Fully agree with Chowder. This game was lost for many reasons...the first field goal attempt that was blown by a bad snap could be called the reason for the loss. The offensive PF for a facemask call on Coleman that killed one of our critical drives when we were moving could be suggested as the reason for our loss. Multiple blown coverages allowing UW to complete big plays and convert multiple 3rd and longs could be listed as the reason for our loss. The fact is that we didn't lose because of any one (or two) things. We lost because of many, many mistakes. We have some deep rooted issues. I don't see these being cleaned up quickly, because these are the type of issues that rarely appear on well coached teams.

"The fact is that we didn't lose because of any one (or two) things." Continuing this thought, even if we were to list reasons we lost by outcome on the game, Garbers' play does not crack the top 5. We have issues as you said, and the author's assertion he "threw the game away" is disingenuous at best. It'd be at least debatable if he threw a bad pick to end overtime, but that's not what happened.
