I think in some way this loss is going to make this team better.

Hopefully Nus3noutmeier can get it together.

I feel like the only way this team does better is if we do what we NEED to on offense and not what we WANT to. We are dead last in conference in running attempts. That has to change. It doesn’t matter if you are 3ypc, run the ball 30 times a game. You have to attempt balance or you get what OM did and what Bama did last year where they say we’ll just cover.

shite man, last year after the USC game, which felt similar to this Ole Miss game, we ran off 6 straight. Yeah we got lucky in a few, but so do other teams. This defense should help create our own luck, offense MUST capitalize moving forward

Can’t make it worst

Five or ten years ago I would have agreed with the OP. In the NIL Portal era of show me the money mercenaries the concepts of team and pride have fallen by the wayside. IMHO College football as I have known it for nearly fifty years is D E A D!

I’m not being baited or fooled anymore by Kelly. He’s done. I’m not saying we won’t win 8 games on talent, but the Kelly era is over.

Boom

Move bo Bordelon to FB & that solves all the offensive issues

You are a genius

Idk, it’s a double-edged sword. We are actually pretty balanced on 1st down - 77 rush attempts to 73 pass attempts. But then down/distance starts to play a factor. If we were constantly trying to run between the tackles for 0-3 yards, the criticism would just be “we need to stop wasting plays” instead of “we need to commit to the run.”

I do think Sloan is way too quick to abandon the run entirely.. but I can at least somewhat understand it when the passing game is at least working. It’s a lot harder to justify in a game like OM where the passing attack just isn’t working.

So I think there’s some truth to what you’re saying, but you need more than just commitment. Ultimately you need production.

They seem to block better with toss plays where the line is moving laterally. But we don’t do that more. Why?
