How on earth under any circumstances will we generate enough offense next week to stay with Bama?

We won't. At this point, we have to figure out how to win every other game left. Our recruiting class will fall apart if we get embarrassed like this again. Hell, I'm hoping today doesn't make it fall apart.

People will try to defend, but you cannot sell "progress" after a game like this. You just can't. If anything, we regressed.

I think the real problem is we have 0 QB. I’m not a fan of Chaney as I thought I would be either. His offense is the most uncreative thing ive ever seen and I think Pruitt wants us to be straight up pro style which nobody is anymore.

This. I hate our offense. It seems like Chaney are at a cross roads. Chaney wants to be gun spread and Pruitt wants to be power run. Somethings gotta give. Bama isn't even low and slow pro style anymore.

If he didn’t play another down after Bama last year then we likely don’t win all of the games we did at the end of the season.

If he doesn’t think Shrout or BM (no idea if he’s injured or what) are the answer but HB may be and just isn’t ready, JG will be needed again this season to win us a game. Just seems to be how it always works out. Even if he’s QB2, at some point he’ll likely be needed

Edit: Maybe you’re thinking I’m defending JG? Not the case. At all. Just saying he may be needed again.

That's fine, just don't start him again and give HB, BM, or Shrout more than 1 chance to prove they can play QB. Most everyone needs to see a QB change.... the team and the fans

We will never know because the other QB’s never get reps period!..as I’ve stated before how Pruitt handled the whole situation last year he came out extremely lucky..it’s not happening again this year

I've posted this before and I will say it again. I saw him in camp the first season that he RS'd. He looks the same as he did then. Deer in the headlights, fumbled the snap on a goal line series, threw laterally into the ground or over the WR's head, threw late on everything - but - would throw 40 yards accurately if not rushed. Exactly like now.

It truly is amazing. Not one of our 17 different OC/QB coach combos could fix him. Haha

Lol LET THE SEASON PLAY OUT

Remember how it was after BYU/UF last year...

Arky 2015 and the "player only meeting"...

Then we went and closed out both seasons really strong.

Not saying that happens again, as things don't always get better, but as fans we should wait to pass staff judgment till after they get a full season in. We must remember there is a LOT of variance in CFB due to a very limited sample size. This isn't like the NBA with 90 possessions a game and 82 games a year. CFB has maybe 70 possessions a game over a mere 12 game season.

Judging the staff right now is equal to judging an NBA staff after TWO of their 82 games...lots of weird things happen in the short-term. Let's wait and see how we finish.

Which is why Saban altered his offense..he was starting down the same path as spurrier,Les,Fulmer and Bowden

Lol well Pruitt doesn’t answer to us, he answers to Phil.

Pruitt doesn’t have to prove to us that JT and BM and Bailey aren’t ready. We may want him to. Beg him to. But he doesn’t have to. His decision.

I think we should start someone else. Bailey preferably. But I think not trashing JG is a smart move bc he may be needed to win us a game.

As pissed as I am about losing today, anyone even hinting at firing Pruitt at this point needs to check themselves. We're not going to get better. We've proven we won't spend to hire a big name. We've more than proven it. Any hire would be another roll of the dice. We benefit more from consistency at this point. On the recruiting front, on the development front, on the (most importantly to the university) financial front....Firing Pruitt is not the answer, but Fulmer needs to get up his ass and help him figure this out. Today was unacceptable.

Why does it always have to come to some awful loss and the “players only meeting” or rallying around some horrid start? Why can’t we play sound football for 12 damn games. I’m tired of looking back on seasons and saying “what if we had played like we finished for 12 games?”

Here's is the thing with that....we don't end our season with the cupcake schedule like previous years...

After Bama we end with...Arkansas (not a gimme) TAMU, Auburn, Vandy, and UF.

This. When asked why they (recruits) like UT, they say 'I like the direction they are going'. We are certainly not going in the right direction, and that really hurts.

I suggest we get our snacks, and watch it without stress. In Garbage time hope they put in Bailey, and he can be our first team quarterback in practice in the bye week. We aren't going to go to any championships with this team, and are they even having bowls? I don't even know.
