Kelly’s: just lean on the defense approach has to be revisited… thank goodness

our defense is good. Was good yesterday as well. Got two turnovers but only mustered 3 points. The second quarter drive with 6 penalties was bad, but overall the defense wasn’t the issue.

Hopefully this lights a fire under him and the offense to start playing to score.

Not only was it a boring game to watch offensively, we lost.

Harlem Berry should be getting far more carries

Defense can be leaned on.. just not for 100 plays a game because the offense keeps on having 3 and outs.

The D got tired and I dont blame them. They had that 18 play drive where they held ole miss to 3 and the offense goes down and nuss throws that pick. We score there and mentally the D is going to overcome the physical part of it. That was soo deflating.

Did you happen to see just how bad Nuss played yesterday? Berry wouldn't have made one iota of a difference yesterday. Nuss played bad BK didn't replace him we lost. Conclusion; BK is responsible none other.

With two weeks before the next game, I'd give MVB all the practice reps and start him. Let's see what we've got with him. We already know what we have with Nuss and it isn't working.

MVB = Dual Threat, which helps the offense

MVB = Has SEC starting experience.

MVB = Played behind a terrible OL at MSU and somehow didn't look terrible himself.

MVB = Is potentially the future. Dude has eligibility. Nuss is gone.

MVB = If he's worse than Nuss, then go back to Nuss.

I’m not saying that Nuss wasn’t an issue. I’m saying berry is more ready

OK but replace Nuss was the issue with BK was the issue and we agree.

I know it was SLU but MVB looked really good against them. Elko beat us last year because he replaced his starter. Placing the blame on Sloan is lazy and absurd.

NO the turning point was not trying MVB at QB.

Guys, an ELITE defense doesn’t give up 28 first downs in one game. Or let the opposing offense stay on the field for 84 plays.

The turning point was when we hired a mediocre coach.

Reminds me of Maineri. Same attitude, mannerisms, etc.

Just collecting a check whilst spewing I'm above yall peasants.

I'm tired of the same excuses week after week. And when the media hits a nevre our $100 million man throws a tantrum like a 3 year old. Everyone saw that there was an issue with the offense. But Kelly when asked got upset saying we should enjoy the win. Terrible response. Someone should say do we now enjoy the loss because of the offense you said would be released when needed didn't happen like 99% of people watching already knew.

It also will help Nuss to sit and watch. It will give him an opportunity to reset.

I'm old enough to remember when Saban learned he had to put a top notch offense on the field because it is impossible to hold teams down completely these days.

This team isn't winning many games with a QB that plays scared.

How do we know he hired a mediocre coach? If your QB is as bad as Nuss showed yesterday sorry you can't judge the other coaches, especially the OC. Nuss was awful yesterday and looks to me he didn't execute the plays sent in. We better get MVB ready or we are doomed.
