Ensminger was a bad choice for the OC position but O now has the offense he "envisioned".

Why is that funny to you?

I never denied I said any of my posts. How could I? You bookmarked them. You just never made an attempt on being completely truthful with what I've said in the past.

Let's wait and see, like I've always said.

I'd remove that stupid Orgeron avatar while you can if I were you. Worst decision ever is hitching your wagon to him just to spite people.

little or no importance

1) We hadn't passed for a TD all day
2) Our last set of downs took us all the way to 4th down before we got the first
3) Burrow had been sacked twice already on the drive. And we were out of timeouts
4) We failed to pick up a previous conversion attempt
5) We still would only have been tied, if we played perfectly, in a hostile environment
5) And Fla had scored 4 of the last 5 TDs, if we hoped to win in OT


Those drops would not have changed the reality of the loss following the pick 6. Inconsequential

And the very next drive after he runs wild, with the game on the line, we trot CEH out there. Can anyone explain this?



I like Nic but he didn't do anything exceptional on that drive. The blocking was there and he ran through the holes. In fact, if he had better speed he would have housed the long run.
You rotate RBs to keep them fresh, especially when its 90 degrees. RB rotation is not one of our problems. I really feel sorry for Chris Curry. Almost everytime we hand him the ball he immediately gets trucked because someone made an "ole" block. He may be our best of that position.

The Oline was getting beat so bad that about half of the playbook was off the table. On the last drive we have two drops which could have made a difference. The yard punts did not help.

Only problem with play calls is when we got a first down at midfield late we went two slow developing runs for CEH instead of throwing the ball. Way too many first down runs

Not sure why anyone is surprised, same thing happened when he stepped in a few years ago. Dude is in way over his head and will choke every time he faces a good defense.

There are two things I wish we'd do more of:
1. More HUNH
2. Pass out of "heavy" formations (2 WR/H-Back/TE or 3 WR/TE).

And then I wish we'd combine those two, except don't run HUNH on 1st downs, do it on 2nd downs:
A) run or pass, don't care which, on 1st down
B) call 2 plays on first down huddle
C) whichever you do out of that formation on first down, do the other on 2nd down.

Preferably short/quick pass out of that on 1st, hurry to line, motion TE or H-Back to flip side if necessary, then run for first. If didn't get the 1st on 2nd down, huddle... hopefully it's 3rd and short. If did get the 1st on 2nd down, huddle, call two plays, rinse and repeat.

He's a terrible OC. I've seen it coming. We've all seen it coming. Except for Orgeron apparently, so now we suffer bc of it.

This “analysis,” could literally be applied to any back that gets to the 2nd level and doesn’t score. CEH was demonstrably less explosive and effective vs UF. Yet carries were distributed almost equally. It’s a mistake not to put your best players in position to make explosive plays.

It just is.

This!!! His adjustments were pitiful! Quick passes should have come into play at some point in 2nd half!

Good points. Aranda is not impressive. Too many yards given up for a young offense

Fg- pathetic. No challenge. Stupid waste of time with the attempted drawing off. No balls.

Full disclosure, my two boys played ball with NB. That said, based on watching every game of his HS career, when he gets into a zone late in the game, you feed him the ball. I watched him put the team on his back time and time again. He was clearly feeling it on that drive, so what do we do? We give him the Charles Scott 2007 UK treatment. Why?
