    Can we end the concern about Moorhead?

    We had some legitimately concerned about today. Obviously that section of the fan base has totally overblown what has gone on this year.

    I get it. It's Arkansas. But the offensive play calling has been well schemed. We have executed it very well today. We've seen improvement from a number of players from game 3 to today. Guys look more comfortable. Play calling looks more in rhythm. Team has played hard all year.

    I like this guy a lot and from all accounts the team loves him. It wasn't like that across the board under Mullen and that's important.

    Win next week with another good offensive showing, and I will feel 100% better

    The playcalling has been there. The team just couldn't execute.

    I agree 100%. I have been straddling the fence but this game is proof to me we are headed in the right direction. I don’t care what we do in the Egg Bowl, you can’t judge a coach with one game. We have won more than we lost and we beat the teams we expected to beat this year with the exception of KY and maybe UF who might end up in a NY6 Bowl.
    You hear those bells mother-fudder....an Air-RAID is coming and that is yo ass!

    We haven't won more than we lost. We're 3-4 now in the sec. 3-5 in the sec and 7-5 would not be good. Losing to Mullen and OM in his first season would be tough. Finish next week though, and we have excitement again going into bowl

    Our offense has struggled against very good and very fast defenses. We are still learning the new system and being a half second slow in your reads against fast defenses has cost us this year. That is the sucky thing about running a timing offense with personelle built for a power run scheme. I like Joe and am ready to see what the offense looks like with players recruited for his system.

    The play calling hasn?t been there all year.

    We let our RBs have the ball today. Our RBs has more carries with 6 minutes left in the half than they did for the whole games against Kentucky and Florida and LSU and Bama.Go look at RB carries in those games.

    If he lets the RBs get the ball ( like many have been saying for weeks on end), then the offense will work. In those games like Kentucky and Florida and LSU and BAmA he didn?t get it to our playmakers. That was poor to horrific playcalling.

    I don?t know if he?s learning because he did this same thing against Auburn then reverted to our RBs combing for 10 ish carries and we went back to losing.

    So I guess the answer is ?we?ll see?.

    I agree with you about the lack of rb involvement. I have no idea why that happened. I think joe is smart enough to learn from this mistake this year. I could be wrong though.

    Well....you’re just counting SEC games. I count them all. We HAVE won more than we can lose with this win.

    7-5 and letting om get their 6th or maybe even 7th win would not be a win this season. Sorry

    I get the vitriol that has been in the Egg Bowl recently. Mullen stoked that fire. Moorhead is gonna make this just another game. He's going to take the emotion out of it and make it another game. I think the emotion gave OM an edge against.

    Moorhead prepping this team to keep the same high standard is going to favor us. Doesn't matter whether we have executed at a high level every week. But that the expectation is there is going to give us an advantage.

    We beat the brakes off them on Thanksgiving.

    Fitz doesn't give them the ball. It's an option to keep, give, or pass. It's the Qb's option. Fitz goes with what's comfortable to him.

    100% huh? LOL

    He beats the hell out of very bad teams, which is good and better than Mullen in all honesty. When he starts beating teams with a pulse, then I'll start feeling like maybe he's the guy.

    Not saying he is now, not saying he ain't. Just saying it's too early to tell just yet. Gotta score points against teams with a pulse. And he hasn't done that yet and regardless of what folks want to think ... we should've scored some good points in our 4 losses.
