We had a couple calls go our way as well. And if the kid hit the FG we would have been all over Mullen for the 2 missed 2 pt conversions. If he would have just kicked the extra points their FG would have only tied the game.
And let’s not forget our own missed chip shot FG.

I think Mullen likes FF toughness and motor. He makes some bone headed plays, like lobbing up that int off his back foot, again, but no one says he doesn’t play hard.

The play of the game, and somewhat lucky was the last second pitch by Trask to Perine for the TD.

I don't know if that was quick decision making or panic on Trask's part but it worked and that's what we need. No way in hell Franks makes or even tries that pitch. He gets tackled of the 4 yard line and we kick a field goal.

Mullen needs to implement one of those Big 12 offenses and throw it around the field. We have 6-7 great receivers and a couple of TEs that can catch. THROW IT!

Blackmail. It's the only explanation.

You're absolutely right: Trask comes in and Mullen calls 10 passes in a row and opens up the offense. The UK defense didn't know what hit them. A QB making quick decisions with a quick release? Oh the humanity!
He had no choice but to throw the ball. We were behind, running out of time and couldn’t generate any semblance of a running game.

I think we will get a huge reality check with Auburn at how limited this offense is with no RB rushing game. And again against GA and LSU.

Since when has that ever stopped Mullen from making dumb calls?

You definitely seem down in the dumps now that your boy Franks isn't the QB. Someone told me you were in tears when it happened.

I was sick for the kid. He’s worked hard to improve his game.
Mullen has typically been a pretty solid play caller...in crunch time. Not so great earlier in the game. He’s pretty stubborn IMO.

Just curious, how many QB's has Mullen almost broken in half with his offense. Fitzgerald and Franks come to mind.

I wouldn't argue about that, I think that's who we are now as a program, and until recruiting improves that's what we'll be. Occasionally beat one of the big boys like LSU last year.
Agree. Let’s hope he figures it out. We must recruit better.

I hope I never get to the point where every time we get a break or the ball bounces our way that I consider it luck, but whenever the breaks go the other way its because we suck.

We won’t beat Missouri, either. We can’t score enough points to keep pace IMO.
Non-existent run game in a Mullen offense is a recipe for failure.
I think we end up beating Mizz this year. Before I was thinking we’d lose 4-5 this year.

Changing because of Trask’s preparedness and the gambler mentality of CDM. And Savages results.
