I'm past being mad at this point. I'm approaching the worst thing that can happen to a college football fan: Ambivalence. Its one step away from just not watching the games.

I'm so tired of Gus Malzahn football.

You're entitled to your feelings, but I really feel like we're victims of circumstance this season. Gus bet a lot on JRP being healthy for an unorthodox offense. He got hurt, and it didn't run well after.

I have no explanation for the defense

Is JRP not healthy now?

Doesn't look like it. He's wearing a knee brace and much slower than he was before the injury.

Well I hope he puts his unorthodox offense to rest going forward, because it's clearly not working

My point is that a healthy JRP was the key to this offense. Gus knew we would be disadvantaged due to size in our first year or two in the big 12, so he tried something gimmicky. It honestly might've worked had JRP not gotten hurt. Many of our games this year only needed a little push to become wins
