Logic? Bruh, have you seen our O line lately?

Nah, biggest issue is coaching/scheme attack plan vs the 3-8. Then it's Oline, though that's not really fair given we are asking guys to block 1 on 1, on an island, against SEC dlinemen who know we are going to pass and who don't have to respect a run game or a running QB. Then it's below average talent at WR. Then it's youth and size at RB. And last but not least, it's the QB.
Yes, they are atrocious. What good is not starting Will if we are just going to put him in there midway through the second quarter down 28 to nothing against the same defense? Unless your answer is to just not play Will at all this year because our OL sucks against everyone. Alabama isn't any more special than anyone else we are playing defensively. They score 100 points a game, but they won't kill Will any worse than the last 2 defenses he played against.
The way our OLine has been playing, we'd be better off lining up a RB at QB and just plunging forward every play. Otherwise we may have no scholarship QB's healthy after Saturday
Mike Leach had a 7-2 record against that same "SEC program" running the same scheme against the same caliber athletes he faced 2 weeks ago. He did it against USC and Oregon as well as Texas and Oklahoma and Ole Miss. This isn't a scheme problem and he's attacking the defense the same way he did at other programs. If you want to argue he doesn't have the athletes to run his scheme yet and he's stupid for doing that before he gets his athletes, ok. That's just a difference of opinion. If you think this isn't going to work all together, you are going to look like a fool in a year or 2. Our quarterback play (with KJ) is about as bad as it can possibly get. Osirus was a complete baby on that catch at Kentucky, but KJ has been by far the bigger of the problem out of those 2 groups.
Who on earth can watch the last 3 games Costello played and say "sign me up for more of that shit please!"
It does absolutely no good for our program to keep sending him back out there. Moorhead learned this the hard way.
The LSU game proved that the air raid is prolific, even with a locker room full of malcontents, when the defense plays horrible man coverage. Arkansas, UK, and A&M proved that the air raid can't get off the ground against average zone defenses. Getting you arse handed to you every week will exponentially decrease trust in the locker room and increase malcontents. These players know enough about the game to understand the proper attack for 3-8 defenses.
If he starts Costello after these practices he is doing it bc he thinks we have no chance. Rogers is better it is not close
It doesn?t do us much good to play Costello in my opinion. To add, by start I don?t mean whoever runs out there first, I mean who gets the most snaps. And if we want to win the one who should get them is 2
We have already played defenses as good as Alabama and will play more defenses as good as Alabama going forward. Will has already faced 2 defenses on par with Alabama. This logic makes zero sense. Alabama scoring 200 points on us because they have the best offense on the planet doesn’t make their defense any better.
