So there are only 3 potential nfl guys on the roster, yet the scouts thought that the game would certainly be close? That doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement of where we’re at.

Tell them not to worry. The next guy will fix it.

"Butler said the D-line needs to get off the ball." Thought Jeudy in particular did an excellent Job of quickly getting far off the ball.

I feel like we say this a lot when things don’t look very good. If we didn’t run things that could be helpful and then watched as Cincy almost won, that would not be a best practice.

The fact that the “obvious answer” at RB2 is someone who has 7 yards on 6 carries for his career pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the RB room.

Did we ever see Marshall on punt return? Don’t remember it, which is surprising If Barney was dinged up all game,

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying that what we saw in terms of scoring was of a piece with last season. It would’ve been nice to see improvement.

definitely felt this on Thursday.

We’re averaging less than 23 points in 5 games with Holgorsen, which includes one 44 point performance. In fact, the 44 against Wisconsin is the only game we’ve scored more than 20 in during that stretch. All other games are exactly 20, except for Cockeye, which was the low water mark at 10...

I have always though that part of the issue is that the SEC schools already had a culture of boosters paying up for players before NIL, so they were in perfect position to transition into the new era. I don’t think there is inherently more money in places like Mississippi or in even most of...

We’ve always overestimated and overstated our ability to compete on NIL.

On McAfee, Rhule mentioned that JoBu asked for the timeout so he gave it to him. Maybe that’s just throwing him under the bus, but that seems like a very nfl move.

I think after the couple of touches they had, they knew that putting them on the field would allow Cincy’s defense to beg us to run the ball. There is no world in which EJ should be on the field for 69 of 78 offensive snaps.

So much piss. So few cups.

I’m happy to win the game. I just left Thursday feeling like maybe the team isn’t very good, which I hadn’t anticipated.
