I realize that the performance was awful last night, but just trying to see if there is some hope that our team really isn't THAT bad, which they aren't to begin with. A little overreaction always happens right after, and the day after a game. I'm looking for a positive perspective, if there is one.

The opposing team sucks!

Looking on the brightside, maybe this horrid loss will serve as motivation to prove that this team is legit.

Question - does our punter always punt 'rugby' style? Was kick-off coverage that bad against Toledo? Any chance Weller gets his kicks into the endzone, or are we looking at giving OSU starting position at their own 40-yard line every time they get the ball this Saturday? Lastly (and most importantly), it sounds like if Bates is cleared to play Saturday, he may be the starter. Would this assumption be correct?

No, Our punter does not punt rugby style every time.  K.O. coverage was pretty suspect. Weller is not kicking off this year due to his leg injury, only handling XP/FG No information on this "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."

I understand the entire concept of the Rugby style punt, allowing better down field coverage by buying time for the kick through the roll out.  However that is one strategy that drives me up a wall every time I see it by any team I see doing it.

Agree; especially when each rugby kick bounced in UT's favor.  The straight away punt looked to be 45+ yards.  How is 40 better?

My guess is we will not be able to use it against OSU.

I really can’t put into words the disappointment I had walking out of that stadium. This team was looking anywhere. We aren’t good enough to beat anyone right now. While the D deserved credit, the offense is going need to improve to suck. I was afraid the offensive line was suspect based on what many of you wrote on here. You were all correct. We are in deep here folks. I am not sure how we intend to improve that part of the offense given the fact the season has started already. WOW is this depressing. Boo – having went thru a shoulder issue back in the day, I feel for the kid. However, he has not recovered! What happened here? Holy crap I could barely watch some of these throws. I agree with others here on Tettleton. If Boo is not healthy, get him ready.   While I am going up this weekend for golf and fun, I am not stepping foot in that dump for this game. Call me a coward but it’s not that. I will be in a throw down before the National Anthem ends. We are in for a beat down. I thought we were beyond the 50-3 days but that is possible if the team from the Toledo game shows up this weekend. Not what I expected at all. Here's to better days.
