1. TD at end of first half. Looked like OM was playing against air
2. First offensive drive. Can't go 3 and out there...let them keep momentum
3. 3rd and two to take lead. Cannot lose yard there. We had two plays to get two yards to take the lead and failed

How about the wide open TE sitting on the goal line on our last drive…and the throw is so bad he could barely get a fingertip on it.

That throw to 44 was about as bad as it gets. He’s made a bunch of those errant throws this year

The drive to end the half stands out to me more than anything. That was brutal.


Abandoning the blitz after we tied the game was painful too.


Green going out killed us in the redzone.

Yeah that was atrocious. I'm taking more about things that were in our control vs a bad throw

Can't help but think that if we had green we make that play even though throw was bad

A wide open receiver 10 yards away is the most “in our control” thing on the list.

Seems like a lot of people are missing the 3rd down play in the 3rd drive of the series. Don’t recall which WR it was, but he broke open in the middle of the field for an easy first and Leavitt had happy feet, did not get set, then threw it wide.

But what gets overlooked is the safety was running away from the play, and when he tried to stop and come back he slipped. Whoever that WR was would have had a clear path to the end zone and would have made it 7-10 at that point.

On the replay if that play would’ve been designed for the RB to throw it to Clark when he motioned out it would’ve been an easy TD rather then a direct snap to run.

How bout the very last drive?

Pretty sure we got the ball with 6 min left. We ran the ball a lot and essentially ran out the clock that we may have needed.

I thought we should have tried going downfield more and tried scoring quickly. Complete one or two passes and there may have even been time to kick a FG, hopefully get a stop, then have the ball again to try for the win.

Y’all are going to have to accept that what we have right now in Leavitt is 2021 JD. And everyone wanted him benched. It’s a long season and Leavitt hasn’t played a lot of ball the past year. He has a lot of upside just like JD. Have to give it time. If our defense plays like it should they may still win that game. Let’s see how Leavitt does next weekend. If he struggles Kiffen might be more comfortable bringing Clark in at a home game.

You shouldn’t be surprised. A TD before half with no time left is a Blake Baker feature, not a bug. Happens in every big game. I knew when they got the ball all they needed was 30 seconds (like Bama last year).
