If we had just punted and played D it would only be 13-0

Remember the days less than a decade ago when we lost all of our quarterbacks to injuries and ran for about 600 yards in a bowl game?

What was the name of that coach we had?

Yeah but we had blac- uh, I mean "thugs" on the team that were trying to seduce the daughters of some of the guys on the board of regents . He had to go

3rd and 20 PI…inexcusable

We should have been doing that this season. Bringing him back delayed the inevitable and set us back even further. How Mack decided it was a good idea to give Dave a 5th year will never make sense


Can only assume it has something to do with the contract he got?
You mean the contract Rhoades gave him?

So dumb. On 3rd and 20? Why Jenkins?
Let’s Go!

Of course a PI on third and 20

It's not a great look for the AD

Yeah, you can't do that. Make a freshman quarterback prove he can complete that pass. But committing a PI in that situation is inexcusable.

Are you really defending this garbage? Do you see a single thing so far we can hang our hat on? Other than having a punter


I predicted this to be a blow out before the game just like everybody else.

The difference is y'all are moaning about apparently ridiculous expectations in the face of a blowout.

Finn is throwing terribly. The OL is costing us the game. The D has blown some huge plays--but has otherwise looked decent. Literally none of that was unexpected.

All I'm saying is game 2 against the top of the conference is not a world ender when you were EXPECTED to be blown out anyway.


I think Finn being a horrible passer is the big deflating part of this. Him coming to us as a transfer gave some of us a glimmer of hope we could have a semi-productive offense again. I had no idea he would look this bad.

The OL sucks and that's definitely part of the problem....but on the few open looks he's had he's not been even close. So bad.

Ho hum.

Maybe they can install the veer during halftime?

Sawyer has played at a high level again SEC defenses. Finn looks overwhelmed.

Yeah I hope for Sawyers sake that he jumps ship. I'm not saying he's a stud or anything but him not getting opportunities in this **** show is laughable


Wait a minute… "I'm b******** and moaning"? Chuckles

The fact that this is where we are in Year 5 is completely and utterly inexcusable. Our expectations going into this game weren't based on the depths to which Aranda has taken us. They were based on what should be acceptable in our program for a fifth-year coach.

The Aranda experiment was a failure. It's well past time to move on.

Honestly Aranda needs to be fired today if he doesn't switch to Sawyer right now.

17 total yards in the first half. Terrible.

Explosive, I tell you. Downright explosive. But they are playing for the field goal before halftime so I suppose 26-0 won't look quite as bad as 30-0.

Finn completed a pass beyond 10 yards.

I thought the D showed some life. The rest of the B12 identified a couple of players to take in the off season.

We just doubled our total yardage on one play.

That looked nasty. Hope Hal is ok.

That hit should come with a suspension. That ****'s going to get someone killed one of these days.

this is a coaching problem again

it took me 1 minute to find his highlights on youtube. 90% are runs. if he had the throwing highlights they'd be here. dudes a runner being asked to throw. that's not a dequan issue...that's a coaching/play-calling issue.
