After yesterday’s game it’s very clear (defense related)

It’s very clear after yesterday’s dominant defense performance over a team that was averaging 400 yards a game, that aranda was using the prior games as practice for things he/we knew we weren’t that good at. When we have needed to scheme big stops we have done it. I have to believe that he knew we needed to get game reps at zone coverage and wanted to force the line to get better at pass rush head up.

That has been my suspicion all year. He has seen what happens when you lose a key player here and there to injury. He appears to have been prepping for near future and getting guys into different looks. Also has played a lot of young guys this back half of the season. Those guys now have 5-6 games under their belt

Yeah, he was using actual games to practice shitty tackling.

Confidence in Mo Hampton playing center field and freeing up Delpit to get after the QB made a big difference.

bullshite. You don’t ever allow Bama to hang 40 on your because you want to “try new things”

so you think a highly respected dc is okay with plumlee gashing us like we're 3rd graders? how do you people find the nerve to post such stupid thoughts?

I've seen this in prior games with Aranda: infamously in 2017 vs Troy; then the next two weeks v Florida and Auburn the defense played lights out.

Also this year after Vandy; next week vs Utah State, a solid defensive effort. Same back in 2016: game up 39 points and 500+ yards to the Aggies and came through with a stellar game v Louisville in the Citrus.

It seems like a mix of figuring out best players for certain schemes, getting guys game reps, working on shite with certain guys, trying new things out, and just flat out getting out coached at times. I don't think he was fricking around at Bama or with UF or Auburn. I think the defense just genuinely hadn't had it truly click yet and he made some bad fricking play calls to boot. A&M was a complete game for Aranda and the defense. He wasn't fricking around and trying new things or working on shite. He dialed up pressure all night on Mond and let our freak athletes make plays. The defense and he appear to be confident with their skills and talent now and ready to make the last push to immortality.

I just think Aranda was playing too cautiously at times and not trusting his athletes, with one notable exception when he should have been more cautious. . Vincent improving, Hampto and Brooks emerging also freed him up to be more aggressive.

Ole Miss had nothing to do with us experimenting. Players lost focus and got sloppy in that second half.
The defense has weaknesses on d line but we have done ok.

Aranda should get the LBs and DBs on the jugs machine this spring, summer. Besides the tackling miscues, our defense has dropped way too many possible ints this season.

I am glad the D finally put together a good game, but there is next to 0 chance the professor was intending for them to play as poorly as they have much of the year. They play like this going forward and the other teams do not have a fart's chance in a whirlwind.
