    That pretty much typifies the season.

    I wish they'd fire Nick Howell.

    I wish we played more disciplined.

    I wish Bronco didn't call timeout before that kick. I hate giving guys 2 chances on those.

    I'm glad we had Stew this year. It was fun to watch him come in to his own.

    Pretty disappointing year. If you told me we'd be 8-5 again, I'd have laughed. I felt like anything less than 10 or 11 wins this year was a huge disappointment. So, the season was a failure in my mind. We had the schedule to go unbeaten and did the same thing we did last year against a hard schedule due to coaching, injuries, and whatever else seems to always happen to us.

        It's too bad Xian's career had to end with an INT. He had a really strong run, esp. for a walk-on, back-up QB whose major goal (perhaps you've heard this) was to throw a single TD pass. A tough season, but not without a lot of entertainment.

          That fight was fun to dissect.

            but, that p12 membership is really paying huge dividends in vegas bowl bids against the third place mwc team!

              Its great that a bunch of our players will now likely be suspended for the first game next year for fighting.

                Enough blame and bad luck to go around. I would rate this season a mild failure, if we adjust for the injuries and bad luck. Losing to Memphis made it a mild failure. If BYU had won, it would have been a mild, meekly mild, success.

                Two lackluster seasons in a row for Bronco.
                It's like five lackluster seasons in a row for Bronco.

                What happened at the end? I turned it off as soon as the ball was picked, big fight?

                    Agreed. 4th string walk on played his heart out.

                      If Nacua hadn't punched 40 in the back of the head I think most of the blame would've gone to Memphis for the fight.

                        i guess when your eye is split open you feel like you have to get one in even if it is cheap.

                          More people will watch the Fiesta Bowl than the Miami Bowl and Vegas Bowl combined. It will be nice to be these little bowls out of the way so we can get to the big bowls.

                            This is how I feel too. However, the meh feeling is deeper than just that for me. I feel it about the whole program.

                                By that time he was in full meltdown having already giving and receiving a decent beating.
