For some reason our OC thinks we can pocket pass. But d's blitz and cover the short stuff and we are helpless. We HAVE to roll him out. There is no time for long developing plays in the pocket.
To which crappy OC are you referring?

Play action. A jet sweep. A screen pass.

Anything to punish aggressive d blitzing and playing short routes.

Pierce. That was a classy 3rd down conversion. This is a nice drive.

I understand being aggressive, but not sure why we went for two there. Do that later if it comes to it.

I just don't understand what our approach is supposed to be on offense. Behind 31-7.

Sure ball control makes sense early, but that's been out the window since the second quarter. I like Lea's persona, but for heaven's sake we have never won consistently with a defensive-minded coach.

No way we have a chance to win at this rate. I hope I'm wrong. Just too far behind an explosive offense to grind it out.

Why throw it away on a two point conversion?

That is not good football IQ.

After a pretty drive like that going for two and throwing a prayer just leavews a bad taste. If you have a good play - that's one thing. That was just heave it under pressure. I really don't get it.

Watch the spread down the line...

Being down 16 makes it a 2 td game. 17 or 18 makes it a 3 score difference.

Great drive out of half. Now need first quarter defense to reappear.

Yes. I was screaming at the tv about that hold on the td.

We need tear away jerseys.

Well we got a close roughing call - the same announcers who praised the Orji call thought that one was really tough.

Seals gets in by accident. I think he might be well suited to this game.

I'm glad they are watching this obvious catch so closely - but the ball our guys thought was a fumble by UT we never even got a replay.

I don't understand why we are drying up the clock down 25. Run the play on 4th down there was more than enough time.

With the added time, lets see some creativity. Because if we run it up the middle all we did was give their D line time to rest.

Deuce McCallister keeps being confused about which team is which. At least 5 times, so far.
No idea why they reviewed that catch.

Two pocklet passes and it is 3rd and 10. Almost everything working has been a roll out.

Shepard makes a really nice play. Wright finds him. Mercifully, UT did not blitz.

Another nice drive by the o.

We may get a 100 yard rusher and receiver in the same game again.

The o in the second half has been improved. Credit where credit is due.

I can't help thinking if we used a little misdirection we would almost be dangerous.
