Oh for sure. Defense lost us the game yesterday though.

Offense played well enough to win. Defense couldn't get the stop. The turnovers at the end of the game isn't on the offense. That's desperation time.

Aranda had a bad game yesterday.

But it’s good. It’s not elite but it’s better than slightly above average.

Yeah, the D has created turnovers and 21 points is still the most they've given up all year which is really good considering we're halfway though the season. It's a good defense, but the pass rush and havoc we saw in game 1 is not what we see now. It could be the injuries, but I feel like our D line should get a better push and should clog the middle more than it has been doing.

No core surge. Manhandled.. in the same boat. Thought this was going to be addressed.

It's actually much worse than Miles' last full season, but don't let the facts stand in your way.





You can tell me this a thousand times and I wont give in to it. Miles had all time greats at running back that made things a lot easier. LAST WEEK not some, ALL of you were sucking Ensmingers dick. We have ONE game where Burrow fumbles and we dont go up 14-0. Then Burrow throws 2 picks. That's on Burrow, not the offense.

If yall think our offense is just the same as it was with Miles I seriously cannot help yall. We are opening it up way better and are moving it through the air a TON better.

It's just catastrophe syndrome from the people on this site that go from "our offense is awesome"! last week to "Miles offense was better :( "

In one week. C'mon now.

Defense lost the game.

Then so did theirs. The offensive numbers are basically the same. You are trying way to hard apparently you are bent about the 1 drive? That was after we gashed them. Their defense is pretty good and their staff gets paid too.

This is nonsense, there was over 2 minuets left after they scored to go up by 1

And State gave up 13 points at home and lost to Florida. When we needed stops we couldn't get them. Aranda never made adjustments when we were getting gashed. We go up by 5 with 8 minutes left and the Felipe Frank's led juggernaut of an offense moves down the field like we're swiss cheese.

Defense played great

EdO has been the coach for 3 years. These are his players. He doesn't get a pass any longer

If you choose not to believe what the stats say, that's your problem. A fundamental misunderstanding of basic statistics would explain why you thought the defense was the reason we lost yesterday.

Our amazing offense right now is actually abysmal, even by LSU standards.

Then it's on Joe Burrow. You seriously saying the interceptions are on Ensminger?

Not amazing by any means. But I'd take this offense 100 times out of 100 over any offense we had in the last couple years of Les Miles.

Do you not remember the Herschel Walker level running back Miles had for 3 years? That will help your numbers a tad man

Well that tells me a lot about your judgement, or lack thereof in this case. You would take the statistically worse offense because you think it looks better.

I guess we can compare the RB's Miles signed to the ones O has signed if you want to go there.

What in the WORLD does that have to do with the Engmingers performance at OC?

It’s obvious you are seeing only what you want to see and want to blame Aranda because of 1 bad drive. You view is incredibly myopic. We march down the field and it’s our offense playing well, they do it it’s because our DC had a bad game

The defense had a bad drive, but overall they played well enough to win

Baskerville had Scarlett in the hole at least 4 times on third and short and missed every time in the second half. The scheme worked the player just didn't make the play. You can tell that the d wasnt prepared for the option and that's on Aranda. One thing i did notice about Aranda is this mass substitution he does at the end of quarters in the first half where he rest the starters. Auburn scored a TD in that game and when he did against Florida they scored a TD as well.

This tells me you dont know football. You blindly look at numbers instead of schemes and the ability for our offense to move the ball through the air without throwing nothing but 2 receiver routes and bombs.
