Not a fan of the grey unis, plays into the grey field thing even more, which gives people (Brian Jones, half the internet, last spring's commencement speaker) an excuse not to take us seriously. Not that the team is helping with that. Ross Tucker pointed out that we had a light box for most of the first half. We also were playing two rush ends. That combined with the injuries to Merritt, Crawford, Bogan and it isn't any surprise that we got ran over today. Peyton Price also needs to be called out for that stupid personal foul on the one first down they didn't gain yards on. Clearly the play calling was the biggest culprit here. The defense kept sitting back allowing Buffalo to chew up clock. Austin Smith did an admirable job of going blow for blow while also fighting the clock. The offensive game plan wasn't the one that needed alterations, the defensive plan did. Chris Creighton has made this program viable, I am becoming increasingly skeptical he can do more than that for an FBS program. Will there be any accountability? I doubt it, higher ups are content with Creighton, and there's not enough attention from outside the University (except this site) for me to believe he'll ever have to answer many difficult questions (but please keep doing so).

Smith looked pretty good overall, particularly for a first start. He should play the rest of the way. This team isn’t competing for a MAC title in 2022. Develop for the future.

Creighton’s quotes, today and in general, are unhelpful.
