We gonna get our shit pushed in.
I think our D gets exposed this week. This will be the first of many good passing teams on our schedule and our secondary is our weakest link. Hopefully our O can score a bunch.
ETA: And please bookmark this and rub it in my nose if I'm wrong... I pray that I am.
I'd be licking my chops if I am an DC or play D. Playing against the air raid would be like Christmas morning. Experiment with 2-9, 1-10, 0-11 then blitz 7 one play for a sack of 20 yards or int. We are confused with straight 3-8 all game.
This is what Ds are doing to us - toying with us and they are not being complicated with it.
I hope I am wrong but what I've seen, this is too easy to defend.
Flip side, I think our D can keep us in it until they tire out.
I'll pick us to win in a close game: 24-20
17 you miserable 17s that can only complain.
Depends on how many plays out RB decides he’s hurt or how many times our QB throws it to the other team...
I don't think anyone is openly rooting for him to fail. I think people are frustrated with the product that has been put on the field the last two weeks and they know Leach's stubbornness to adapt, which he wont do. It's also probably a little bit of worry for how long before we see tangible improvement from the offense. One bad season in the SEC can sink you for a full 4 year recruiting cycle, unless you're a blue blood.
That a boy, Cooter!
I don't disagree with that except for the part about doing it this week.
Consistency will be the key after they get a little more acquainted with the mechanics of everything.
The only hole I can poke in the discussion you are looking for is that he wasn't playing elite defenses every week. Almost all defenses in the SEC would be considered pretty dominant in another conference.
Washington would fit right in on the defensive side of the ball.
Oregon not so much.
Go look at all the boards. There are a ton of people pulling for Leach to fail. People mad he's disciplining players. People thinking he should be fired for two games.
And no, one season doesn't kill you. This is a total program rework. Those players see a chance to play day one. Especially when they see the number of FR we've played this year.
I don't disagree that there are some whacks out there who are saying we need to fire Leach, but those people are a small minority and they're just that, WHACKS. Now onto players wanting to play day one, if playing time was the only factor then Arkansas, Missouri, Ole Miss, and USCe should've been piling in Top 25 classes the last few years. I don't disagree that players want to play from Day 1, but they also want to go to a program where there's a winning culture and a place to set them up for a future at the next level. Which is why the top players continue to go to UGA, Bama, LSU, and UF. They know they may not play right away, but they know when they do they'll be prepared and ready to dominate.
Yes.
I want Leach to succeed but it ain't gonna be this year. This is year zero. I think we look better next year.
I think we get the brakes beat off us. If the line stays at 7 points or less sell everything you own and bet against us and make a flipping killing!
I thought the Arkansas game was going to be an awakening for us and we'd see improvement for KY. Obviously, that didn't happen so, I am just taking a wait and see attitude. Which is what I would have done for the whole year except for the LSUx game.
I've noticed it too. I think there are a lot of people that didn't like the hire but sort of kept quiet about it because so many others were excited for it. Now that there have been some bumps in the road they feel emboldened and are on a little "I knew it!" trip.
