And why is one of our bigs virtually unplayable when we already have one red shirting?! Booth looks like a deer in headlights on both offense and defense.

I brushed off USC. I got REALLY concerned after Maryland, but I deluded myself into thinking beating NU at home could have meant we’d rebound.

Every single person on our team and staff should feel like jacka$$es. Not because ALL of them were negligent today, but because the T-E-A-M was. It’s genuinely difficult to continue to care when I don’t feel like we play hard.

I acknowledge the emotions of the loss are getting to me, but I can say this about the 2023 team … at least I always knew TSJ would give his all and call out his teammates when they needed to step up. What current evidence is there that this team will even accomplish what that disappointing season did?!

Taking Dra out on the final possession of regulation and not starting him in overtime is criminal.
Totally, totally agree with you! How do you face that kid who once again played harder than almost everybody and I absolutely love Mraz and don’t give him a whiff on the floor to start the overtime? The entire coaching staff should have noticed it because here we are 800 miles away watching on TV and we can tell who should be on the floor!

This team is talented for sure but they are lacking grit right now. Not surprising tbh.

This was a painful game to watch - this team is not valuing the ball and there were some serious defensive lapses that Nebraska exploited all game.

The decision making just makes you want to not watch any more games - it feels like the team isn’t taking their opponents seriously, and it makes you wonder what is going on behind the scenes. I thought we were beyond those days, but apparently not. Who is the/a leader on this team?
