I just don't think its cool singling out players and throwing them under the bus like that (especially when it's not an effort issue).
But..I do hope we learn the lesson we should have learned after Texas Tech last year...when the game is on the line...DON'T LET ANYONE PAST YOU.

I think it's more Anthony West's (#5 cornerback that holds the receiver) fault but it really doesn't matter now. The coaches will punish the team for this. And I hope they get it bad. This should NEVER happen. You don't give them the game after playing good enough to win the game for 58 minutes and then just say "hey you know what you guys can have this one..."

Running your a$$ off is a form of punishment that will in turn teach them like you said.

:yeah I think these coaches know that it wouldn't serve their better interest to "punish" the team. This was not a lack of effort being put forth...they busted their asses out there today. They just made some mistakes.

If you watch him he knows where he is supposed to be on plays and he does make some plays but he also gets burnt because instead of reacting to the play he runs straight to his spot and waits for the action.
As far as why he is playing? Nobody has beat him out for 2 years now so he is the best we've got.
I was also confused by West on the play. I know they were playing zone but he dropped off to cover nobody.

I did notice that Taylor wasn't very sharp until that last drive...but then he isn't really known for his arm, either. It could have gone either way a lot worse than it was. In some ways I almost think both teams played to the others level, thus the 16-15 score. And that level wasn't always very high today.

I noticed that and that's why I said I was pissed at West at first, but then I realized O'Hanlon dropped the ball on the coverage as well and I've seen him make alot of mistakes over the past few years. I don't know, maybe I'm being too hard on the guy? :dunno

Some of you guys are freaking ridiculous. These KIDS, work very HARD to PLAY for YOUR team.
If you think a player isn't giving his best effort, that's one thing. Slacking off is unacceptable.
But when these guys make mistakes while playing the best they can, show them some damn support.
Most of you critics couldn't make it through a practice, let alone a game. I'm sure your EA Sports NCAA 2009 dynasty is doing pretty well, but our coaching staff is in charge of this team, not you.
If you want to root for a team with perfect players and coaches, clone yourself....otherwise try considering that your TEAM played a hell of a tough game and dropped it in the end.
There were plenty of positives to take away from Saturday too.
