Clemson barely made it in. Man if we could hit a field goal and didn't do stupid stuff, we certainly would be in top 25 after this week. We better start cleaning things up. Would certainly be a different feel for this team and staff if so.
100 percent! This season reminds me an awful lot of 2013.
We were a young team in 2013. This team isn’t youngQuote:

But we are "young". I mean, some of our key players are sophomore's with their true freshman year happening during Covid and all of that insanity. Trying to completely remake a program was going to be a tough road. Doing it during Covid/2020 basically pushed everything back. I was at the game for the first time in two years yesterday down in the gridiron and I can tell you that on the sideline the players didn't look defeated. We looked inconsistent and, yes, we had receivers running open. I'm sure it's because I don't have LSU DL trying to sack me but when we were backed up on the 15 yard line in the north endzone (I was almost right behind Will at eye level) and you could see receivers breaking free and running open up the middle but we kept checking down. I think it's just going to have to come with experience for Will but if you hit those receivers (and they catch it....and don't fumble it) then it's a whole different ballgame. I just think he started during Covid with limited contact, practice, etc. And the entire team tried to learn an entirely new and foreign scheme during that as well.Quote:

You need to get over this. Young= inexperienced is basically everyone is talking about. We are young in places and inexperienced in more, especially in this system. So just stop.Quote:
