The difference in ‘play calling’ since the Troy game is amazing

We should have never fired shots at Canada and his system. It’s obvious that someone else was meddling in the play calling.

If O can sit back, focus on recruiting, and not impede the coordinators on doing their jobs, we might win a lot of games.

This and throwing a 34d stringer under the bus are probably my two biggest issues with him. If O will let his highly valued coordinators do their thing, I'll gladly keep him around for a while. If he shows that he's not able to let them coach, then he can pack his bags.


I am still aboard the Fire Alleva train though.

Passing game is still an issue.

It needs work but Etling threw for over 200 yards last night.

Why does everyone have to go to one extreme or the other?

We're fans. The offense looked like shite for 4 games. The criticism was understandable across the board. Even the coach criticized the kicker situation and look how that's changed.

That being said, it's a lot more fun to watch now for multiple reasons. Win or lose, if we continue to see steady improvement like we have, in so many facets of the game, I'm a happy camper.

It's not all about yards. 123 of that came from 2 plays.

At what point do Canada and Aranda say, “Why is this guy getting paid double (or triple) my salary when I’m doing all of his homework??”


That is and always was the problem with this model. Better win big now and hope the new hire coordinators pan out when these guys inevitably leave.

Same shite, different season... We run for a ton of yards throughout the 1st half of the season, play a soft Ole Miss defense prior to Bama, and our fans revert back to being in denial about the passing game until we get hit in the mouth and can't run the ball on Bama.

3rd string. He’s talking about O’s comment about Brosette getting - and fumbling - the first carry a few weeks back.

Gonna say it now the jet sweeps and the gimmick Canada offense is the only way we have a Chance against bama. They will pin their ears and come after etling and put 8 in the box if we don't.

Agreed


Honestly interested to see how it works. Not sure we’ve seen anyone try to attack Bama that way before.

Go run routes in your backyard but count to 1 Mississippi when running them. That's how much time Etling is getting on many passing play before the pocket collapses. Long exposure to this(as an SEC QB) will lead to acute schizophrenia and post traumatic stress disorder. Canada is just looking out for Etling's life.

The Troy game saved our season. It was such an embarrassment that it provided all the motivation this team needed to get right. Get O off Canada’s back. Having players light into each other for disrespecting the uni they’re wearing. There is ZERO doubt in my mind if we squeak by Troy we lose at minimum one of these last 3 games. Now the Tigers are rolling and Bama/LSU will be one of the most hyped games of the season again.

Maybe. But shouldn't getting boatraced by Moo U have been a wakeup call?
