We would be saying “we’re back”. Nuss was way better … we need Johnson to run the dang ball … and the next deep ball that’s open won’t be dropped ??. Those 3 things don’t happen and we obviously feel different. They don’t happen again and we might be completely surprised at where we are 4 weeks from now! Except we have Burger King! Waiting on you BK to become a real Tiger!

You're not wrong...however...it feels much better being 4-5 plays away from what we think we could be compared to feeling as if the whole thing is broken beyond repair.

At this point the players have to repair it! BK didn’t make those mistakes and I won’t blame him for them anymore!

So if the three biggest negative plays don't happen, we would feel better about the game? Is there anything that leads you to believe we have the capability to cut out the negative plays on offense?

And even excluding those three negative plays, we still couldn't punch the ball into the endzone from the 1 yard line to seal the game. This team is mediocre. Defense is elite, offense is below average. BK cannot seem to put together a complete team.

Most games in this conference are going to come down to a handful of plays. So yeah, we were 3 plays away from blowing them out. We were probably 3 plays away from losing to Florida too. It goes both ways.

We need the quarterback to toughen up, learn how to read basic defenses, stop throwing costly interceptions, and score more than 20 points. You do realize that Nuss has more weapons than any other college team. BK is the least of your problems; it’s the QB, he's dogshite. We saw what JD5 and JB accomplished with the weapons they had—they all got drafted in the first round. Meanwhile, Nuss's players are seeing their draft stock weekly. I saw Barion become upset with the lack targets Saturday.

Instead he fumbled twice, threw 2 INTs, and could've easily threw a third INT with his superman throw on the sidelines that was in double coverage. He fortunate both fumbles fell right back into his chest. One of those fumbles was on the goal to seal the game. Had they picked that up and possibly ran it back for 6 would've tied the game up worst case scenario. He played like shite against SC.

You don't think South Carolina could do the same thing?

They had NINE pre-snap penalties and the game is in the balance until the end.

The point OP is making is we haven't even been in the position to be 3-4 plays away from a blow out this year.

Looking back at it, the Clemson game should not have been as close as it was. The Brown no TD and the Hilton frick up before the half add 10 points. I don't care what anyone says about the decision to go for it there (it wasn't smart, with that play call) Hilton should have 100% gotten the 1st down.

The offense was awful against UF, and Nuss was clearly still hurt. We really only "missed" one opportunity when we failed to convert after the big play to Sharp.

Against Ole Miss we again only had one real "opportunity" that we missed offensively - the underthrow to Hilton (which still should have been caught).

Against South Carolina, we absolutely dominated the game. We missed about 4 scoring opportunities and South Carolina took advantage of their one. It wasn't like they missed out on a bunch of big plays. If we do the same thing against Alabama or A&M? Yes, we likely lose.

The USC game showed me that we have the pieces and the scheme to compete for a national title. Both the pieces (the players) and the scheme still need a bit more refining in order for us to reach our potential - but they're there.

There are positive to takeaway from the game that if we can get a few things fixed then the offense can take off. If they can be cleaner and build off the things they did last week against South Carolina then we could be a very dangerous offense moving forward.

With that being said this team needs to sustain more drives offensively to allow the defense to get more rest and not be on the field for 70+ plays every game.

You can add not scoring a TD from the one yard line at the end of the game.

No 3 inch line fumble and Hilton catches a ball in his basket, minimum get fg, we win 30-10. Nuss can throw 2 bad ints in the game and we still blow them out if 2 guys execute with their main purpose of their position. Nuss played well but had 2 shite moments.

Dude, you have been melting all over the board since Saturday. Why do we have to discount the positive ifs but harp on the negative ifs?

Instead it was a perfect throw that Durham caught.

Instead he didn't lose the fumble.

You're imagining hypothetical scenarios to match what you want to see, all to get yourself worked up. It's sad.

THANK YOU!! the coaching staff hasn’t been perfect but I’m getting sick of fans scapegoating every one of our issues on the coaches. These NIL players get paid millions of dollars now. Fumbling for ball at the goal line, throwing a goal line pick and dropping a deep ball that would’ve set us up deep in enemy territory is inexcusable. The player gotta execute better that simple

All true. We were probably 3 plays away from beating Ole Miss.

I hear what you're saying, but at the game wand watching Nuss, he becomes a liability and needs to get it together. He's a 5th senior making very bad decisions. His injury dramatics and following it up with the jump energizer bunny is frustrating.

But all of those things actually happened in real life. We don’t live in “what if” land.

And things like that have happened all season
