    The 3 vs 5 people are the same that say, "Leach's offense has worked everywhere, it'll work here," and, "a third-year starting QB in Leach's offense has always won 9 games."

    1. Everything works until it doesn't, and 2. Leach's previous teams probably haven't had to face the reigning national champion and the presumptive number one team and at least two more top 10 recruiters and several more top 20 recruiters.

    Additionally, saying, "we have to block them," is not a solution when it's been proven we can't block them. That requires planning and strategy, doing something the D doesn't expect, something they'll have to adjust to, something different.
    It worked last year as good as almost any offense in our history has worked. It was inconsistent at times, but what the hell are you people watching? The shit works. It may not be as exciting as you want it to be, but that's your own problem. Our defense and special teams is the reason we didn't win 9 or 10 games last year.

    What? It was only our 5th highest Scoring average in the last 10 years. Hell, even Ralph and the 2010 O scored as much

    How many times did Dan come from three scores down to win a game?

    Use your Google Fu and let me know.

    C'mon mane.

    We got two scores down, much less three, on any SEC team and it was over. We are running a system built for comebacks. Boring or not.

    But again, carry on.

    Interesting hill to die on- getting down by multiple TD's in games....But whatever

    And Mullen came back to beat UPig after being down 14-0 in his next to last SEC game. Carry on.

    Nah, I'm just looking at the flowers on this hill.

    Your Google Fu works though.

    The last 10 years has been most our best offenses in our history.

    As it is with most schools around the country. The last 20 years has been an offensive explosion in NCAA Football. We just chose to waste 5 years of it with Croom.

    Cool. So like I said, last year was one of our most productive offenses in school history in year 2 of Leach. Not sure what the argument is. Everyone views Mullen’s offense as our standard for success and he already has one that would be a top 5 Mullen offense in year 2.

    I just want us punting less this year. In the first three games of the season we punted 17 times. That is simply too much. We only scored 13 points against a shitty bears defense while the game was in doubt.

    We definitely had some fun games last year, i've talked about how much I loved the AU game last year, but our offense was extremely frustrating at times last year. I'm hoping for less of that this year. I really thought after the UK game and AU game we had turned a corner. The egg and bowl game made me wonder.

    Don’t disagree at all.
