God damn! That one play was 50% of their total game rushing and we held an SEC team to 270 total offense and 10 pts on the road.

Get your expectations real.


It's been a season long issue. Does it make a difference today, no. Did it make a difference at Ole Miss and at Kentucky... 100% yes!

We have to adjust what we are doing.


If we aren't going to self evaluate and kick out what has been a bad scheme for us then we will continue to lose the close games due to key conversions by the other team when we should have been getting off the field.

The problem about the “we are ranked blah blah in the country!” We absolutely destroy lesser teams. Absolutely beat them down, so the stats are skewed. If you look at us vs top 50 offenses it will be shocking to you.

The defense had back to back stops, one with their back against the wall after a turnover inside the 30, vs UK. What did the offense do with that opportunity? Absolutely nothing.

That works both ways. When the defense gets you back to back stops up on the road, you have to cash that in to ensure a win.

We did that today vs Auburn and pulled away for a blowout win.

You see this hot garbage?




We ran this exact same defense today on 4th and 16 with our starters against the Auburn backup qb and let him run for a first down.

Stop running this, it doesn't work for us. We either don't teach it properly or don't have the personnell.

It’s called critique, not criticism.

Did you just watch us drop everyone to the back of the end zone and let the qb run 15 yards for a first down? Have you seen us give up big plays with that exact defensive look vs Ole Miss and Kentucky? Because I have.

Maybe that happened, but a zone should control that QB run much better than a man coverage.

Dropping 7-8 guys 25 yards downfield didn't work. I don't understand where our players were? The front of the end zone was 5 yards from the first down stick. Were our players guarding the brick wall behind the end zone at Jourdan-Hare?

I assumed it was man to man.
