This is the Catastrophe Syndrome in slow motion

If we look bad against atm someone will be fired, Miles will tell us everything will be better next year and be searching for more horseshoes, rabbit feet, four leaf clovers or whatever else he shoves up his arse during the season

Need a new coach that people can get behind.

Then the hunger will return.

I agree we should stop comparing ourselves with Bama. It's depressing. Ark is our new measuring stick.

For all intent and purpose, they (Bama) beat LSU in two consecutive games because we let it happen. The coaches have to own that. The question is, how do they fix it?

When you get blown out by a team that hadn't beaten an SEC team since 2012, then you might be having a catastrophe.

When Arkansas shuts you out and you become the first ranked team they have shut out in school history, you might be having a catastrophe.

When VANDERBILT has a higher ranked passing offense that you, then you very well could be in the middle of a catastrophe.

If this is slow motion I hate to see it at full speed.

All of your points are valid. How do we stop it and return our identity of a dominating football team for 60 minutes? Somewhere along the line, we lost that identity.

We shouldn't compare ourselves to BAMA. We should gameplan all year to BEAT BAMA because they compete with us for every major recruit in our state. We must beat them at all costs

The D is fine position. We're missing a game changer in the return game with blazing speed (ditto on offense...though Dural is pretty fast ). We're going overboard with trying to impose our will. We don't take enough chances on offense and we don't mix up what we're doing at all. We let them know what is coming and dare the D to stop it. That's fine when it is working, but when it does not, we have no backup plan. Also, playing like that usually leaves little to no room for defensive errors and makes it hard for our talent on offense to shine. The QB development is very slow and seems to be partly related to our simple offense which is easy for defenses to figure out and it leaves us getting minimal gains (in yards and in QB confidence).

the pen of brook trout opened up 1 9 2012 and are swimming like mullets problem is they are being fed by run run run pass punt game plans, intermittent clock mgt bumbles, and a clear failure to avoid underachieving read option qb's that apparently don't improve over the season. say what you will about negatigers and how fortunate we are to have miles, but after 11 games, a bagel against Arkansas, who gives up over 20 a game, is a an indictment of the offensive talent and the coaching at the qb position. and while I'm at it, at center as well, where I counted 6 plays where 55 was the cause of a stop, fumble, sack, tackle, or penalty in the first quarter alone. he was getting burned in the u la mo game and it hasn't stopped. if he's that bad then it's on the coaches for being stuck with such sad options. if 10 is our best chance for victory, then dear lord please quit recruiting read option qbs who can't progress through their progressions during the year, pun intended. 7 is a sweep player and out the back field player, not a up the middle player and not a kick returner. try 34 up the middle and try 8 as a kr.
