re: I’m confused about a few things but one stands out that’s not being discussed

The ball he missed down 10-0 for what I think would have been a TD was huge. You kill a lot of that early momentum they had going but instead you punt and end up down 17 before you knew it and then that place was rocking.

I actually get why they were electing to throw the ball to start the game. The receivers were open. Sam was just moving to quick through his progressions and deciding to run. It happens, its his third game in the system. Lane, Charlie, and the staff will continue to develop and work with Sam on that.
But again I understand why they wanted to throw the ball to start the game. Especially when WRs were open. They noticed he wasn't being patient enough so they elected to go to a more simple offensive scheme on the 4th possession to simplify things and he got things going. I would expect him to continue to get better with each week that goes by.

I said the same thing. They were not trying to establish the run the first 3 possessions. And I thought that was part of Kiffens strategy to establish the run early. That and the DB cushion was the most confusing thing about the game for me.

I'm looking up the play-by-play on ESPN;
1st Half
1st drive, 0 runs by running back
2nd drive, 1 by running back
3rd drive, 1 run by running back
4th drive, 7 runs by running back (TD on run by RB)
5th drive, 1 run (8 yds) by RB, end of half
2nd Half
1st drive, 0 runs by running back
2nd drive, 3 runs by RB (TD drive)
3rd drive, 2 runs by RB (TD drive)
4th drive, 4 runs by RB (FG drive)
5th drive, 5 runs by RB (INT inside the 5)
I left out the QB runs, of which there were a bunch. Any time we ran the ball with a RB more than once in a series, we moved well- 3 TDs, FG inside the 5, and an INT inside the 5.
We didn't start feeding the RB until the 4th possession of the 1st half, at which point we drove and scored.

100%, it was a bad game plan in the first half.

quote:1st 14 plays, I believe we called 12 passes/2 runs. It looked more balanced because Leavitt tucked and ran like 4 times or something.
The baffling thing to me is we did nothing to establish the run in the first half

Don't be confused about this - we only played, at most, half a game. If we played the whole game we win 37 - 17.
We were and are better than Ole Miss at most positions. Their QB is better than ours and their RB is better than ours, but he got hurt.
I get the emotion and riding that wave early, but we got a 3 and out the first drive on them and we just took waaaay too long to get going in this game.
So yeah, I agree with you about if we play the whole game, but we didn't and not even close to the whole game - that bothers me a little.

We played a whole game and lost 3 out of four quarters when it counted.
