I bet the other way in case they don't. It isn't a lot of money but just a mental win when we lose - if that makes sense. It does, I understand why some people hedge their bets like that but I can’t do it (instead of either way being happy either way I’d be angry and it would just not feel good to me; we all have to cope in our own ways though).

This game was an indicator that we are not close to beating good passing teams yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a lot more speed on offense. My guess is we'll see it next year He seems to slip a lot when he makes is cuts or goes down as you mentioned with n arm tackle. Can’t sustain a big burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the team doesn't quit and comes out for blood next week. Hungry legs feed the wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He like Atkins are the type that can make something out of nothing. He looks fast as hell every time he is in open space. At this point it should be atkins, joiner, wright, Simmons and the top 4 to game plan around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's weird is that the defense has been this bad for this long. We've known it is THE issue but can't bring in anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer the offense we were running with the interim coach and our last offensive coordinator. I'm sure our rankings are better now so there's more upside, but we got nothing from a variety standpoint. Maybe it was having all those good players that made it look better but Weaver was gone against UCF. I like our tempo which is a huge advantage, but when we panic or get twisted up we just run it up the middle like a nervous tick and then do some run around backyard football thing. I'm not saying fire everyone or anything silly but UAB had all this misdirection and used their speed for example. Not sure what I am trying to say but we need an artist to come up with the one two punch here. Edited November 18, 2023 by Rocky Style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the speed to do the things you say you want done (and the other teams aren't doing anything that different from us either. Pointed that out last night). We haven't lost 6 games because of our coaching or play calling ... we've won 5 because of our coaching and play calling. Sit back and enjoy next week's win and our first bowl game in several years. The future is bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
