Take away that pretty pick as SMU was headed to the end zone (where our guy left the receiver) and a fumble call in a similar position where sure, I’ll take it, but must admit it didn’t look to me like indisputable evidence, and they have what, 14 more points and (nearly) cover the spread? I’m sure i’m forgetting other turning points. Hill bobbling but pulling in the pass for the 2 point conversion?

I’m glad our culture is generally positive. But we’ve also got to face reality. That offense needs work. I’d never had said I’m a “fire that guy” guy. I loved TfD as a player and was disappointed he had to be let go but the difference was stark after he was. Same with Tuiaki. What lesson do I take away? If someone has demonstrated they’ve hit their ceiling, and it’s not good enough, you move on. We now play big boy football. We’re better with Hill. So, who is the Jay Hill of OCs?
