We have more total yards than they do and we are winning the turnover battle… yet we are still trailing by 10 and about to be more.

That play is completely stuffed if Garmon does his job
Yep. You can't lose contain there.

Our edge players need to realize their job is right in their position name. Stop trying to do other players' jobs.

We need to stop them here. This is a big game… for a 9th win, turnaround season, and a win over a SEC team. All we will remember in the off-season if we lose this game, is all the mistakes from every side of the ball today, including the coaches.

Well… Forget what I said. We couldn't stop a run up the middle.

I don't mind going for it in that spot. What bothers me is lining the QB up 5 yards in the backfield, thus turning the play into an unnecessary 4th and 6.

This. Get under the center and have Pendergrass push you for the yard.

Which means we were probably going to throw it. Why not run it up the middle with Pendergrass?

Turn out the lights. The party is over. I expected better. Sloppy play and poor coaching decisions.

Why put ourselves in that spot to start with? Take the 3 points. Or go under center with QB.

Finally they call the PI. Does not make up for 4-5 they missed.

We are down 17 with only a quarter to go and it looks like we are trying to grind out the clock with these runs.

Thank goodness we get to keep Aranda forever. He's the most boring person in history.

This is what we stuck with guys. Maybe we can buy enough talent but Dave will always do this. A quirky very uncomfortable personality dude that thinks he's gonna double reverse psych the other team. Has probably net cost us 6-8 wins

And here he is ding it again
