Managing the gauntlet and injuries

Many want to win pretty every week. That would be nice, no doubt.
But does Coach O have that option?
Not really.
The OLine means a LOT in whether that is practicable, and thus far, the injuries and scramble and experimental iterations have been managed "ok" in the SLU and LaTech game,and "great" in the Miami and Auburn games.
Looking at the gauntlet ahead, the road games at Florida and home to UGA are everything, assuming we can manage with a "good enough" Oline against a horrible LandShark defense on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.
Let's all pray and hope we get all, or most, of our Oline back for Florida, and get to 5-0 this weekend.
That would bring us strong starters, flexibility and depth on the OLine for the UF-UGA-MissSt stretch.
I like the way this is setting up.

Hopefully no one else gets injured.

I hope we go up 21 in the first then go on cruise control with the 2nd and 3rd stringers

Even with a makeshift Oline, you telling me it was out of O's control to annihilate SLU and "win pretty"?
Nice try.

Why do people not understand that coaches don't throw & catch, block or tackle. And in spite of well intentioned preparation, players don't always play to their potential. Certainly not 12 or more times per year. Just ask Lincoln Riley or Paul Chryst or Brian Kelly.

That can be said about Miles and he was fired. Why is it acceptable now? The losses will come and people will remember who he is REGARDLESS of injuries.

So you negatigers. First told us we could not beat Miami or Auburn. Now you are worried about style points. Give us a break.
Orgeron has got this team to #5 in the country by winning on the field.
The defense is elite. The offense is growing each week. We have a QB who actually won a game with his arm in the 4th quarter on the road in the SEC. when is the last time we did that. Anyway keep taking shots. Have a nice day
