This just in, our OL couldn't open up a hole large enough for an ant to run through Saturday night

Marlin did a lot better than Rajion, for whatever reason.  I am thinking he is just better at dancing around the "non holes".  Maybe he should have gotten more touches.

Although the offense stunk it up, it can be pointed out that we had two turnovers deep in scoring territory, both by a true frosh QB on the road vs. the no. 9 team in the country, and that we twice passed on FG attempts late in the game in an attempt to convert the 4th downs.  Then there were at least two drops by the WRs.

The coaches can be criticized for allowing Dobbs too much exposure as Crockettman points out, but they did not drop the balls and that isn't coaching.  The decisions to pass on the FGs were the correct ones.

Our offense could have done a few simple things better and scored 2-3 TDs IMO.  I think they will execute better next game, but we will see.

I think one reason Neal was in the game a lot is he is a much better pass blocker than Lane.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
