63 points to that offense is absolutely inexcusable. I have defended them all year...until now. I can not defend that gameplan or coaching.
It's really indefensible, McGill. I'm probably one of the biggest "let's give them time to get players and install their system" people on here, but there is no way to make a legitimate case as to why they performed so poorly.
Heupel and the offensive staff/players are really overachieving. When they were having problems, all of us saw how they recognized them and fixed them by the next week. Milton standing flat-footed in the pocket as an example. The defensive problems are just as obvious. It seems like nothing is being done, but we know they are trying different things. It's not working, at all. They've had 2 full seasons to make adjustments to their scheme and depth chart, but what they're doing is not working.
I'm not advocating fahring asses yet, but they need to make some serious changes to the scheme, personnel, and general defensive philosophy fast and it needs to be visible to the fans watching. As fans, we have to have some reason for hope on that side of the ball and they're only giving us the opposite of hope. It makes it even more frustrating seeing the offense doing so much with so little and the defense riding the short bus to games.
I just hope they make changes and the fans can see, as soon as Vandy, that they are adjusting and trying to adapt to help cover their deficiencies. Fans seeing changes and effort to fix it would go a long way, I think. Gonna make us all a little more sick if they keep trotting out the same personnel, coverages and blitz packages. Definition of insanity type of deal.
