1. You always hear about the Alabama Hangover- well we had it this week. We had starters missing, and others sitting at first for unknown reasons, and an offensive coaching gameplan that was crap. 11am game- in which we havent played well yet this year. On the road in terrible-ass Arkansas. Lucky to get a win.
2. Dan Walsh gonna Dan Walsh. Terrible playcalling all day. Against one of the SEC worst rush defenses- we come out and throw 3 straight passes. With the game on the line and down in the 4th Q? We waste a possession by throwing 3 straight passes to Jamal Couch- a guy with 6 catches this season. We finally saw the error of our ways on our final 2 drives. We ran it down their throats and then hit Todd on playaction. 5 runs and 1 pass. Then on the final possession- 7 runs and 2 passes. Our 2 4thQ TD drives- 12 runs and 3 passes. We got 1/3 of our total passing yards for the entire day on those 3 passes because we #RTGDF. Got to stop being cute and do what it takes to win games like this. In the 4th Q we did. Finally. 100 yards of our 348 came on those 2 possessions.
3. Aeris not starting was stupid. Cost us a TD and almost the game. He obviously wasnt hurt- because after Gibson gave them a TD- he played the rest of the game. It couldn't have been discipline really- because he only sat for 2 series and was inserted into the line-up before the game got out of hand. You dont discipline somebody for half a quarter. Not sure what was going on there but it doesnt need to happen anymore. Yes Gibson has played pretty well and Reese didnt seal the guy off- but go with your guy to start the game. Only thing that makes any sense is if he missed curfew on Friday night.
4. Nick was Nick in the passing game as usual- 12/23- 150 yards. Threw a few really good passes and some wtf passes. The dart to Deddrick to seal the win was perfect. The pass dropped by Big Boy on the fade was a well-thrown ball. But he was lucky he didnt throw a pick-6 and a few others just leave you shaking your head. Gonna have to make some throws to win Thursday.
5. OL played like they were sleepy. 4 yards per carry vs UPig. A team that gives up an average of 5.15 per game against everybody else. Reese wasnt getting the backside sealed when we zoned left- guy gave him all kinds of trouble. They really clogged the inside in the run game. 2 sacks and 6 TFL's made this just an ugly day.
6. DL played really well- as they should have vs an injured OL group. Pressured Allen all day with Sweat getting 3 sacks and Simmons another. 9 TFL's. Limited UPig to less than 100 yards total in the run game. Great job here.
7. Good day from the LB's. UPig almost broke a few runs but these guys were there to make sure they didnt. Good 4th Q play from Gay when the game was on the line. Spencer was all over the place.
8. Love me some Jonathan Abram. A couple of big hits and then a forced fumble that turned the game. Impact player. He knocked one of their guys out of the game with a crushing sideline hit. For a guy nursing a shoulder- you never knew it. Mac was banged up also but gutted it out. Held UPig to 221 yards total- really good day on D. Got to recover fumbles in the Secondary though- that was a big play.
9. Kylin Hill is going to be a pro. Balls out on special teams and runs hard. 3/15- needs to run it more and give Aeris a break here and there. Caught 2 passes- including that screen pass that he almost turned into a 1st down on 3rd and 20. Should see more of this guy in the bowl game with the extra practices. He should solidify being #2 by then and his knowledge of the playbook should be where it needs to be to play 15-17 plays of offense in some warm Florida location.
10. It's Egg Bowl week. It's Coach Luke's last game so you know they will play hard for him. They have a dangerous offense. But it's Fredo coming to see us at the lakehouse- and we can't let Fredo win. Fredo wants to show us he's smart. It's time to settle all Family business.
