Is it our OC or QB

[wesley21]

Nope, wake up. Heupel is capable but apparently quite content with the big picture which does not include UT winning against Alabama. He can win this game if he chooses to do so. He quit and his team did as they were told to. If it were simply about winning, we are all happy tonight. Bigger things going on and UT is not a part of it. Our coaches didn’t forget how to coach/win
At halftime.
Our players didn’t forget how to win/play at halftime. Take a step back; you may be able to understand why UT fans are disappointed. UT isn’t part of the plan this year,
I hope we are in the future and I hope when our team wins it is due to their desire,
Preparation and coaching. I’m convinced college football is no better than boxing, very sad but tonight confirms much to me.

Beginning to feel like it’s all scripted

Baffled at how often they threw the ball before with him being terrible, then acted like they couldn't in the 2nd half after he was playing extremely well.

Exactly. Its like they had amnesia and were hell bent on running

Joe processes too slow. Many times there are plays there to be made down field, but the ball is late or he is too unsure. He is what he is now and not a single coach in America could change that. Hooker was perfect for this offense. He processed fast and got the ball out quickly, and had great mobility.

We have a great recruiting class stacking up this year, as well as another likely top 10 class next year. This is a slow build, this is a resurrection and it doesn't happen over night. We finally have a competent head coach who can coach, develop and recruit. 2025 will be our first year of many years making the playoff.

What are we close to? Tell me what the season means to you when you lose to FL, Bama, and GA? Shall we celebrate beating the teams that we should be beating every year without issue?

When you lose to all three, then you put youth in to build for the future. Our seniors had their chance for glory at that point and have flopped, you don't owe them anything at that point unless they personally have played well.

I don’t disagree with your sentiment. I’m worried about the O-Line and Nico is going to have immense pressure with the hype and huge NIL deal. He’s still a kid, regardless of how wealthy he is.

On the flip side, the defense is getting more talent and the run game will be talented and experienced. The biggest question is “can we run with a bad offensive line?” Hopefully the answer is “leadership steps up and the O-Line gets better even though we lost our best guys”.

I agree with you, I am somewhat concerned how we will be next year. Up to this point most all of our star players were Pruitt's recruits

It's either the qb or the wrs or a combination of both. It's obvious we don't attack all parts of the field like we did last year. All of our throws are outside of the hashes. We throw quick screens and an occasion go pattern. Against alabama we ran some come back routes (hadn't seen that all year). Those were outside the hashes too. The int milton threw against a&m in the end zone was one of the few throws over the middle all year.
