I think We're Close to Being Really Good

[Lord McBuckethead]

Two things. Yes we scored some points today, but we only scored 3 for a looonnnngggg time when we still controlled the game. However, at least, we aren't getting blown out in most games like we did under Croom. If we still had a coach like Croom this game would have been 34-3. Second, if Leech could have his team be competitive and show more improvement further into the year with some more wins I would be content. Especially if he wins against OM.

OM isn?t going to wait for us to have 4 minutes of offensive output. All the time we are 17n around they are going to score 35 pts.

The things that stand out to me on both this game and the LATech game are that yes, we ?came back?, but ultimately did so when those teams coaches went ultra conservative to just finish out the game. It bit LATech in the butt- and should have, we are more talented, but it causes me to think that most coaches if up big late will allow us to dink and dunk down field eating up almost as much or more clock than if we ran the ball. Sometimes the tale of the tape is more than the scoreboard.

I agree and Arnett and his D better bring the A game that night. However I hope Leech will at least put emphasis on this game

Im just confused on the optimism after scoring 3 points in the first 44 minutes of the game against a pretty average LSU defense that got zero pressure on Will almost all day.

Our first eight drives were :

Fumble
Punt
FG
Interception
Punt
End of half
Missed FG
Punt

LSU switched to a 4 man front as well, I don?t understand why, but it gave us life.

Im happy that we scored some late points, and the kids didnt quit, but our offense the first three quarters is the reason we lost this game.

You just can't see what shotgun does bc shotgun wants to see it. He did this same crap after ever Moorhead debacle

It taking fifteen pass play drives to score wil NEVER,NEVER ,EVER work in the SEC. Defenses dropping eight and shutting you down is not making them uncomfortable, lol.

I do want to point out that I was sold on this offensive bringing more explosive plays. Only explosion I have had is with diarrhea after watching our offense this year

It did work in the SEC today. The defense giving up big plays on blown coverage lost us the game, not the offense.

[Turfdawg67]

Agreed. An offense that has to rely on 14 play drives blows. All the other team is has to wait. We 17 it up for them.

14 play drives and controlling the clock is now a bad thing... weird.

They just don't like Leach and will say whatever happens is wrong. If we win next week, it still won't really mean anything.

[Turfdawg67]

Maybe we should come out against TAM and play like we are down 21-0...

I don't remember doing this with Moorhead. Maybe early, but this is way different. Remarkable if you can't see the difference and track record of coaches difference

[ShotgunDawg]

Yardage is like having a flashy car but a small dick. Doesn?t mean shit.

Not true when your building a program.

You really think us scoring 3 points in our first E-I-G-H-T drives today was not the reason we lost the game today? I mean, that seems kind of an impossible opinion to have today. Especially when you factor in the play of our OL, which was really good. Will had tons of time to pass, but the problem with the air raid is that you can get a ton of yards between the 20's, but once you get in red zone, you can struggle to score.

I mean eight drives for 3 points, and you don't think that lost us the game? I think your bias for Leach is showing.

Only looking at the first 8 drives is arbitrary. I look at full games. 486 yards is almost always enough to win an SEC game, and when it's not, it's not the offense's fault.

I can't believe some of you dumb mf'ers are even capable of getting up in the morning and getting your teeth brushed to drag your asses out the front door. Mike Leach makes $5,000,000 PER 17ING YEAR! Do some of you not comprehend that simple fact! Holy shit!

We should pay him $1M for every P5 win instead.

He might get excited about winning if we did.

It?s not cherry picking when your offense simply could not score against an average LSU defense until the 4th quarter when the game was in hand.

Look I?m glad you are happy that we scored 3TDs late in the game, I think it?s fools gold, you think we?ve turned a corner.

I truly hope you are right.

[Dak Holliday]

I agree with you? looks like pyrite

This may be a stupid question, but why does it put question marks in place of other punctuation marks on these posts? It has my ocd on point
