Yes, they were.

One of the biggest problems playing a team like om is they have the ability to play crappy for large amounts of time but with Dart and those wr?s can score so fast, and with the DOGS defensive lack of speed or offensive inability to score td's.......not very hopeful, Coach Knox please pull a miracle.
I still hate this offense with Will at QB. Why we constantly roll him out and play away from his strengths is beyond me.
The defense did what it has done for 3 seasons now. Get punts and great field position all game and then offense looks like crap.
It?s criminal how much Jett, Pick, Crumedy and Bookie are forced to play. Those guys deserve all the NIL money.
That's my biggest gripe with the offense too. Will isn't a QB you roll out. What's the point? Everyone knows he isn't going to keep it. Put Mike in and they know he's most likely going to keep it.
Barbay promised to use the best players and adapt the offense to the players he had. I'm not seeing any of that. Have the TEs really made a difference in our game this year?
Plays take too long to develop and with an offensive line that can't block that doesn't help. This late in the year we still have QBs and receivers not on the same page. Simplify the offense so we can play faster.
To mask our talent deficiencies we need an offense that is fast and gets the ball out quick. That may mean we aren't going to have big explosive plays.
Barbay is gone no matter who is our new HC. He is one of our many in over their heads rookie type coaching hires in this disaster. Like many of of players how many of our assistant coaches would be hired for the same position at any other SEC school. Even worse, was told we gave him and maybe a couple more 2 year contracts. More $ down the drain in this disaster of a year. But hey, we have that tie breaker to stay out of the SEC West cellar over AR. Have proved the coaches & media wrong to date in those pre-season polls.**. Get a real HC and staff ASAP! Hail State!
We won!!!! Woot!! I'll take it but I didn't expect it and it sure was ugly!!!!
Been eating Thanksgiving dinner with my family. At least we got to see a win on our thanksgiving day!! Lol
A lot of the throws we ask him to make our kind of difficult too. Out patterns to the sideline and we often ask him to roll to his non dominant side.
Our best play was a glance route or a slant to Zavion and lo and behold he took it and got us in position for our second TD.
We also run way too much on first down and more often than not we're behind the sticks. That's why our play calling is so predictable.
Goede played his best game in Maroon today. His blocks twice on the middle Lb sprung Pittman in both his big runs. I'm sure that is why he was lining up more at H back than true tight end, so that he could come around and lead the back. Unfortunately he got clogged up in the middle several times on similar plays because our guards couldn't block their own shadows.
Will can't run this O but TBH most of Wills passes were AR passes today - all short crossing patterns or screen to WR or RB in the flats. You can put labels on it but our air game was AR type plays all day. We didn't throw down the field at all. Difference was we run the ball in this O. We don't run the ball today we lose. Plain and simple.
D played pretty good, gave up a couple plays but total D was good.
Pick and Crumedy playing so much for two reasons - two top backups (freshmen) are hurt and Leach didn't recruit enough DL.
Question is Thursday night.....can the “DOGS” score......and can the defense stop those crossing patterns with om’s receivers and Dart taking off running?
