I don't really see how the clones can only score 13 points.

Make no mistake, the 3rd highest paid coaching staff in the Big 12 deserves some blame here.

You can't win ballgames when you're on the wrong side of a +4 turnover margin.  We saw that last year when BM wasn't checking down but rather locking in on a target and his INT numbers skyrocketed.  A new coach wasn't going to magically fix that, and here we are 0-2 as a team and Meyer's got a 1-4 TD-INT ratio.  Throw in a couple of high snap fumbles and a few muffed punts and it's a miracle we're scoring at all.  The defense is playing well enough to win, but the offense isn't giving the team a chance.  The worst part is, these turnovers are giving the opposition incredible field position (think of the INT return to the 6 yard line or whatever in the KSU game).  We're lacking composure out there, and I truly believe it comes from a losing mentality.  I think the worst part of McCarney's legacy is not that he left the barn empty, but that he left the barn full of mentally-scarred players.  It sounds harsh, but maybe the best way to sum it up is "you can't win with losers".  I don't know if you can teach mental toughness, but I sure hope to god Chizik can.  I hate to write off all of Mac's players, but I'm thinking a clean slate is what Chizik needs, and he won't get that for 4 years.  

One more thing, I still think Chizik is our guy.  I think he's a tough s.o.b. who's going to hammer in his philosophy.  It's just going to take time and probably different players.  

Multiple people have talked about the need for a change in mindset. Going from "I'm good enough to lose in the Big 12" to "I'm good enough to win the Big 12 north if not the Big 12". This change in mindset has to be the biggest hurdle for Coach Chizik. With the defense that we have, they have played well enough that we should have been able to win had we kept down turnovers in both games and actually scored like we are capable of.
