible offensive line. I can't believe I'm writing this but I'm not 100% sure UT would win in a matchup. I wouldn't put my money on it -- let's just say that.
For UTSA, this seasons really comes down to winning the conference championship and winning the bowl game. Final ranking or non-ranking won't matter if they don't do those things.

It's weird that an undefeated season is a real possibility; it just seems really fragile. There are three very losable games on the schedule, but now 10-3 with a New Orleans Bowl win seems like a terrible disappointment.
Which is ridiculous. Good problem to have.

yeah, UCF is exactly who I compare them too. what UTSA needs now is a more engaged alumni base, and especially some with deep pockets. i also think it's be in their best interest to build a stadium on campus. and it will help coach traylor if he can get some recruits from the DFW and Houston markets as well. that would indeed take UTSA to the next level.

I don't think there's room on campus for a football stadium and anything built is just going to be an aluminum bench, thigh-burning nightmare. Filling up the lower bowl in the Alamodome seems a lot more attractive to the casual fan. A 7-8000 seat basketball area is a much more pressing need for the campus

At the core, big money college sports are an abomination. It's incredible what a school like Rutgers went through and spent to achieve punching-bag status in the P5, and they'll be paying for decades to come.
Building a new stadium when you have the Alamodome would be a bad waste of money. The Alamodome will continue to benefit from public money and UTSA still has a large commuter school element (not to mention a large downtown campus), so the Alamodome is something they should take advantage of.

UTSA has been out recruiting UTEP basically for like the past decade. Seriously, UTEP always gets mostly kids with no other FBS offers. They're practically in New Mexico and noone wants to play out there. Makes their season so far that much more impressive but it's also why I'm still not sold on them. That La Tech win was surprising though, tbf.
UTSA also already hits DFW and Houston plenty. They're not getting many high end guys that go P5, but they're very competitive when it comes to G5 recruits. The talent has been on the roster to be a G5 power. Just have to keep it going and not let it be just a one year wonder.

per the UTSA master plan, they could have the room. the plan calls for construction of 35,000 capacity stadium at University Park West adjacent to 1604 but this depends upon the acquisition of ten acres of property in this area. a 10,000 seat convocation center is also a part of this plan.

I don't see any mention of a football stadium in the 2019 update.
I guess they can work on getting the land in the meantime, but there isn't a really compelling reason to spend another $80 million to bake fans the first half of the season while the dome is still there. Stuffing all the athletic buildings they can on the main campus might have opened enough room at Park West now anyway.

the 2019 plan just mentions a vague "future athletic site" next to the convocation center. of the two, the latter should be the priority.The difference from the original Park West plan is that the new arena and other sports venues are on the main campus instead of Park West. It looks like there will be enough room along 1604 to build a Bounce House if needed in the future without having to acquire any more land. They can put off a stadium until the city decides to give up on the dome. Main Campus will be crowded AF, but it seems they have what they need to move football on (near) campus in the future.
I just don't see the point of a new costly stadium when you have the Alamodome. When you are trying to market this team as "San Antonio's team" then a centrally located stadium with lots of modern upgrades makes more sense to me than trying to build smaller (and probably cheap) stadium on campus just to host 6 or 7 games when so many students are still commuters anyway.
UTSA still has issues fundraising so that money would be much better spent elsewhere. Plus, I think the Alamodome is actually a recruiting plus for UTSA. It's still fairly impressive compared to most other mid-major conference stadiums.
An on-campus football stadium is at least a couple decades away. We're 11 years old. Look at USF, they're barely set to get their OCS. They've played at the Bucs stadium for like 25 years. Memphis still plays at the Liberty Bowl. UAB played at Legion Field for decades, just opened a new stadium which IIRC is partly owned by the city of Birmingham.
Baseball is next from what I read after the opening of the RACE facility. Then basketball arena. The Dome still has a lot of good use left. The city is still pumping money into it.

Realignments are always fascinating. If we're moving up I'd expect to see some real arena plans rolled out soon.
There's chatter that incumbent AAC members will stay at $7 mill/yr through the remainder of the AAC deal (2031). Incoming members, including UTSA, will start at $2 mill and increase yearly. Still a no brainer, imo. If I'm not mistaken UCF, Houston, BYU and Cinci will have a similar structure when they enter the Big 12.

SMU has about 10,000 kids dont they? UTSA definitely has an advantage if the alumni come through. 35,000 kids. I think the numbers for UTSA have been over 30,000 for quite a while now. San Antonio is growing rapidly. I would love to have a 2nd college team to root for as a hometown school in a big Conference.

Damn man. This is one of those rare, special seasons. Have to start savoring it more. Don't want to get ahead of myself but there's a very very realistic shot at running the table.
UTSA might just leapfrog SMU in the rankings with this win. LA Tech nearly beat SMU but lost badly to UTSA.

Rice has all the resources to be the Stanford of the south. They just have to want it. They've been content with just being one of those elite academic universities that has a smug approach to athletics. Even then, they have 1 CUSA football title and a couple solid seasons under their belt this past decade.
From my understanding, part of their pitch to the AAC was that they would invest/place more importance on athletics. If they follow through on that they can make some noise, imo.

UTSA moved up one spot in the AP poll to #23 and three spots in the USA Today coaches poll to #22. Seems like they'll finish around there if they win out; maybe they'll pick up a spot if San Diego State takes an L.

It would be a total Hocutt move to shy away from anyone that's ever worked with Leach ( Dykes) but that would be the perfect hire at this point in time for Tech.
The thing I really like to see on Traylor's resume is that big 12 recruiter of the year award back in 2016...

Is Tech that big a jump from SMU at this point though? Especially if SMU gets a Big 12 call-up in the near future. And until then, everything seems to be set up for SMU to be a consistent Top 25 team that's dominant in the AAC. I also expect they'd give him a considerable raise (we know they have the money) if it meant retaining him. Dykes is in a really good situation there. Would not be surprised if he says no.
As for Traylor, it took a lot for him to leave Gilmer. He's also mentioned that he had other G5 job offers but wanted a place he believed could be successful. So he seems selective and I think he would get looks from blue bloods with a few more successful seasons under his belt. OTOH, look at Seth Littrell at UNT. Was a hot commodity a few years ago, turned down KState and now he's on the hot seat. Things can turn pretty quickly for a G5 coach. Hope we can keep him but understand if he takes the Tech job if offered.

Its a much larger school with a much larger following.
Are there any other assistants at UTSA that were valuable as recruiters AND really good Coaches?

Dykes would definitely have the job at SMU as long as he wants it but he would basically double his salary at Tech right off the bat. He also knows Tech and West Texas inside and out. If they offer I think he takes it without much thought.
I'm just not sure Tech offers him. Kirby Hocutt went way off script with this stupid Wells hire, I'm not sure he doesn't do it again.

If I were a power 5 conference AD looking for a new coach my only concern about Traylor's performance is that he really isn't winning with HIS players yet. These are players recruited by Wilson. How well does Traylor actually recruit is the question. Wilson was supposedly a good recruiter but poor coach.

Search Committee Suggests a Power Shift in Texas Tech Athletic Department
by Joe Yeager
11 hours ago
Perhaps even more interesting than Kirby Hocutt’s decision to, as the gentle euphemism goes, “relieve” coach Matt Wells “of his duties,” is his method of conducting a search for Wells’ successor. We all recall that, after firing Kliff Kingsbury, Hocutt went all Pale Rider in the succeeding hiring process, singlehandedly plucking the obscure Matt Wells from the wild blue yonder and installing him as Texas Tech’s new football coach. Hocutt himself confirmed that he alone was responsible for hiring Wells....."

Baseball is next from what I read after the opening of the RACE facility. Then basketball arena. The Dome still has a lot of good use left. The city is still pumping money into it.
The Alamodome is hosting the 2025 Men's Final Four so there will probably be even more money pumped into it shortly. UTSA may as well take advantage.

I know so little about Tech that I didn't realize Sonny Dykes' father was a former Tech head coach. That connection might be something that influences Tech to pick him. UTSA fans should hope so, LOL.
But to be real about it, either coach would be an upgrade over the one they just fired.

Kirby has been lights out picking coaches in every other sport except football, ie track, baseball and basketball.
He's using a committee this time that includes one rich donor vs the rogue solo effort from last hire, so as long as it's a safe pick that agrees with the fan base, I think he can still weather another failed coaching hire.

He's needs to step up the recruiting because he is still winning with the previous coach's recruits but he's a terrific fit for UTSA. Very impressive that they were able to find the resources to get this done.

No worries there. Players coach. Still reps the THSCA, has the best relationship with them out of any FBS head coach in Texas. He's basically now what Rule was to the THSCA before he left for the NFL.
He'll recruit even better than Wilson, imo.

He's losing a lot of important seniors after this season and next year's recruiting class is pretty "meh" right now. I think he has potential to be a great recruiter but he's got some work to do.

We only lose super seniors. True seniors (i.e. Frank Harris) still have another year since the NCAA decided not to count last year towards eligibility because of covid.
That's why the 2022 class is small and drops us in the recruiting rankings (since it's cumulative). The average rating of recruits isn't any worse than previous years, there's just less recruits to make room for those seniors coming back for another year.

Nah, that ain't it. They blatantly used the bottom third or so of the Top 25 to justify their Top 5 rankings. Its why Houston and SMU weren't in there ( it would help Cinc down the linei). Two-loss (now 3) Minnessota, who had lost to a 3-5 MAC team and just lost to Illinois who UTSA already beat, to help Ohio St. Three-loss (now 4) Miiss St helped Bama. Two-loss Fresno St (now 3) helped Oregon.
Obviously, SOS matters. Noone is saying our 9-0 is equivalent to Georgia's 9-0. But you can't use the SOS argument when there's a 3-4 loss difference in W-L record between teams. That's just blatantly biased against G5s. Winning every game is tough. It's much easier to run the table on paper than it is in reality. That's why there's so many teams, including teams the committee ranked, lose a bunch of games they're supposed to theoretically win on paper.
At the end of the day, we're just talking about bowl positioning any way for the runners. They seriously need to expand the playoffs for all conference winners.
Unlikely, but if Cinci slips up it could be the difference between a NY6 bowl or just a regular bowl. They've looked vulnerable the past few weeks.

There really isn't a coach out there that thrills for Tech, and that includes Dykes.

so i finally made my way to a game. first, i'd have to say that i am now not so sure that UTSA needs to invest in an on campus stadium in the near future. the dome turned out to be a nice space for both the tailgating experience and the game itself. the crowd was extremely loud and engaged and responsible for quite a few delay of game and movement penalties. second, UTSA did not seem the least bit prepared to stop frank gore, jr. at QB. he had his way in the first half but eventually his coaches put him in a position to get hurt and that's exactly what happened. he gave it a go to start the 3rd but eventually had to come out. once he was no longer in the game, the tide seemed to change. offensively, harris looked to have had his worst game of the season as many of his throws were off and he was late in seeing his receivers when they got open. and southern miss was keying in on the run so it was not a good time for the passing game to be struggling. also, southern miss looked loose and pumped up even during their warmup drills. i expect that the runners will run into this problem when they play north texas. but before that, UTSA better straighten out some of their issues because if they play against UAB they way they played against southern miss, their unbeaten record will be no more.

Hell yeah, man. We need as many locals as possible to get behind the team, even as their second team. :tu
The wildcat offense was definitely unexpected. UTSA played right into their hands with Harris having such an off night though. If they strike quick like they have been most of the season, Southern Miss would've had no choice but to go back to a traditional offense to try to catch up. Just be glad you avoided a hug letdown, burn the tape, and focus on UAB. It's for the CUSA West title and a chance to host the CUSA title game. Atmosphere should be even more electric Saturday.
Also agree about the Dome. It's a nice enough home until the city stops pumping money into it.
It's going to be tough to stay in the CFP rankings but I'm guessing they just get in at #25.
Wow, so they actually moved up to #22. What happens if they beat UAB?

Cincy has the Notre Dame win on the road which is very lucky for them. Otherwise they'd be ranked #21
Conference USA's TV deal is awful. Looks like only one conference game for UTSA is going to be on TV all season (that was the UTEP game on ESPN2).
Judy is the worst commissioner in CFB. She's trash. When UTSA first joined CUSA, the AAC had just formed and CUSA was arguably the next best G5 conference. Its why UTSA supposedly chose CUSA over a MWC invite. Texas St ended up in the Sunbelt, which at the the time was widely considered the weakest conference. A Tik Tok/Facebook/Stadium deal + getting a toy car company sponsor for the title game later and CUSA is easily worse than the Belt and by far the worst conference to be in in all of FBS. Thank god the AAC threw us a lifeboat.

Nah they've done this for two years in a row. And had Georgia on the ropes in their bowl game last season. They're legit. It's just really hard to win every single week. Even harder to dominate every week.

Still, it did happen. They still have 2 games left to win. I know 13-1 is not 14-0, but it is a helluva season for a team that has never been considered much nationally. It is definitely a huge recruiting sell for next year. I was hoping they would go undefeated, but it didn't happen.

Winning on paper is much easier than winning in reality. Losing games you are favored in and are "supposed to win" is not a rare occurrence. It has happened to all but two teams this season. That's why I thought UTSA deserved more credit for that 11-0 start despite the SOS argument. Not having a letdown for so long is impressive. They finally had one.
They have to win the conference though. Would be a huge gut punch to not even do that after the dream start. And tbh, if my life depended on it I would pick WKU Friday. :(
I know this is a football thread, but my TAMUCC Islanders did enjoy bitch slapping the Runners all over the hardwood. Unfortunately, A&M bitch slapped us as well.
Basketball needs a complete overhaul. Build the new arena asap, new coach, etc. They're going to get absolutely slaughtered by Wichita States and Memphis in the AAC with the current product. Nice win for you guys though.

Weather played a role. Three fumbles in first half, UNT scored TDs off all three. A lot missed tackles, they ran all over UTSA. Threw in towel to start second half (pulled Harris and McCormick).

Frisco Bowl 12/18 against SDSU. Both can say they're playing the #24 team in the country because college football.
It's a mixed bag considering UTSA could've been playing #13#12#14 BYU in the Independence Bowl. I won't totally discount a conspiracy theory against UTSA and UAB (who plays a tougher BYU matchup on the same night their basketball opens up their renovated arena against West Virginia), but it's a primetime game without competition in a closer, smaller stadium we could get close to filling. SDSU's loss in their conference championship is mitigated by the fact ~20 players were out due to COVID protocols. Should be a good game.

BYU got screwed worse than UTSA, but they've been locked into this game for years. Conference membership can't come soon enough for them.
We should probably be satisfied it came down to Frisco or Shreveport. The current AAC bowl slate is straight garbage if anyone considers traveling to a game. That should change with seven teams on or west of the Mississippi.
in terms of the venue and date and time, it's not a great bowl bid but san diego state will prove to be a nice measuring stick for where UTSA is at as a program.

lesser bowl, lesser money, but, if they can show out and win, being on ESPN will do wonders for recruiting, future televised games, and better bowl games (especially moving to the new conference).....it will also help if the fan base travels to Frisco and packs the house.
Sincere McCormick is skipping the bowl game and senior season to go pro. That's a massive blow for UTSA. I thought he might do it but am surprised he's not even playing in the bowl game given it's next week.

Riq the Freak
Converted WR. 6'4.5" with 4.2 speed but not the best route runner or best hands. Only played CB for a few years and went from looking pretty lost out there to all-conference.
His physical tools make him intriguing for sure, but it's up in the air how good he can be at the NFL level, imo. I hope he reaches his potential though.

I could see something like 21-14 halftime score before things start unraveling for the birds. I think 42-17 sounds about right, imo
A much less talented team with a much worse coaching staff played A&M pretty tough in College Station a couple years ago.
Not sure if UT-Austin is actually good this year or if they just treated Bama like it was their Super Bowl. Would be pretty awesome if its a close game. But I'll be happy if we just come away healthy. Barring major injuries I like our chances to win CUSA again, tbh.
I don't think UTSA under Coach Traylor has ever seen a defense as good as Texas'-- not even close. If UTSA can score then they can probably keep it close because I'm not impressed with Card at QB for Texas. UTSA might be able to load up the box on defense and defend the run if Card can't make plays in the air.

Houston is supposed to have a top defense. I wouldn't say they're "not even close" to UT's defense.
They did have trouble moving the ball on UH at times though, tbf. Especially early in the game. More than likely will be even tougher against UT on the road.

And they've faced Aaron Jones (UTEP) , Jeff Wilson Jr (UNT), and IIRC a young Devin Singletary (FAU).

Is Bijan projected to be a 1st rounder or what? Jesus christ he looks like a man amongst boys. Big, fast, strong.
Damn, Traylor throwing in the towel. Probably the right move but kinda sucks.
QB fought hard. but they were clearly overmatched by far, even with texas looking completely unengaged the whole first half. the only reason it was even close was the onside/double pass trickery, and cards inability to throw downfield.

It was 24-20 late in the 3rd Qtr and UTSA had the ball. The pick 6 and key drop the following series had nothing to do with UT.

no, it has to do with the fact that UTSA simply lacks talent. thus, they were overmatched. high level teams don't make those mistakes at those moments. they proved they are not that level of team.

They were pretty clearly the less talented team by quite a margin. The formula was to play mistake free football while throwing the playcalling kitchen sink at them. It worked for 2.5 quarters, but the difference is Texas could make mistakes all night and still win, but once UTSA started making mistakes the game was over.
Not a knock on UTSA, they put themselves in great position to beat a more talented team, it just didn’t quite go in their favor.
And any Texas fans thinking this game revealed anything about their team is delusional. Lot of “we got a squad” posts online. Most other blue bloods would have ended this game by halftime.

UTSA was playing walk ons and freshman at OLine due to injuries. Figured Texas would dominate up front and that they'd really struggle to run the ball and protect Harris. Neither happened.
UTSA moved the ball relatively well. They also actually met Bijan in backfield pretty often but he was just too good to be brought down by the first guy. Yardage/first downs does not tell the story of one team severely outclassing the other, imo. Talent wise very few teams will not be clearly inferior to UT but that's a different discussion than putting it together on the field.
I'm not saying UTSA had it in the bag or anything. Just think the game was more competitive than I thought it would be and many UT fans would like to admit. I remember a game years ago when UTSA hosted Oklahoma State, score was like 52-14 and UTSA scored two garbage time TDs to make the score seem more respectable than the game really was. This felt like the complete opposite.
24-20 with less than a minute in the 3rd Qtr, UTSA driving...I find it hard to believe a little doubt wasn't creeping into UT fans minds after all the soft letdowns they've had over the years.
Off the top of my head:
-first UTSA offensive possession...false start at the 1 (4th and goal). Going for it but had to kick FG after penalty.
-UT going for it on 4th and 4. Defensive offsides gives them the 1st down.
-Long TD reception on double move called back due to illegal procedure penalty.
-TD catch overturned after WR fails to secure catch. Unforced. Would've tied game at 24-24.
- 24-20 game, driving...unforced error pick 6
-31-20, driving at UT 30...unforced drop on 4th and 1
UT played the cleaner game, imo. If UTSA has fewer back breaking mistakes, it might've been a game for 4 quarters instead of 3.

I don't care about averages. They moved the ball with relative ease. The RBs ran the ball better than they did against Houston and Army and they didn't have Trelylon Smith (Arkansas transfer) who was out injured. Harris and the receivers ate. No sacks allowed--Houston and Army got home on Harris. On defense, they met Bijan in the backfield plenty he's just an all-world talent so the first guy never brought him down.
The pick 6, drops, and key offsides/false starts were unforced. A real elite team would've handled UTSA with a lot more ease. This one didn't come easy for UT but if you guys want to delude yourselves into thinking Texas is back because "they almost beat Bama! :wow" go right ahead. :lol

all the coulda woulda shoulda can go both ways
if ewers wasn't hurt
if card wasn't hurt
if card was a bit more accurate on a few passes
if watts hand was an inch higher
if jtavion stayed inbounds
if they didn't have that penalty on the drive to close the half
none of that matters, bc it didn't happen. UTSA got blown out without too much trouble. end of story. quit crying.
and if you think they truly moved the ball well, despite having 13 minutes more TOP and 25 more plays ran, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about :lmao
no one said Texas locked them down completely, but utsas offense moved inconsistently at best. the Texas defense clearly was the better overall unit, since the offense was completely incompetent of doing anything other than screen passes and runs with bijan.

Sark was looking for Traylor for the handshake. Shortly after locking eyes on Traylor, someone jogged past Sark and said something that caught his attention. Sark immediately swung around to get in that ass and had to pull off so that he could shake hands with Traylor. Sark then told him to keep his cronies in check. After that, it seemed like the two coaches came to some sort of an agreement that they should handle shit like that between themselves.

I don't care about averages. They moved the ball with relative ease. The RBs ran the ball better than they did against Houston and Army and they didn't have Trelylon Smith (Arkansas transfer) who was out injured. Harris and the receivers ate. No sacks allowed--Houston and Army got home on Harris. On defense, they met Bijan in the backfield plenty he's just an all-world talent so the first guy never brought him down.
The pick 6, drops, and key offsides/false starts were unforced. A real elite team would've handled UTSA with a lot more ease. This one didn't come easy for UT but if you guys want to delude yourselves into thinking Texas is back because "they almost beat Bama! :wow" go right ahead. :lol
Who said Ut is back?
Who said Ut is back?
little brother syndrome
all the coulda woulda shoulda can go both ways
if ewers wasn't hurt
if card wasn't hurt
if card was a bit more accurate on a few passes
if watts hand was an inch higher
if jtavion stayed inbounds
if they didn't have that penalty on the drive to close the half
none of that matters, bc it didn't happen. UTSA got blown out without too much trouble. end of story. quit crying.
and if you think they truly moved the ball well, despite having 13 minutes more TOP and 25 more plays ran, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about :lmao
no one said Texas locked them down completely, but utsas offense moved inconsistently at best. the Texas defense clearly was the better overall unit, since the offense was completely incompetent of doing anything other than screen passes and runs with bijan.
400+ yards, 29 first downs, 9/16 on 3rd downs? And Traylor pulled the starters 5 minutes into the 4th Qtr.
They moved the ball just fine and that's despite the unforced mistakes I mentioned. If you want to delude yourself into thinking this was a dominant win go ahead. 24-20 with under a minute left in the 3rd. To me it still looked like a team that does so little with so much. Treated Bama like their super bowl but back to being the same old soft program.

Because I don't think it was a dominant win?
Ok :lol
Who said Ut is back?
I think anybody that wants to paint it as a dominant win, does it because they want to believe UT is closer to being what it looked like against Bama than what it looked like yesterday.
Plenty of chatter on the twitters about how much more resilient this UT team is than previous years as well.

no one here said it was a dominant win. you keep making up stuff that no one here said.
the only claims were that utsa got blown out (a 21 point loss is generally considered a blowout), and that texas was pretty clearly the more talented team, even with a halfhearted effort
texas still has some growing to do, no fan in their right mind would say otherwise (getting ewers back will help majorly, but there are depth issues among every unit except RB).
at the same time, utsa simply isnt even close to ut's level, and no fan in their right mind would say otherwise.
and in terms of the "resilience" chatter, thats referring to how half the players on last years squad would have gotten mad and given up after utsa went up 17-7, leaving it to the freshmen to try to bail them out. those guys are now gone, and it shows.
and lets not kid ourselves, how much quicker this game would have been over if ewers was playing. receivers were open all over the field, card is just too scared to ever pull the trigger. he fights hard, but hes simply not good.
