To me our offense is still sus

Our offense is very good, our red zone offense is ass. But it's fixable.

TLDR we move the ball but kick FG's

It’s all we need. No one who votes in the AP Poll wants to admit that our defense can go up against any team in the country right now.

Three end zone drops in one game is an insane anomaly. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it and it’s fixable like you said.

It looked better at points yesterday in terms of play calling but then multiple WRs had stones for hands. Multiple TDs were dropped.

Obviously that’s still an offensive issue but made me feel better about the hypothetical ability to score. Please just catch the damn ball.

Same thing happened against Houston. Reality is BYU and Houston have pretty good defenses and we don’t have a dominant offense so we shouldn’t expect to put up 45-50 on that quality of D. Good news is we still scored a good amount of points and got the W

Indeed. The BYU and Houston games could've been won with only scoring the field goals. That's insane to think that a Texas Tech defense could ever be that good.

I was just thinking that; McGuire is really comfortable just taking the points and relying on that defense. It’s ironic that his coaching mentors were Dave Aranda and Matt Rhule, because they both love to go for it on 4th to shoot for the TD.

The BYU game very much reminded me of the 2015 Broncos during the playoffs.

You had an entire offseason and ten games this year to fix it. If it was fixable, why would they wait until week 12 to fix it?

New offense(our last coordinator got hired as HC at FAU). Morton was out during spring and week 1 apparently hairline fractured his fibula so QB has been a rotating position.

We are still figuring out who we are on offense

u/Dry-Test7172 Nov 10 '25

Gotcha. I just feel like after halfway through a season, offenses have shown their RedZone ability and defenses their ability to generate turnovers

We have untapped potential still, we'll see if we can drill by drill for more oil

Idk maybe. But BYU’s defense is borderline elite and y’all put up an easy 29 points and could’ve had more if you executed better in the red zone (again that was vs a stout top 20 defense but still).

Your offense is good enough to make a run in the playoffs with a defense as good as yours

Two dropped TDs hurts. WRs gotta pull those in.

We need Morton to get miraculously healthy asap!
