Why try to make it a 1 score game on fourth down inside their 20 with 6 minutes to go in the second quarter when you can take a 7 yard sack and keep it a two score game ? Incompetent

Might try to spark the O with. QB change.  Line hasn't had the best protection, but lost faith in Irvin.

Interior DL is an issue and doesnt seem we have anyone to step in.  LBs absent on both those bigger runs as well.

Kicker is the the best player on the team and that's a problam.

This might be a 1 win team.  To make things worse we have a ton of personal fouls for being stupid assholes and that isn't acceptable when it's costing opportunities.

If we cant compete in this conference, we are dangerously close to needing to move down or ax the program.  I hate even saying that as it's heartbreaking to think, but there are too many struggles being WIU.  I love Western with all my heart, but it's very depressing.

We are pretty much the same team as last year minus a couple of good playmakers on offense.
Embrace the pace of the race.

I am concerned about the direction of this program; a change is needed

We just changed to a new head coach last year.   This is year 2.  That is a quick hook and I personally think the coach is good

I think we saw today that the freshman needs to be QB 1. The good news is that there are a lot of other bad teams in the league. Hopefully some of the injured players can come back and we can win a few of those games

Sorry, should have clarified; changes on the defensive side. If we had a decent defense, we would be a much better team.
