We lose to Bama big no matter who is under center or who's out there playing... Number one priority is to not get anyone hurt in this irrelevant game. Put in the walk-ons and JG...
Get ready and geared up for the remainder of the schedule. Realistically we could get to 5-7, which may salvage some recruits, which should be our only goal right now. Next year try to scare bama... but not this year. F them.
If we can pull a few more play makers in this recruiting class (D linemen, LB's, and a WR) then we will be in better shape next season and more experienced to be a true threat out there... them's tha facts.

Listened to most of the Pod For Life cast and Ubben had plenty of praise. Started by saying we won "by a wide margin" all the way around. Then talked about how totally different we looked Saturday. Also said we dominated both LOSs. He was shocked by just how much confidence the staff seems to have lost in JG. Rexrode did say MSU was "not a great team" (duh) and maybe 10 minutes later Ubben said MSU was "not very good" but I didn't hear a word about us being lucky, calls going our way, or that sort of thing. The only thing that irked me slightly was Rexrode chuckling it up at USC, "who just beat Georgia!" coming up in 2 weeks...as if they are worldbeaters, but ok.

Now I didn't listen to the last 5 or 10 minutes because they were repeating a lot of the same stuff, so maybe I missed the supposed "omg UT was soo lucky to even win", but anyway.

I wish our coach was Meh. We’d be on our way to a 2nd season of double digit wins. Instead we’re staring at a 3rd straight bowless season. If that’s Meh then our guy is Germy Poot.

Gotta love the ballsy move by Stoops. Rather than accept having the worst QB in the nation, he throws his best playmaker back there. I wish we'd spend just 1 spot on that kind of guy - a great runner capable of taking snaps at QB. You never know when you could utilize him and meantime he can be a WR. Feels like a blindspot we don't have a true DT QB on the team. I'm talking a guy fast enough to even make plays horizontally. We don't have that.

Are you saying JJ isn't fast enough? I'd still take the dog.

Totally agree when/if your all-run plan is materially worse than your balanced attack. Given we can't line up and run it down Bama's throat...but even Chryst put up 21 last year on them...I'd agree with you. It may not only lead to less ball control, but also fewer points.

And then there's image. How does it look if we show up, on national tv, clearly trying to lose by as little as possible? How do recruits see that? How do dogs like JJ feel about that and affect him going forward? I think he and the national audience would have much more respect if we got blown out going balls to the wall than blown out running every play.

This idea that we can line up against Bama and milk the clock for 4 quarters and keep it respectful is totally bogus iyam. That said, I wouldn't be against a run heavy approach.

MAURER between the 20s, JJ wildcat redzone. JG off the bench after Maurer inevitably gets Captain Insano’d by somebody.

Hmm idk. Certainly not Dobbs or Bowden or Emory Jones speed and agility. He has decent speed and tough as nails, but his agility and cuts aren't great.

I think he's been in that package before, hasn't he? He tried to power run it if iirc. I'd think we'd have seen more of it if it was really legit. But I'm never against giving him more shots to prove himself at anything. He finds a way

Pretty sure he was just before hiring Kevin Steele before that Orange Bowl disaster. Even then he still should have been hired. Just goes to show what a place that has resources like Tennessee can do for an even average coach. Keep Wilcox or hire Steele and we might be singing a different tune around here.

We still would have had Dooley but maybe we don't get Butch.
