The truth about this team and coach

[Coach007]

A good SEC OL doesn't allow a Charleston D so many stuffs at the LOS. the only good running plays I saw were from Fitz or when we got creative with non generic stuff. I don't remember any vanilla straight up the middle successful runs. That shouldn't happen especially considering the size advantage along with the fact Charleston was constantly coming on time and time again after 3 and outs.

Those were not an OL issue. We had some read issues.

[Hypnodawg]

Our o line play was bad. Their nose guard was whipping anyone on our oline one on one. I'm betting the rest of the teams we play will have d linemen more like the nose guards talent level and its going to be bad. On the plus side, defense looked legit for the first time in a long time.

So let me get this straight - on the first weekend of the season, when only 2 SEC teams are playing P5 competition, we rank second in the SEC in Total Offense (18th nationally) and tied for 2nd in Scoring (tied for 26th nationally), played almost the entire eligible offensive roster, only punted 5 times, racking up 555 total yards and 49 points, our OL is trash, we have no chance to improve, and we are doomed to another underwhelming season.

Y'all some real shitty fans.

when? next year. We were going against a DL where we outweighed them by 70lbs. They were still getting to our /rBs in the backfield.

I rewatched the game and when they got into our backfield it was due to stunts, not by beating our OL heads up. Mostly linebackers spying Fitz and rushing in unblocked. Still not good, but us outweighing them by 70lbs had nothing to do with it. They weren't blowing us off the ball by any means.

That's a pretty common game plan when a team knows they're outgunned. Stunt, blitz and sell out and hope you create negative plays. They did that the whole game yesterday.

Agreed...

Sure it is... that's on the coaches. The comment was in response to us "outweighing them by 70lbs"...

That is simply not true. Anytime Sands (57) was in the game and we didn't double him, he pushed his way into the back field. They only credit him with 4 assist, but he was killing our o line.

Precisely.

[Kyper]

Seriously.... i just have to laugh sometimes. We rushed for 281 yards at an average of a little less than 6 per carry making us 19th in rushing yards.

We went into our subs when?? Come on!

Thats just it- a good OL produces 400 rushing yards yesterday

They didnt create negative plays all day....

[Lord McBuckethead]

Sure we do. Not every thing is dependent on WRs. We have talent there, but we have GREAT TEs. That spreads any defense. This OL is going to surprise you.

All I saw yesterday was a OL that was allowing too many people through on pass plays and getting relatively no push in the run game. Against those Dlmen I question their grit. Hope they get a nasty streak between now and week 2.

Sorry I didn't communicate that well. I meant they stunted, blitz and gambled all day not that they created negative plays all day.

Would have had way more had the starters been left in

The starters were playing in the 2nd Q when they started stuffing the run. We'll just disagree here. I'll revisit this convo after LSU when we struggle to rush for 50 yards

Lol! The offense as a whole became lethargic. It was a chump team and we were blowing them out.

It was just the just the OL. It was the whole offense

[Pollodawg]

Don't think we'll underwhelm. We're just not close to a play off team. I still say 9-4.

[Coach007]

Our schedule will allow a loss to bama and still make it

[HSVDawg]

I'd be thrilled with that. I'm kinda in the 7-5 camp but cautiously optimistic that it could be better. Win any of the 3 against murderer's row after the La Tech game, that bumps us up to 8-4. Win more than one of those, and we can start talking about what needs to be done to win the West / get into CFP. Yesterday definitely made me more wooly though, not less. Vastly improved D greatly overshadowed the OL question marks.

We averaged 6 yards per carry in the 2nd quarter, 4.82 in the first. We didn't run it as much (8 att vs 17) but the avg per rush was higher.
