So what’s the reason we regressed after the Bama game?

Depth.

Depth and fatigue

That game has so much buildup, they left it all out there. We were lucky we didn’t lose at Arky.

Perhaps we played over our heads for the Bama game and came back to our baseline thereafter. That was kind of our Super Bowl. Sometimes guys step it up a notch for certain games, but eventually come back down.

The team was tired.

Multiple reasons:

Really teams adjusted on Daniels and recognized he wasn’t going to test them deep. When teams stopped fearing the deep pass, the closed in their defenses and cluttered the box making it harder to run.

On defense, teams schemed Perkins out of the game and the fatigue factor kicked in heavily for the defense.

Injuries to key players with limited quality depth behind them hurt too.

Overall, team just looked tired. I think they gave so much for the Bama game and never recovered.

Defensive scheme

Honestly we have to get to the point where bama is just another game instead of the game

Putin’s invasion.

Lack of Depth. This team laid it all out against Alabama and Peaked , it showed in the Arkansas, Texas A&M game. Tired bodies and not enough energy is why we regressed.
