People are pissed because Miles didn't pull Jennings, I get that, but I'm not so sure it would have helped. Here's why.

This team was deflated after the Bama game, with good reason.

We were on the road, in cold weather, against a very hungry, very good defensive team.

Arkansas stopped the run rather easily, this was the key, It was a great game plan. Make a team with a very poor QB 1 dimensional, put a little pressure on him, and it's a walk in the park.

The offensive line was horrible Saturday night, both in run and pass blocking.

It was not Jennings fault, I have been waiting for this to happen, and I bet you all have as well.

We need a better QB yes, but Jennings was not put in a situation that catered to the little bit he can do.

As for the Offensive play calling, well, nothing more to say about that.

It happened vs Auburn and Miss St also. Never have I seen this team dominated like this, especially not 3 times in the same season.

Jennings should have been benched long before Bama game. We would have beat Bama and Arkansas. Problem solved everything else falls into place

We go into every game with the same game plan, which is too predictable. If we were to ever start a game in the shotgun formation, I bet the defensive coordinators would shite themselves trying to find a new defensive scheme. We treat every opponent the same by thinking we will just line up and run our basic shite.

It is not just play calling. This team does not prepare well in practice! The coaches are completely to blame for this. Then in games, the coaches do not put their players (QB) in a position to succeed. Where is Melvin Jones in the flat? Yes, he dropped one ball, but that play is consistently there, but we never go to it, except Fla. game. Dink and dunk to open up the vertical game. This offensive coaching staff prepares NOT TO LOSE.

I hope Les is taking note of the Fla. situation!

You have 0 points and no hope of getting any. What do you have to lose?

Then you didn't watch the 2008 season.

UGA, UF, and Ole Miss brutalized us.

Oh we also lost to a shitty Arkansas team.

But then we got better.

I think we will get better next year.

Everybody wants to point to a "Bama hangover" but I think game happens regardless if we won or lost

I don't disagree with the OP, but what frustrates me is that there is something so unexplainalbe about our coach's handling of QB's. If he tries Harris, he gets him experience and it shows the team and fans that he hasn't quit. Plus, it really might help.

No it wasn't his entirely. The rest of the team had been carrying him all season. This time it was too big of a load. Miles is just putting more on him, as he did Lee and JJ for them to carry, with such and offensive scheme.

yea so did jennings when he came into the 3rd quarter and for the rest of the game.

Jennings is not the answer and if you have no chance of getting any points, why not put Harris in? Harris needs game time experience and reps for the future. What's it going to hurt? We are going to the Tampax Toilet Bowl anyways.

It's a combination of inept play calling, poor QB play, and a poor offensive scheme.

There aren't a lot of QB's that will look worth a crap when we set them up in 3rd and long situations. You can't be so predictable on offense, and we are woefully predictable. It's maddening.
