At what point do the big money folks realize that this man is a fraud and is worth ponying the money up to get rid of? That's the question

You're a moron. How do you blame Aranda for that. He had his player in the right spot. Not his fault his player can't catch a ball that hit him in the hands.

We've already pushed their D-line more on one play than we did Auburn all game last week.

That's a positive sign.

Great effort to get off a pass for a 2 yard loss.

Not going great so far. Need a big play,

Have heard rumblings that he's got a lingering injury of some sort dating back to last season.
