Would have been classier if he had done it quietly, without attracting attention to it, and himself.

what? did Cincy suit up Robertson, Hogue, Thacker and Yates?

Both UTSA and Maryland outplayed us. Not sure we would have won the Maryland game even if we had gone for the first down and made it, as many variables are left unknown.

Yes. Someone like Selah Brown.

And the Maryland game was without any wind, nearly perfect conditions for passing.

We held Maryland to 10 points until late in 4th Quarter. Could do something similar to Purdue.

Bielema made what I thought was a very accurate assessment - that the team's margin of error is very small. That was especially evident against Maryland. We had to scrap and scrape for everything it seemed, while Maryland on offense made chunk play after chunk play. We were fortunate to keep...

15 yard penalty for piling on - :)

Having said that, I too felt the last 5 minutes of the game were gut-wrenching. I saw it being a combination of lack of execution on our part and really good plays by Maryland. Their QB, when given time (which he had too much of), is as good as you'll see - poise, awareness, and a strong and...

I've been at every home game and have read everything I have found about the team, and watched every video. I'm in deep for sure. When we punted on 4th and one (which was near mid-field), I did not think at the moment that it was a bad decision. Peters had not played well, and we could not count...

here it is. what are made of?
