I miss having a trash defense and elite offense if we’re going to be this mediocre because that is at least fun to watch. This is just painful.

Lol
I know right
Wtf

This second half is the most important half in coaches career. A loss at home to a lame duck coach could be program collapsing bad, I don’t think that’s an exaggeration.

2 lame ducks in a row makes you a lame coach.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

A few of these things happened when Nico had a perfect pocket. It’s on him too.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I just don’t know what we can do to get it going on offense.

Rollouts, draw/shovel pass when they blitz hard, keep trying the deep shots.

At this point the UK and Vandy games are terrifying

 

[Orange.]

There is a spectrum of playcalling with run it up the middle on one end and statue of liberty on the other. Somewhere in the middle, like a screen or outside run, would be adequate. Something other than what the DL is clearly expecting.

We got the first down, jave. This board is f'n negative.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Well, we could very well be losing by three scores in a game that is essentially over. So there's that.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

This is almost an exact repeat of the Arkansas game

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Nico isn't getting benched.
Moore belongs at Coastal Carolina and Merk isn't ready.
Just gotta hope the lumps are worth it for the future.

Does Nico belong at coastal?

The stadium is asking

 

[buffaloblue]

I say try the #2 out, what is the harm at this point? We haven’t scored in two quarters. They are literally stacking the box and asking us to throw it.

My personal view on this is coaches know there is a big gap. Also think if it continues into third quarter you may have to at least consider it. At some point everyone has to be judged on performance.

 

[I4Jay]

dont let that interception take our focus off how bad of a coach Elarbee has been for us for 4 years. He's stealing money

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I definitely feel like Gaston would at least take off and run more.

Overall, don’t think it would be better.

Atleast that might open up the pass game more….

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Offense is rough this season. Is what it is. Hopefully defense can give us short fields next half

I can't believe we looked so good vs scrubs and not even a little bit of that success carried over to the big games.

The way he's playing now, yes.

Potential wise..... no

 

[rjd970]

No qb looks good when they're rattled by a bad ol. Moore would be no different.

When he’s had time he hasn’t hit open guys downfield. Tell me I’m wrong.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I just don’t know what we can do to get it going on offense.

Quick slants. Maybe some trick plays? Misdirections. Wildcat. We have to at some point get creative.

I think Gaston is the equivalent of Hawkins and the OU offense.

LOL the complaining was before the first down. You retroactively reprimanded us for calling Heupel conservative on the first 3 plays after he went for it.

7-5 Bruh.

Yeah that’s prob a good comparison tbh

Pretty much this ^^^.

PM was no world beater his first season.

 

[jave36]

His mind doesn't just reset every play. When you've had 6 straight quarters with bad protection, it doesn't just go away because for one play the protection held.

 

[buffaloblue]

Having the tools simply isn’t enough.

The OL has played like dog****, but the frustrating part is even if they had I haven’t seen anything from Nico to believe it would make a difference. Even when he had time he was overthrowing, missing reads, and throwing pics. Nico isn’t it, so you just keep him out there and lose?

I honestly think he’s a 19-20 year old kid pressing. I think the backup would signify a significant downgrade on ability. Giving up on Nico in game 5 of freshman year is a lot as well. I still believe in the kid but need to start seeing growth

 

[jave36]

Yep.

 

[gordonr24]

Anyone in the stadium? Has the noise on defense come down considerably?
