Maybe it's the smash mouth approach, maybe it's the BigCat drill but there was an amount of toughness that Miles' team showed and Orgeron coached team lacks.

I've actually been thinking about that and maybe that does play into what this team is about. Also Miles has been criticized for the length of his practices and one of the first things O changed when he became interim HC was that and it has continued now that he is HC. I'm not saying Miles' practices were not unduly long but the team never looked as gassed as they were at the end of the Moo State game. So: (1) bring back the Big Cat drill; and (2) get these players in better shape (I guess running off all those penalties will help)

So many people were so excited when O shortened the practices. We did see some improvement in game day energy.

Maybe the shorter practices are a great idea, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON.

I am of the opinion that the longer practices pre-season and for the first half of the season is a good thing. It helps us drive home the plays / schemes. But then shortening the practices as the season progresses helps to not wear out our players. By the halfway point our players damn sure better know the plays and run them effectively, all we should be working on is how to adapt our schemes to the next opponent.

Wasn't that one of O's biggest talking points as the interm? I feel like he constantly talked about how we didn't have enough time to overhaul the offense, we only had time to adjust our current plays.
