That's worse than JoMo! And we RIGHTFULLY fired him in 2 years!
We were 104th in total offense in 2020
You and covid! LOL! we took 46 players to UGA. For most of that season we had less than 50. But keep preaching man! Keep preaching.Quote:

I know this is a crazy thought, but maybe the drastic offensive change in 2020 led to some growing pains... perhaps the same is true this season.
In leach's 3rd game, we put up 295 yards vs Kentucky and scored 2.
Here's the deal. The early returns have not been good, but like it or not we're gonna have this oc and offense for at least 9 more games so why don't we just let it play. If it sucks by seasons end there'll be plenty of time to bmc, otherwise we're just rehashing the same arguments over and over until then.
In 2020, here's games 3 thru 6 total yardage...
Kentucky 295 (45th total D)
aTm 217 (9th total D)
Bama 200 (32nd total D)
Vandy 204 (121st total d)
Once AGAIN ... no spring installs, COVID, and a true freshman backfield.Quote:

We scored great in game 1. Game 2 we saw the drop 8 zone. That defense was still giving us trouble last season someQuote:

The passing offense ranked 20th in the nation. Our RBs averaged 4.5 in SEC only play. LOL!Quote:

And I'm not saying fire Barbay yet. If ZA slacked up on S&C and practices as some have said, then I would blame him more.
To be 99th does suck tho given our 1st 2 opponents, even with LSU results.
ETA: And defensively there aren't any good excuses.
We don't seem to be putting our players in the positions to make the plays thus far.*****Quote:

This too! Barbay said precisely that. Leach let us know no one was staying and he was starting over, with a bunch of freshmen. And a 10 game all-SEC schedule.Quote:

As another person pointed out. We were told our best 11 would be on that field. Why are we playing a true freshman OL at TE? We all know he isn't going out for a pass. Is Goede better than Creed? Thomas? Mosely?Quote:
