for the first time, I feel like the team had it's spirit broken. I think what we saw in the second half was a team that was disheartened and one that had their spirit crushed.

Saturday will be telling.
 
The refs who work at TWC put us behind the 8 ball all day, and you cant win when theres no level playing field, spirit broken? No way jose.
 
not spirit broken; more like integrity and heart felt disappointment that game was not decided by competition but more by on field calls that were patently wrong.
 
I am not talking moving forward I am talking about today - second half. The seemed dejected because they knew they were under the gun
 
My spirit is shaken. This team has lost games that they had no business losing. Very dejected. 5-7 again is tough to swallow.
 
I'm saying it right now. Either this team goes bowling or they don't win another game. If they lose to L'Ville and Mizzou, they lose to Temple with nothing to play for.

There's no 5-7 for this team

Disagree. UofL is just better. We don't play well on the road and Mizzou is more talented. We more than likely lose both. I think we beat Temple for the seniors.
 
I saw a defense that couldn't stop the run.

But they never quit playing.

Today was never a day we had in the W column (or most didn't).

The way we lost was frustrating, but the fact we did not as much.

If we can play un-stupid, we can be with Louisville come Saturday.

I saw a defense that was tired, could not pressure, and could not pursue the run. That is on the offense. They had too many 3 and outs and did not make the plays they had to make. Reddish could have helped his mates immensely with a pick six. Our offense just plain stunk today.

479 yards is not horrible.

But we have to translate yards into more points.

Wait a minute.

Cincy moved the ball at will.

We couldn't stop them.

You won't win if you can't defend and we could not defend today.

The defense got run through all day. Not just late. 2 weeks in a row of bad tackling and bad scheme.

They couldn't stop us, either. We stopped them enough to win the game. There were a few pivotal moments where we failed to execute on O, D and ST. And then the refs took at least that clear fumble recovery off the board.

It was clear that the BE didn't want us anywhere near "their" BCS game this year. Give Marrone credit for taking the high road.

WHAT GAME ARE YOU WATCHING???? 3 AND OUTS?? We went up and down the field on them ALL DAY! Even with the drops I'm not sure we went 3 and out twice all day. This one is 100% on the defense
