Klein is dreadful. Every drive, he called the same run up the middle on first down, screen pass on second, and then had an offense that acted like they'd never seen a blitz before on third. He is terrible.

---

After the screen to Bussey that was a bit high but certainly catchable everyone was saying give it to Moss

Next major series
We give it to Moss and get nothing everyone complains

One play call in which the ball goes off the hands and into the defense for a huge play and Klein "sucks"

Never change Texags

Klein is HOT GARBAGE! 3 and out on the last drive was effing RIDICULOUS

Marcel needs to pull handoff to Moss and run it himself.

I feel like I was watching an entirely different game than all of the people hating on Klein. We had over 400 yards of offense against a respectable defense, were perfectly balanced run vs pass, and left 10 points on the board directly through FG missed and a penalty that brought a TD back which aren't Kleins fault at all. That's not mentioning the interception where all 3 players directly involved in the play (C, QB, and WR) all screwed up. Would a 33-3 final score still be drawing this ire from you? Because that's the minimum of where we'd be without the fluky nonsense. We moved the ball at will and almost every unsuccessful drive was because of the refs. Obviously the penalties are a concern but the offense is humming through 4 games.

You were. Most people here are complete idiots.

The only reason we didn't blow them out was the refs.

Having to work to catch simple shotgun snaps does not help either. That has to be better. Tough watch but we won. Be happy yall. Damn

Yeah, the reason he's a coach is that he played football and then went into coaching. That doesn't make him any smarter than any of us. He is ****ing awful, and it always rears its ugly head at the worst possible times. He might be an adequate play caller 95% of the time, but if he's going to **** himself during the really critical 5% (which he did last year too), it cancels out the rest, and he can't be trusted to call the right plays in do or die situations.

This is just lack of football understanding. Yes we wanted a run….when it was 3rd and 1 in the red zone with two plays to get a yard. Yes we wanted a pass on the next series….when they were keying on Moss, first when it was 2nd and long right before the 2 minute timeout and the clock was going to stop anyway, and again when it was 3rd and 11 and a first down would have won the game. Completely different situations. It's bizarre that I have to explain that to you.

We won so it didn't matter today, but there will not be a margin for that kind of error in future games.

You're either a fan, or you're not.

At some point criticism goes beyond reason, and the critic needs a swift kick in the ass.

You can root for the team when they win, be just as upset as they are when they lose, but at some point you need to flip the bird to the haters & just be supportive.

These are young men playing a physical game, and it's allot of fun to watch. Don't let dissapointment suck the fun out of it...and don't suck the fun out of it for others.

Are you really this stupid?

Game plan wasn't bad.

If 10 had played better, we could easily have had over 500 yards worth of offense and won comfortably.

Rushed for almost 4X the amount of yards that Auburn had given up so far this season on a day that Reed wasn't at his best.

I'm good with the small brain farts… would rather not have his name floating around for the OSU job like I saw the other day.

The answer is yes you are and also an emotional child.

We got the win. That's the good part! Defense looked pretty darn good too! I mean 177 yards of total offense for Auburn. Hopefully that is a warmup for Clanger next week whose offense is likely better than Auburn's.

Sure we need to work on some things, especially to ensure we get those points on the board. Maybe some offensive chair throwing on Elko's part will do the trick. I like that better than wringing my hands over a win when traditionally we would've lost a game like this. On to next week.

Let me try to help some of you.

On our first drive we drive it right down the field. Not even 3 minutes have gone by in the game and we have a TD. But then we do not score another TD in the next 57 minutes.

What the heck changed. Well it was obvious but apparently not to some of you.

I will give a few examples. There are many more than this.

Our second drive we start driving it down the field again. On a very nice run play we get a holding call by our center that was extremely ticky tacky. Ends up killing the drive.

And so it begins.

There was a clear agenda by this crew after what took place last week to Auburn. And I knew they would get some cheap calls but this was way over the top.

On one play, they call holding on two players. Think about that one. Have you ever seen that one?

On another, they call holding when an Auburn player just fell down on his own.

And of course they take a touchdown away on a bad call.

Klein made one bad call in the game
One

But the officiating was bad and killed our offense on multiple drives with BS calls.

Let's see what our offense does the next few week without this BS agenda by the SEC where they went over the top for screwing up last week.

And in case you were living under a rock. The SEC released a statement that they messed up in the Auburn/OU game. And they never do things such as this. So they made sure they were on Auburn's side this week.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but think crappy calls against A&M are historically present. Some may say that's sour grapes, but whatever.

The only thing left to ponder is, what makes you think they're done with their BS agenda next week when we play Clanga? How about the week after? I'd be shocked if there aren't more BS calls to come against us, especially since it appears we're on the cusp of being pretty darn good!

He is about the same level as Jimbo as a play caller and a quarterback guru. Mediocre on his best day.

Some of you didn't pay attention when the SEC said they cost Auburn the game in the statement.

We had to beat Auburn an the refs, and we did. Our offensive did enough, and yes the call was dumb in hindsight but if 2 hands on the ball should be catchable as well.

Is Klein perfect? No. Is he doing his job yes. Auburn also has a very salty defense and is all around better than ND, especially the front 7 (secondary is a weak spot but they got their stud DB back from injury this week as well).

Was it that obvious?

It was calls for Auburn and I pointed out the reason why. Not against A&M. It should be fine going forward until the Texas game.

Penalties killed us. But defense saved us

My take away. We are 4-0 so this is next year

If Marcel could hit a long ball it would open up the passing game more


Couple of dropped passes hurt

Man we got a good set of running backs

Marcel needs to pull a couple of RPOs and run to keep them thinking he might pull and run. If you don't do it that threat is eliminated

There's holding on every play, everyone says. Well they called them on us.


Didn't like the bussey play call when it happened. Then the result was horrible. But with a adequate snap, maybe 10 would have been able to make a better throw because that play is rushed and you have to get it out quick, he's usually pretty good with that throw

But man if 10 could hit an open 40 yard pass . We would have an extra TD every game

Man out defense looked good. Just love to see them play the run so well and our DB being able to handle 1 on 1 against some top teir WR


Only reason some one is angry , is because they didn't cover the line. We won they lost and we are 4-0

BTHO miss st

Only real gripe I have was the 3rd and 1 play call and it's legit. Run the damn ball or, at the very least, go vertical.

Take the blinders off

Only on TexAgs can you find a group of fans so miserable after 400+ yards of offense and a win. But I get it. It was a frustrating game to watch.

1. Reed just has no accuracy on the long ball. He may eventually hit one, but that would be like a blind squirrel finding a nut. But his other attributes outweigh this one deficiency, which is why (I assume) he is the starter.

2. Officials kept this game low scoring. They didn't just throw the flags on us, they threw them on both teams. And I don't watch every week to see the officials throwing hankies. Some of this was probably due to the incessant whining from ND fans and media (is there a difference?) over the missed holding calls two weeks ago, and some of it is probably due to the incessant whining from Auburn over missed calls against OU.

I wouldn't mind seeing our AD whine his head off this week about the officiating in this game. It seems to get into their heads and impact their actions in the next game.

Every week you reaffirm that you're ******ed

So, in a game where Auburns offense couldn't manage a SINGLE yard in the 4th quarter, you would have taken a chance throwing a pass. If we don't catch it, best possible scenario is the clock stops. Worst is they intercept the ball. On our side of the field.

Na. You work the clock and have confidence that your defense is going to keep doing what it's been doing all game.
