    This is what happens as Leach is at a school for a while. The prevent works until the program masters the offense and then all hell breaks loose because they can’t just sit back in that defense. They’re forced to blitz and then get burned.

    While his offense goes against everything I think about offensive scheme and play calling, I like the way his team plays hard.

    We are sloppy and undisciplined right now and maybe that is a function of youth.

    All this yap about he won’t change and this offense is shit is in my opinion premature and just the talk of upset fans.

    With that being said, this is a QB driven Offense and we better coach up the current dude or find a new one quick.
    Good points.

    Also, all the people complaining about Will not hitting open receivers. Well, that also tells me this offense is working if you got open receivers everywhere. The trick is getting the ball to them. We got to figure that out, and when we do I think we're in for some good times.

    How is it that so many arm chair quarterbacks want their observations respected, but completely disregard/doubt football scheme with an actual coach? 34, I haven?t always agreed with your posts, but I think you?ve been spot on for a while concerning Leach.

    If we have 180yds of offense but still won this board would continue to be in an uproar.

    To be fair he also wanted Mullen gone and nicknamed Dak check down Charlie. I generally like his input but to act like hes bear Bryant is a bit of a stretch.

    Please remind me, how many Big 12/ PAC 10 Championships did he win during the seasons on mastery? I?d honestly like to know, because it seems more like that the mastery only happens once every 5-6 yrs or it?s not quite as magical as the picture you?re painting. I?m not the looking to fuss, but don?t piss on my head and tell me it?s raining.

    Take away the defense sleeping on 2 of their plays and the dumb special teams penalty and we win.

    Take away the awful punt return against Memphis and we're 4-0.

    The only thing keeping this team from progressing is them.
    Take away all the times I failed a test in college and I would have had a 4.0. 17 playing the what if game. That's what losers do and right now that's what we are. We've played 4 games. Lost 2 of them and almost lost 3...all to what should have been inferior opponents. There is no sugar coating that. No glossing it over. No moral victories. No golly gee we'll get em next time. If the only thing keeping us from progressing is ourselves then maybe the guys we're paying millions of dollars to need to figure some things the 17 out.

    No, I get that. I dislike much of his opinion, but his talk about actual game strategy is typically pretty spot on. I guess I better pull it back a bit. He will get the big head. I guess it?s easy to agree with him on this for me.
    On a separate note, this forum would be much easier if there was a like button Vs having to make a post to agree.

Yeah, I wish we were better than 3-8 in SEC games, but stats can tell us if we're going in the right direction way better than feelings, eye test, etc.

    And stats tell us that we ran more, like people have been wanting. And stats tell us that we didn't have as many 1-yard dumpoffs to the RBs, like people have been wanting.
    It is simple. There is a very simple eye test that works with every single team in the nation. I am going to quickly go through which teams are playing good football and which are not.

    UF- Good team
    GA- Good Team
    UK - Good Team
    Mizzu- getting better
    Tenn - Looking Better Today
    Bama Good
    Auburn not good
    LSU not good
    aTm not good
    Ark Good
    MSU not good
    UM good.

    Simple. No stats needed.

    Agreed. At no time did it seem like we could win after the first fumble. And at no time did it look like we were going to stop them.
