What does that have ANYTHING to do with the facts I just laid out for you? Bama had more talent than ULM and lost by 7 because they went -4 in the turnover column. Auburn had more talent than NMST and lost by 21 in a game wherein neither team turned the ball over. That makes you feel better? Get ******* real and lose the nonsense. Generally speaking, an inferior team needs a s*** ton of turnovers to beat a superior team, OR they need to completely outcoach them. How did NMST beat us?

You think our talent level is so above and beyond we can just roll our helmets out there and win. We about have as many G5 and lower level P5 transfer players Starting as NM St. I'm not sure where u get this we have so much talent and their talent is inferior. I would take their QB over ours, WR same thing. If this loss would have happened in yr 3, then yeah it would be alarming. In a rebuild, kinda halfway expect it. History proves that, believe it or not. Should AU beat NM St? In normal times, yes. We aren't in normal times at AU for various reasons that have been discussed ad nauseum Edited November 19, 2023 by NWALA Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is their schedule and the records of the teams they have played before us. The teams they have beaten, not including us, have a combined record of (22-56). They have only beaten one team with a winning record before us. They have two losses to teams with losing records. Only UTEP and Middle Tennessee scored less than we did with 7 points each. Even winless Western Illinois scored 21 on them. Only three times this year, against FIU, Western Kentucky, and UMass, have they scored 30 points or more. This was not a great defense or a great offense we played. People want to bring up Saban's loss to La Monroe as comparable but it really isn't. If you want a more accurate equivalent, it is Chad Morris at Arkansas losing by 26 at home to (9-3) Western Kentucky. I don't think it can be overstated how bad of a loss this was. UMass (3-8) L Western Illinois (0-11) W Liberty (11-0) L New Mexico (4-7) W Hawaii (4-8) L FIU (4-7) W Sam Houston (2-9) W UTEP (3-8) W La Tech (3-9) W Western Kentucky (6-5) W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because what you would see is that we get WRs running wide open just as often as anyone else. (Well, maybe not as much as anyone else, but way more often than you think). But Thorne already knows where he's going to throw it before he snaps the ball and that's the only place he looks. He could have a WR stripped naked and wagging his dong on the other side of the field & he'd never know. He completed enough passes last night to give us a chance but it doesn’t do any good widen they’re negated by penalties time and time again. Everything was disjointed last night.

NWALA Tiger 3,709 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 All this talk about our talent level being so much better than NM st , consider this .. Over 75% of our starters on offense and defense are from G5 teams, JUCO, lower level P5 schools ( Vandy, Purdue etc).Our WR room is even worse. We got beat by G5 team. WE, CURRENTLY ARE A G5 TEAM, ROSTER WISE. We all know why that's the case. Again, if this happens in yr 2 or 3 sound the alarm bells. For now, it's painful part of the rebuild. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody yesterday said losing to FSU in the 2013 National Championship was just as bad….😐 I can think of a couple that we pulled a win out of our butts that would have been equally bad, but I can’t think of one like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama turned the ball over 4 times, forced 0 turnovers, and lost by one score. Bama had nearly 150 more offensive yards in that game. Their kicker even missed his lone attempt. They beat themselves with turnovers. That is VERY different from what you just witnessed yesterday. We lost by 21 points in a game wherein we didn't even turn the ball over once. We simply got manhandled from the first snap of the game to the last. Anyone with even a modicum of football knowledge knows that if you go -4 in the turnover column, anyone can beat you. ULM doesn't beat Bama without those turnovers. Again, this is drastically different from NMSU outright throttling us. Agree 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t have a “choice” and even if I did it doesn’t matter so I don’t see why you even ask Why there has to be “hugh freezers” or “non-Hugh freezers” is mind numbing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
