Was a good win. Finally committed to the run, and did what we do best. I think we win again on Saturday, and that will be our last win, maybe outside shot at Beating UNI. Coaching is the biggest reason for this disaster season. Crist way in over his head calling plays.

We were sunk & would likely have lost that game. For the 3rd time this season, our offense was figured out early in the second quarter & shut down; just like every other big-12 offense. Congrats on the line making some strides on run blocking (nice misdirection), but VG was running for his life from Q2, until he left the game. Thanks for finally changing up that play with #26. I like it, but it is not going to work if you do not run a couple of keepers and pass out of the pattern (can we hand off instead of pitch, at least when the ball is soaked?).
I would hope that they will let Mays throw the next time he is in. USD was a much worse team than I expected. Their QB could not find his rhythm. We have another W, let's hope it is not the last.

Yeah that offense really came to life when Mays came in! They scored 0 points lol. C'mon now....

I think that Mays gave the Offense the big spark that it needed, maybe we did not realize any points but it was able to chew up a lot of time.
Nice to see Joe A. get a couple of carries, I think that he brings a spark when he comes in.
For Mays sake I wish the would let him throw a safe pass now and then.

C'mon guys! Mays is like running the wildcat with a RB taking the snap. It can definitely be a nice change of pace, and be effective in the short run. It was definitely that on Saturday night. But that can't be your offense in these days of the spread. Frankly I'm not sure we would have won Saturday without Mays eating up a lot of time and making several very important 1st downs. Nathan is a change of pace from MVG, but certainly NOT a potential replacement.

With the handcuffs on Mays (Obvious) that was not the intent. We needed to chew clock and ignite the run game. Otherwise we would have definitely lost that game ...no question about it. Just like SDSU. Our new found Big-12 offense is not working beyond a couple of sets in Q1 and maybe one set after the half. The difference between this game and SDSU is that we could not put up the same number of points in Q1 against SDSU, as we did against USD. We had only one TD in 3-quarters of football ...most of which was under the command of VG. That TD was by the defense.
Cheif, I am not saying replace VG with Mays (unless Mays is in the running for next year); but in order for he, or any QB to be effective, they must be allowed to utilize all facets of the offense, including the pass.
