I'm sure there's a Blackbeard circle jerk board you can join that'll make up for it.

You can talk about how Leach loses to an FCS team every fscking year.

Yeah he can join them going to another Sun Bowl while UT is in Atlanta competing for an SEC title

What's your problem with me? Let's just clear it up now. I'm getting tired of taking **** for no reason.

I love Hurd but I think this rushing attack will be better with Kelly next year.

Just not a fit for the offense. Not his fault.

FF predictably in full meltdown mode.

I'm not happy about the game, but I think I have decent perspective on it considering the injuries. Those dudes have turned on Jones, DeBord, Shoop, Hurd, Dobbs, and anyone else in orange they can target.

Of course. Legion of the Miserables.

Poor DeBord puts up 1,600 yards and 100 plus points in three weeks and then everyone wants him fired after playing the #1 team with a backup offensive line

I'm not a fan of the offense. Maybe it's the personnel, maybe it's the coaches, but it just frustrates the hell out of me. One second we look like the greatest show on turf, the next it's three runs up the gut for three series in a row. I don't know what to attribute that to. I want to say coaching. I realize Jones is the lynchpin in that, so changing our DeBord is probably not the answer.

Either way, I'm not passing final judgement after a game like today. Not much you can take away outside of the injuries.

It's the offensive line. When they are at minimum average we move the ball up and down the field. When they are injured or suck we aren't good.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mahoney canned

I get that but I swear there are lapses in playcalling when we just fall into total conservation mode. It seems like it happens almost every game, regardless of how well or poorly we're doing.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'll love it with J. Gitmo at the helm and some dynamic running backs in the backfield behind an experienced O-line. But I do feel like DeBord isn't the best playcaller, even in this offense.

No I agree but it's the overall philosophy that Butch has. Don't make plays that kill ya. Annoying as hell.

I don't understand where this comes from?

I enjoy watching WSU offense and laughing at their ridiculous head coach. UT is better. There's no reason to go alpha about it.

So I guess that's my question. Could we benefit from a "better" OC, even if he's still running Jones' offense? Or is DeBord getting everything he can or that Jones wants out of it?

I do try to give Butch an ounce benefit with my doubt that it's his QB.

Some of the guys that ran his offense the best (CMU guy I can't think of that did well) and Callaros, both obviously have better arms, and probably kept it on the read about as often as Dobbs does anyway.

Dobbs is a really good run threat, and has probably saved the season being able to avoid pressure and sacks, but I think the offense will be better with a more balanced QB like he's had before.

I just can't get a good read until I see a good, healthy offensive line (although it's year 4 so...).

I think DeBord is solid. Like Dbake says DeBord can scheme like a mad man. We would have scored 50 last week without turnovers.

All HUNHoffense go in slumps in game. I think it's style. When you run A up tempo no huddle you run more plays which means more chances to have bad plays. Sometimes you run a simple run or screen that's a one word call to keep up tempo and get more plays. That leads to plays that don't really do much. I think that's why we've seen way more check with me which was worked well.

I still think JG is the perfect QB for this system. He's a much more advanced passer than Dobbs at this point in their development and can run. I think he'll be great.
