Lance is 2-8 in recent one score games. One perspective is that he has made us "competitive." Is that enough? We lost by one score to a team that has essentially the same NIL football budget. Could have won if we'd have cleaned up the mistakes. Remember . . . the stats were in our favor. Let's hope the staff can clean up the mistakes moving forward.
BTW The up and coming coach is at Tulsa -- Tre Lamb. One last thought: It's not an even playing field. Our football NIL is 11th in the 16-team Big 12.

We won the stats game, but 3 turnovers and 0 for 3 on 4th down. The biggest swing factors in any game.
Mistakes that need to be cleaned up. Poor play at times.
Lance's decision making has improved over his years here, BUT the team's execution has gotten worse. Which, you can argue, is on Lance, as well.

@Texas-Hawk-10 His foot is in a boot!!

This is exactly why I never had interest in traveling to London. The trip home would be miserable.

Marshall throwing better. And throwing away when he should.
Receivers better than expected. #5 is really talented. Notice neither #7 playing today. Starting tight end out. Our beast RB #6 is out, too.

You HAVE to be able to pick up one yard! No excuses.

SOOO disappointing.

I don't know if the directional punt was a good idea or not, but the execution was Terrible.
An inaccurate passing QB limited our ability to get a first down on that last series.

@wissox83 Agree Agree. Not much hope for anything other than mediocrity.

JUST like a Leipold team to fold before half or end of game. Just awful. Changes momentum going into the half. SOOOO disappointing.

Defense better than expected. I've seen multiple missed assignments on offense. (Don't jinx him) Nagy, an unheralded player last year, has yet to drop a punt . . . and showed some speed today!

None of OC's trick formations have worked this year. Gonna be tough with an inaccurate QB.

Here are some numbers from "The NIL Standard." These are NIL for football only:
Texas $48.9 mil
LSU $42.7 mil
Oregon $42.3
Ohio St $38.0 mil
Ole Mis is at $35.0 mil and Indiana is at $33.0 mil
In the Big 12 Tech is $35.9 mil and Houston is at $26.9 mil
Kansas is ranked 11th in the conference, spending $19.7 mil

I wrote "at best." We should all be concerned about the changing direction of this team.

Sooo disappointing. Looks like another 5-7 season at best. Marshall's three turnovers, inaccurate passing and poor judgement will not lead us to a winning record. The offensive line is ineffective. The defensive line (strong against the run) cannot put pressure on the QB. Simmons made some incredibly accurate throws that he would not have made under pressure. In seven seasons, LL does not have a win over Misery or the Pussy Cats. Hmmmmm. The up and coming coach is at Tulsa.
I feel embarrassed. My school "took the high ground" to get back in bed with it's sworn enemy so that they could stomp us on our home turf. In spite of our mistakes, this was a winnable game and our squad blew it. Where do we go from here. I might not be long before a shiny new, expensive stadium could be empty. I do not see a positive future for this program.

Just win, baby! And they will come.

@kjayhawks2.0 Because they brought in a very successful coach . . . and his highly rated QB . . . and a bunch of players from North Texas.

They were Big Ten refs. There's your answer. No shame is cheating from Michigan. It's more than a pattern.

@rockchalkjayhawk A little late for that!

@kjayhawks2.0 Fancy stadiums don't win championships. I attended a game in Lincoln in the 1990's. What a dump!
