We need to develop other plays for short yardage other than aQB sneak(everyone in the stadium knew what play was going to be called DUH!) Potts definitely is not the QB that Grahmn Harold was and he will NEVER be able to lead this team to a 10 WIN SEASON!! He does not have the ARM,SPEED< SMARTS or LEADERSHIP to lead this team to the GREAT year we had last year.Potts continues to make BAD decisions!!!! He has to be able to get out of the pocket and he continues to throw off his back foot.He never sees his secondary or third receiver. Harrold constantly saw the secondary receiver and other options. Potts only sees the primary receiver.Also, that last second Hail Mary was only 30 yards short!!! Pretty bad when your receivers have to change their routes and come back up the field to catch the long ball.Coach Mike is a GREAT COACH and he will lead us again to national prominence!!!The RED RAIDER OFFENSE needs change NOW!!! NOT after we have 5or 6 more losses! TECH is loaded with great athaletes and talent.Lets try something new.Potts has not played against a great defense,it wont be pretty when he does!!!!I am sure we will bounce back against New Mexico( BIG WHOOP)Hopefully Carter and Williams will be back soon.

Can any coach or fellow player or fan disagree with the statement thathe is upset that they are 2-2? So that's not where he saw his senior year going, that is a truthful statement. THEN, he follows it up with acceptance of responsibility, "I want us to be so good my last year and I feel like I’m letting everyone down.” He is owning up to not being better. Doesn't a captain lead by example? What better way than having your all-american say he needs to be better. The message should flow through the locker room to every player. I wonder if he said that at a post-game news conference, or interview would he stil have been suspended. Shame on TT! I don’t understand why he is being stripped his captaincy and being suspended.

Toughen up Raiders! We got hit in the nose twice. So what! Get up and quit whining about it. We need to earn some of that respect we crave. You earn respect for being tough not for being weak. Quit the hysterics, UT does it better anyway. Anyone can support a winning team. It isn't as easy to support a team when it struggles. It was fun last year; everything came so easily. Easy to us fans anyway. The team is having to work just as hard only with lessor results this year. We will find out about this team if they still are fighting to win in November without the grandiose limelight. We are finding out about Red Raider fans right now. And it isn't pretty.
