What frustrates me...

And this happens ever week it seems. We started the first two drives of the game with quick slants. Both were successful for about 15 yards each.


We then proceeded to not throw another slant the rest of the game if memory serves me correctly. Everything after seems to just be slow developing long balls or these DC's are tightening up the middle to stop it every game, not sure what the problem is... but we seem to go away from what works pretty quickly.




and oops, Briles just tried another unsuccessful Burks WR Pass. Hope we never see that again.

With Filleepay most likely leaving, who do you think I’d the starter for 2021?

KJ offers experience but very minimal experience at that, for a guy that is in his 3rd year.

Coley has a good arm and some legs. Not sure about his size yet, as he looks small, but small guys do well in this system.

Grad Transfer would be huge if we can get a guy in here in January. Not sure who it’s gonna be but seems inevitable to get one.

Rodgers I really like because he’s got a massive arm, SEC size already, smart, and can flat out run when called on to do so. Not timid at all.

Hiring Mid-Major Coaches

Maybe I'm still damaged from the Morris era but it seems like most of these high performing mid-major guys struggle in P5 jobs.

Morris
Fuente
Norvell
Frost
Satterfield
Fedora
Even PJ Fleck is struggling at MN

There are obviously exceptions (Urban Meyer) but not too many that I can think of. ADs might want to avoid those shiny new toys!

Recruiting

I think this class is ok. And maybe it’s because of COVID but I totally expected to flip a few 4 stars or something. Kiffin is killing us right now. I would say Pittman and kiffin are both elite recruiters. But right now I’m not seeing pittmans recruiting ability come into full effect yet. And you can’t say time on the job, because kiffins had just as much time.

Football VIDEO+LIVE UPDATES: Pittman post-game

They were trying to pin the punt returner to the sideline but the punt went to the middle of the field.

"Some of the things that happened today were uncharacteristic of our team"

8 sacks - "It looked pretty overwhelming to me. We were having trouble picking them up, I had trouble picking them up at Georgia with one of the best lines. We have to figure out how to move the pocket."

"We thought we could hit some quicker throws but I guess they weren't open"

"Feleipe had gotten hit and hurt so we were trying to let him catch his bearings on the third drive" (so it wasn't scripted that KJ would go in)

"I wouldn't have any idea why players wouldn't want to play in a bowl game. We got our buttkicked today but it was the only game that we did'

Nick Starkel

I know Hutch probably has a thread on this but I couldn't find it. Starkel is completing 74% of his passes for 693 yards and 7 TD and 1 INT in 2 games. 178 rating. And has SJSU 2-0.

I know its not the SEC, but we probably couldn't have beaten Air Force or New Mexico last year. We sure couldn't beat SJSU. And Starkel sure as hell wouldn't have put up those type of numbers even with better talent.

Rhetorical question that's been asked a million times, but WTF was going on here?
