9 for 89 yards. You can't give up that many yards in penalties and expect to win when you can't get that many yards in the first place.
 
It boggles my mind, how much momentum they went into the locker room with, and then here comes the second half, and practically nothing.

Wiscy isn't a bad team, but they are very one dimensional this year.
 
I just don't get the lack of discipline. All I heard was that we were going to be a much more disciplined team with Bo gone. That simply has proven not to be the case. Are our guys' minds somewhere else? Do they think they won't lose their job for a few penalties? What is it about Riley that makes his teams have so many penalties?

It will not change. Penalties have been a trend for most his career.

I know...but why is that the case? He seems like a disciplined guy himself. The guys don't seem to be playing scared (I think that is why we had some penalties under Bo). I just don't get why this is the case with Riley.

No idea - but what we know is that he has no idea how to fix it.
 
Well we've been averaging 12 a game? 9's an improvement. One was on coach. One was on our all everything DT for being offsides. And one was on I think Cockerell when he should have interecepted the ball that he broke on near the goal line.

I can live with those 3, there was another one for 5 men in the backfield, so now you are down to 5 calls I don't remember.
