Tonight is why we are wanted and considered to be the Vanderbilt of the west . I?m sick to my stomach

Mullen bailing on us in 2018 just sux. I get it. He wanted the bigger job. Tenn and Fla are bigger jobs. But damnnnnnnn. He had built an animal heading into 2018. We could have been so good
Does anyone here think that any of the remaining opponents on our schedule fear playing us. Most teams except maybe a very weak OOC team circles us as a win the rest of the year. Sad.
This has to be a joke. My man, will was horrendous today. Yes the WR dropped balls but Will was also throwing behind and making bad reads all game. dude has zero escapability and eats sacks on free 7 yard scrambles. The audacity to say WE have an agenda. It?s time to admit it, it?s ok
That great OOC powerhouse, AZ, we beat after our bedtime is ahead 17-14 with North Dakota State at halftime at AZ.
Bucky how can you disagree? This isn?t subjective, anyone can pull up the tape. I get you love Will but my god man, be a Mississippi State fan before an individual player. He had an awful game, it?s okay to say it and look to next week.
Let's be honest. We typically play like shit against LSU. Especially in Baton Rouge. It's a tough place to play. And why I didn't go ahead and make any predictions about us winning. It was worse in 1998. And that team won the SEC while LSU stayed home for bowl season.
Now don't get me wrong- that's not excusing anything tonight. Most of the reason why we lost is on us because we didn't play well. Yeah- Will was bad. He didn't even attempt to throw it deep. Held onto the ball too long. Was indecisive. All of that. And then for the cherry on top he threw a pick when we had a guy running free down the post not even really covered and would have been a TD and a chance to kick on onsides kick which we would have screwed up but would have made the score closer. I don't think I've seen a Leach team drop so many passes. And Harvey needs to play less and Walley needs to play more. Our fans can talk about "mobile/dual threat QB" all they want but Patrick Mahomes wouldn't have been able to get away from some of the offensive line ole's tonight. And how many 4th and 1's did we get stoned on because they just got beat?
Defense was OK. They're just not athletic. And he needs to stop putting Collin Duncan out there on the other teams better receiver. Put Forbes in at slot CB and then play Banks and Richarson at the other CB spots and sit Duncan unless it's a running situation. And we are still awful at tackling mobile QB's. We make all of them look like Mike Vick.
It's time for someone to tell Leach to fire Washington, move Mele back to running backs coach and hire a real special teams coach. No reason why we can't get one of the best in the country. I don't think we're much better than last year on special teams. We've missed three extra points all year. And then we muffed the punt and that killed any momentum for us the rest of the game. Austin doesn't make very many mistakes- but when he does it's at the worst possible time. And great job by whoever held on Tulu's KO return that would have given us some momentum.
Didn't know. Just very concerned after our loss tonight. I think we have also been exposed of lack of team speed at LB and pass D at safety no better than last year. After all the preseason hype about our DE's, what is our problem with lack of sacks, scheme? Are our WR's soft against tough DB's? OT play shaky with little help.
Maybe we'll learn how to use it?
Honestly the biggest I see with us using the portal so far is very Mississippi State. We're too nice to whoever the current group of players are. Happened in both baseball and football. "Well.....we already have So and so at LB so why do we need to get this guy who is better?"
I think we're going to have to start being a little more honest and create more competition with our teams than we would maybe like to in some circles. To me it looks like we probably should have paid a little more attention to OT, DE and LB.
