1. Hubert ran well
2. We got pressure on the QB
3. Good special teams play! (I like the high kickoffs)
4. Took advantage of mistakes
5. Our O-Line protected better than they have all year, including UMass
6. Sams ran well (ok like amazingly well)
7. MUELLER

That's just a short list of things I liked. Listen, the season is crap. A win would've been really fun, but whatever. I'm ok with this season being about the process over results at this point. We've improved every week in my opinion and were able to withstand adversity. Our D really did play well. 35 is probably Baylor's low number for the year.

Sams still took the most snaps (even if he doesn't know how to win games yet)

Waters didn't turn it over

Mueller!

Toe caught some passes

The O-line played pretty damn well

We controlled the effing clock!

Got a turnover on D, may have found a serviceable return man in Johnson.

It clearly all on next year.  If we struggle next year like this year then Bill has to step away from the game.

Feels like 2001 to me. This team just isn't making enough plays, we've had 4th quarter leads in 3 of our losses. I think they can recover and get to 6-6, maybe 7-5.

This brings me back to the "luck" arguments of 2011.  I wonder if the people who said it was all coaching that year will blame the coaching this year?  Or is it all bad luck now?

Exactly. This team isn't much different, that team just won every close game.

I tend to agree. This year is on the wrong side of the knife (I hope).

I was encouraged! Sams is really good and will only get better. 199 yards rushing is a lot! Hubes ran well. D looked better than they have and Mueller is obviously an enormous stud. Punter had some nice kicks.

I think we were extremely lucky in 2011 and in the flip side of things this year. I don't think the coaching is significantly different this year other than playing the wrong qb for a few games.

I think if we had played the correct QB from day one, some of our close losses would have been easy wins, so we are more stupid than unlucky.

Probably one game, maybe 2.

This game depressed me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all TSC for you guys, and KSU actually made it a game. That's why I'm all  :frown: though. It just shows how garbage the Mountaineers are this year.

Anyway...   :emawkid:

This might have been the best team on our schedule. Everyone we play is beatable (also capable of beating us tho.)

I thought we played really, really well.  I don't understand why it is so hard for some people to fathom that a young team made some mistakes and lost to a considerably better team.
