Okay, let’s first fire whoever makes our schedule. A road game against a quality WAC opponent? Why? Why? Why? Just dumb. Make them come to Memorial, not a home and 2 home for us.
Moving on: Come on, Clancy. 52 points? 6.4 yards per rush? 497 total yards? Nevada’s good, but they should not score 45 points on our defense. Our linebackers were ill-prepared, and it just wasn’t a performance we needed. Our offense may be pretty good, but not a 52 point offense. Our coverage was pretty bad too.
It’s easy to blame Kevin Riley for this. WE NEED TO MATCH THEM TD FOH TD! Please, calm down. Coming into the game, if you told me we scored 31 points, I would be pretty confident that we were in the game or won it. We should not have lost by 21. We had over 500 yards of offense. The pick 6 was a potential 14 point swing, which would make it potentially 38-45 final. A 14 point difference changes the whole complexion of the game. And I subscribe to the idea of turnovers=luck largely. Riley’s 3 INTs are painful, but fixable.
Shane Vereen was awesome. One of the few bright spots. If we needed a reminder, Shane Vereen is still awesome.
Okay. Maybe we if we had Mike Mohamed, we win the game. Get well soon, Mike. Just everybody take a deep breath. I was pissed last night, but remember: this has no bearing on our Rose Bowl hopes. Sure, it looks bad and casts a shadow on our season, but if they play like the team we saw the first two weeks we’re still in this thing. Facing Arizona, at Arizona coming off this loss, will be crucial. Win and the season’s back. Lose, and question marks start to rise. Go Bears!
