The numbers show that the offense produces. The problem is I don't know of an offense that can recover from 5 turnovers against a team like So. Miss. The offense works and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

 
Seriously guys. take a good long hard look at these numbers. and then go puke. b/c thats how they make me feel and should you too. THERE IS NO WAY WE SHOULD HAVE LOST THIS GAME with those kindof stats. 5 turnovers or not.

Lets take a closer look...

USM didn't have a rusher over 100 yards nor a passer over 150 yards. NU had almost 500 yards total offense and an 11 minute advantage in time of possession. We converted 3 of 4 chances in the red zone and averaged 6.1 yards per rush.

And if you really want to make yourself sick, check this out: we gained 293 total yards on first down for a 7.7 yard per play average. 60% of our yards were on first down.

Yet still a big fat L. This is unacceptable and hate to say, but losses like this wont be accepted too many more times.. This was a tough way to lose, and I feel for the guys who kicked a$$ like Cory Ross and the line and the D et al. grrrrrrr. not happy. :angry:

We gave Southern Miss that game. But at least it is a problem that we can fix. We need to fix this by Big 12 season.
