I tend to agree. One thing we need to stop doing immediately is gift wrapping a turnover for points on the first possession of the game. I'm still not sold on Will being the guy. His decision making is not good.Quote:

By Walley, Thomas and Calvin, missed fg, DA penalty on the punt team, Preston and Green not covering the deep middle. Leach called right plays today and we even ran the ball more with success and even ran tempo in first half. Players at some point have to make the plays and the coaching staff put them In those positions today and players didn't make plays. Leach may not be the answer but players eventually have to step up and today they didn't.
That's my biggest long term frustration right now.Quote:

Good thoughts.Quote:

At some point, it would seem that we'll master playing vs defense that'll lead to wins vs everyone
Ding ding ding.Quote:

We did the main complaints - ran a lot more than in previous game and threw it down the field more, and also had our 2nd most yardage and 3rd most points of the Leach Era, and people are still saying how they don't like the offense.Quote:

It's just to early to declare Leach a failure. I'm gonna let the season play out and see how we wind up and improve or not. I think we improve because we're already better than last year but we'll see.Quote:

This game was never in doubt.
Agree to disagree. I respect your opinion, but you were complaining about splits not long ago.Quote:

Second, if Leech could have his team be competitive and show more improvement further into the year with some more wins I would be content. Especially if he wins against OM.
It is pretty strange. The offense does function but it needs an oil change in the worst way. It's weirdly better than whatever Moorhead was trying to do his last year here (see UT game).
Why we all know the answer to this question. We will all wake up to a 2 page ultimate break down like dude is John Madden crossed with Nick Saban or some shit. He will give us his “I know more than you because I’m a coach of some sort” bullshit… Just wait for it…Quote:

We weren't scoring but we moved the ball on them at will, even while only scoring 3. The stats/point scored isn't adding up for us right nowQuote:

I think this is a poor football take & not true.Quote:

Does it really matter what order the points come in?Quote:

The "Wishbone 2020" quip was debunked today, so instead Coach34 has moved the goalposts to complain that our points didn't come early enough (but if they had come earlier he'd find something different).
Yes it does. Teams defend you differently depending on the score of the gameQuote:

Interception
Punt
End of half
Missed FG
Punt
LSU switched to a 4 man front as well, I don?t understand why, but it gave us life.
Im happy that we scored some late points, and the kids didnt quit, but our offense the first three quarters is the reason we lost this game.
oh no- We are still Wishbone 2020. Offense is garbage.Quote:
