Yeah, I’m actually with you here. That surprised me. I wondered if they wore down as the season went on, despite the depth.

Ole Miss and USCe in the end may have had more disruptive DLs than we did. I didn’t see that coming either.

That said, sounds like the two weeks of practice helped OSU scheme around their own OL problems. I had a sense what our guys saw on film was very different than what they saw on the field, and it made them a step slow. Wish we did the same in reverse.

They played some weak teams earlier, looked better than they were in reality.
Were good but not great.
uGA and Ohio st OC’s ate Banks’s lunch with their game plan which didn’t help.

Listen, Peay boy, I AM NOT A BIGFOOT!!! I am a Yeti. We are far superior to both Bigfoot and you humans.

Yeti were outcast from their bigfoot tribes, centuries ago, for doing unspeakable things. They eventually developed white hair to hide in the snow better. Contrary to popular belief, yeti aren't trying to hide from humans. They are hiding from other Bigfeet, trying to avoid the inevitable butt whooping.

Well, that's a complete fabrication. You and Sally are liars. Yetis are descended from angels.

What is the "holy grail" for liquor collectors? Is it something different for each collector or is there 1 bottle that they all covet?

Im not even in the ball park. Pappy van winkle especially the 23 is highly sought after and expensive. Google most sought after bourbons.

Why dont we have wheel routes to the RBs? Thats a great play to run once a game or so. For that matter...why can every other SEC team run quick slants except for us?? The extra wide splits we use make that play more effective...not less. The WR just has to get inside leverage on the DB and get his head around for the pass. One of the simplest plays in football and yet nearly impossible to stop if executed correctly. Squirrel/Staley cant catch a slant? Until this year our defense has been absolutely haunted by slant passes. Killed us. For decades. Why don't we use them? Everyone else does, college and pro.

The biggest problem besides our WRs being in the worst 10 statistically in FBS in both dropped passes AND actually getting separation from DBs was a lack of patience. How many first half drives did we have where we are moving down the field, good gains on the ground and short to intermediate passes going well....and then 4 or 5 plays into the drive we sling the ball 50 yards downfield? Got behind the sticks then...2nd and 10 or 3rd and long...and killed the drive. We did it so many times that even Hubbs has mentioned it at least 3 times over the season on VQ youtube. Total lack of patience. I understand those huge plays are great when they work...but when Nico overthrew nearly all of them by 5 yards for 3 or 4 games, and when he didnt guys like Nimrod, Brazzell, and even Squirrel just flat dropped them. We should have beaten Arkansas by 3TDs. If only Nimrod caught the sure thing, wide open TD passes to him we would have had 14 more points.

We knew that Ark loss was huge when it happened. A couple plays in that game cost us a win, an 11-1 season...and likely a home playoff win vs SMU or somebody. This is a game of inches, talent, and especially execution. We will have to improve before we can take that next step. I am very thankful for how far we have come though.

Re slants: because the WR are so wide, the throw is long. And the DBs play inside leverage because of the sideline, which is the throwing lane for a slant.

Y’all still throw them, but it’s harder than if the WR were 10-15 yards closer in.
