Can CLK get the offense to start fast versus Texas A&M?

We have not gotten a first down on any of our first offensive possessions in all 3 games.

Clemson - Interception on the second play
LA Tech - Pass for 6 yards, Run for 2, Run for -3, Punt
Ole Miss - Incomplete pass, False Start, QB Run for 1, Pass for 1, punt

Really looking for the offense to put together a long drive right out of the gate. Set the tone early, get the run game going, get Leavitt some easy completions. Put 7 on the board early and get your swagger back

Man how different would the Ole Miss game have been if we started out running instead of passing

Even more head scratching than the defensive gameplan in the first half was the offensive gameplan in the first half of not trying to establish the run whatsoever...

I understand that sentiment but they were probably looking at the Louisville game and thinking that they could dice up the Ole Miss secondary easily.

So far Kiffin’s offensive prowess is overrated by a long shot. Yeah, we have racked up yards in some games, but in 2 out of 3 games we have had shitty 1st half’s, and looked like we were unprepared for the moment.

I am still not impressed with Kiffin, although he’s better than Kelly for sure.

No there was definitely nothing more head scratching than throwing away the scheme of the #1 defense and letting the other team score every drive.

I mean our QB wasn’t healthy till fall camp. It happens, if Sam hands the ball to Jones early in the game for the RPOs we would all be praising the gameplan

Yeah I got an idea, stop throwing it on the first 3 downs of the game every time.

Run the damn ball! feed Jones or call a designed QB run.

An Aggie fan and I were discussing the game this weekend and he said they don't have a good run defense. I think we definitely get the run game going and get SL10 comfortable. I don't think a lot of passes will be called early on.

You're in luck. You'replaying the A&M defense. Your wish will probably come true

Our OL can run block, but our pass blocking outside of Seaton and maybe Moore has been less than good.
If we have to run the ball 75% of the time Saturday night, then do it as long as we stay ahead of the chains and score TDs.
