Is this team 80s bad or 2000s bad? Or a new low?

We were competitive in games in ‘88 at a level that I do not see us reaching this year.

‘03 was 17n pathetic in the back half and that feels like where we’re at.

Been going to games for over 45 years, and I think this is as bad as I’ve seen us. 83-90 was pretty bad, but I don’t think one of those teams would’ve Gwen blown out by Toledo.

2002-2003 were the worst I’ve ever seen. We’d be rolling and then give up as soon as the other team scored. And that was in the era where scoring 28 points on 400 yards was prolific. That’s nothing these days, and we’d lose by 3+ TDs every loss.

It’s an entirely different era right now, in a situation where we lost everybody on both sides of the ball and on the sidelines. I don’t see people quitting, but they can’t tackle or block.

If anybody can point out examples of team being put in a worse spot than us this season, I’d like to see it. And, not like a Marshall tragedy situation…. A self-inflicted one like ours.

This game. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2003-09-20-houston.html

We were down 21-0 with 7 minutes left in the 1stQuarter to an average CUSA Team (finished 7-6)

Houston coasted after going up 28-0. we scored 14 vs 3rd teamers in the final 5 minutes of the game.
