I wish Chris smith wouldn’t have played in this game

Ditto

It was stated that Ben would be the starter and backed up by CF.

Different thread, different topic.

His play today was encouraging going into next year.

Ben didn't play today. CF play was always going to be encouraging with more reps.

[Turbine]

Nope not at UL.

6-7 going into the bowl.

He won

Our DBs got beat on five long passes. Four complete. Are we slow or was it poor positioning.
We were trying to keep plays in front of us but golly we were beaten a number of times.

It was said he went 6-7 his first year. That in fact is not true, he went 7-7 his first year.

Opposite, was 7-6, lost to Tulane in the Cure Bowl. 7-7.

Ben didn't play today. CF play was always going to be encouraging with more reps.

Again, his comment was not about either of those players.

The backup QB play today was encouraging going into next year.

It’s time for the festivus airing of grievances…..

Tough call, because when they position correctly, Houston's offense turns those routes into slant routes.

I will say this, Houston's offense is accustomed to having three times as many of those types of plays per game.

And who calls the plays?

Des. He has a bad OL, WR who cannot make contested catches and today a RB who made two critical fumbles. If he does not address the offensive deficiencies in the next 1-2 years I will place all the blame on him.

You left it open with "not true" I just filled in the blanks.

Besides he was correct on the number of losses, so you should have replied 'half true'
