Despite all the hate, we actually have a pretty good team. We will never make everyone happy under Leach. But he is a tried and true winner. He can coach. Was the best coach that we could have possibly hired.
Yes he is better than Clark and Napier. I like both of them but they are not Leach. Anyone who has ever spent a good amount of time in the air raid, or just even watching the pure version of it you know that you will have some 3 and outs. It is just part of it. You will miss some throws. Will missed Walley on the first drive for a TD. Polk runs a slant instead of a glance and we miss it by inches. We are close.
The defense stepped on their throats and made them quit. The players and Arnett do an exceptional job of giving you a lot of different looks and tackled much better than we did a week ago. We also got a lot more pressure. Jett Johnson and Charlton were big time.
We are going to win 7-9 games. 7 is the floor right now. We have a pretty good team and a lot to be proud of.

Thank you good read. I was looking today and saw 7 maybe 8 with a lucky bounce or 2.

Something else, when you throw the ball 50 times a game you are going to have sacks and interceptions. Hopefully you can limit them like yesterday and get more take a ways like yesterday. We have played two really veteran teams and won. I'm happy.

Totally agree!

We have some things to cleanup for sure but we are 2-0. This team is gritty and has some stones and I love that mentality. We're not there yet but we play extremely hard on both sides of the ball, which is way more than we saw with JoMo. We are in great physical shape too. We were fresh in 4th quarter and nc state was gassed(obviously la tech was too in game 1). Nc state ol was holding the entire 4th quarter because we were fresh and bringing it and they were done.

While you're here Bucky, what's your take on Will not running when he has green - is that coached or just him needing to mature into that?

This offense works when the players work it properly. We were run dominant forever. It just takes a while to turn the pirate ship around but we have the pieces now. They?re just young and are still inexperienced.
Just wait until we have more experience on offense. Will, Tulu, Walley, etc are all still technically freshmen.
Just wait until we really stack recruiting classes to this offense. How many QBs and WRs want to be in an offense that throws the ball 50 times a game?

Also, go back and watch the replay on the TD pass to Walley where so many said he should have ran it in…..
There were three defensive players playing on the goal line and two hit him as he threw the TD pass.
Bottom line, Will made the correct call.

We certainly looked better. We can win 6 games as floor, any more is a bonus. Our D is very good. O still has a ways to go but did a few more improved things Sat - throw downfield some for one.
Why do some of you sink to calling anyone a hater who has a different opinion about something? Just because everyone on here don't think Leach is the messiah of coaches don't mean anyone hates anybody.
Good grief. Some of you need to chill; it is an opinion message board.

I agree with you that we need to see some more downfield throws. There are guys getting open but Will checks down to the back. I don't know if he's scared to push downfield b/c he might get a pick or what. He had Polk open for a huge gain in the 4th but checked down to Johnson for maybe a yard. Leach let him know it when he went back to the sideline. Gotta do better.

We looked better, but the offense is still not good. Doesn't mean I hate Leach, like R2Dawg said, it just means I don't share your opinion. I also don't know where y'all are getting this "6-7 wins is the floor now", stuff....outside of Memphis, Vandy, and Tennessee State, there are no gimmes. And considering how little our offense is putting up points (only 2 scores yesterday), some might not consider Memphis a gimme either.
I would love nothing more than for Leach to win big here....but so far through a season and 2 games, the only true weakness on our team is his unit. So until that unit shows some semblance of life, I can't see us winning under him, and I surely can't put automatic wins on the schedule after squeaking by La Tech after trailing by 20. I hope he turns the offense into a force sooner than later, but for anyone to wonder why some may have doubts, is willfully sticking your head in the sand.
I'll agree to disagree with your opinion, and hope that things turn out the way we both want them to...which is with the offense clicking and creating one hell of a team, bc our defense is already more than pulling their weight.

This.
I’m glad we won but we still can’t score much at all and still have a Qb that can’t see downfield and won’t throw it 2nd level unless it’s a pre snap call. I would take 6-6 right now and could easily see 5-7.

Leach is very frustrating because he could be great today like he was great 20 years ago but he doesn't care at all to adjust his offense. Briles and Riley took his passing concepts and married it to a power spread running game and their offenses became dynamic. We also know that going to traditional splits helps the running game but doesn't hurt the passing game. Leach has no interest in doing either and that level of hubris/stubborness is mindblowing.

This all day. His refusal to tweak or change a little is the problem. You can get away with it in other conferences- not the SEC

This is the post right here- well done.
While it's only 2 games- some numbers:
We are 79th in the country in Total Offense (Memphis leads the country)
We are 16th in the country is Passing Offense
We are 71st in the country in Scoring Offense
We are 128th in Rushing Offense (which will be about where we finish)
Our fans will continue to make excuses because thats what our fans do- but at some point the offense has to deliver results. I dont see anything going on with the offense that leads me to believe we will score many points against a defense with a pulse.
