I HATE our hurry up run up the gut for no gain. Offense has become lame. Joey doesn’t sell the play fake either on the next predictable 2nd down play.

Yeah this was a play off elimination game and I didn’t see any wrinkles. Once OU let you know that they are gonna be stout against the run up the middle, come at them differently. They had one LB that was everywhere. Maybe have a lead blocker for him and hit the edge. Something different. I was glad to see Joey keep it a couple times and slide.

Tonight, we need to maul Oklahoma. Bye week will allow some guys to heal up. Then we maul New Mexico State with our second string, allowing first stringers to continue healing. Then we maul us some gators in the swamp. And finally, we maul Vandy and crush Diego's spirits because that dude is a nob.

New Mexico State is playing well. I wouldn’t put it past us to keep that game a lot closer than it should be.

And after Joeys hail mary game he played tonight, I think merk and gmac should each get a quarter in the second half of that game, regardless of whatever the score is at halftime.

I feel like Heupel has kind of dialed back the "balls to the walls" mentality he had...or maybe that was more Alex.

Right now though we have 1 offensive coach that came from the outside.

Alec Abeln was a promotion within and I'm not sure why with how talented the TE room is supposed to be, the results don't match.

Elarbee been with Heupel since Missouri and we're getting good talent but also I thought he was supposed to be great at developing guys? Why do we see his OL still making the same mistakes every year with pre-snap penalties?

Halzle I don't know man...seems like he's always been with Heupel and maybe this is the area you really feel like are you just keeping him around because he's your buddy or is he good enough to be a OC/QB coach at this level?

Pope was an outside hire originally and then elevated. I think he's solid, this year we've seen really good play from the WR group.


But then oddly enough we've seen the defensive side bring in folks from outside and other than last year really not been a consistently good SEC defense. Always rough after a close loss...I mean with the turnover we had this off season maybe 6-3 is where we should be, but all 3 losses we gave away the games making dumb mistakes at multiple levels so that's what is frustrating the most. Joey is better than Nico and I guess that gave some false hope...still if we just eliminate the self inflicted mistakes...pre-snap penalties, blown coverages, missed assignments or bonehead throws we're 8-1 easily right now.

Still 2007 was our last 10 win team before Heupel came to town...we absolutely can go 3-0 to end the season, we're still just beating ourselves. No one we lost to has out coached us or had a clear talent advantage.

BYE week then New Mexico State before going to the Swamp. Goal should be get as healthy as possible. Run the score up on the Aggies and get starters out as quick as possible to make sure everyone is fresh for the final 2 games.

Started winning and took a back seat…his mentality has changed a lot coaching style specifically

Im over the upward sports and buddy system with players. Kitselman I don’t care if you’re older. Sit on the bench with your drops all the time. Why are we forcing Carter who can barely run and still playing Telander? Boo is a cancer and we let him stay and it has killed our defense. Have to cut people. Gilbert has cost us games now. Get him gone.

You had a night game and clear path if you just don’t suck and play ok. And we didn’t. Unreal by this staff to not have them ready to go win at home and at night.

Yep
Should’ve been up 21-0 early
But went into halftime down 16-10 lol


Did the same **** against bama

**** the bed against UGA

Literally should be undefeated right now but we’re 6-3 and out of the playoffs on November 1st lol
That’s embarrassing
We should make playoffs every year
Coaching staff failure this year
Need to recruit portal harder and quit being so loyal to guys on team bc they leave when they want
70% recruits. 30% portal unless your stacked with recruits which we’re currently not

Next year could get ugly unless major changes are made

Just got home from a gala so I didn't watch the game.

Can someone tell me how we lost when we out gained them by over 100 yards and had significantly less penalties. Lost the TO battle but we threw for 393.

How the hell did we lose?????

What has this team shown you that says we can win in Gainesville? We just lost to a QB with a damn broken hand, so what shows you we can beat a Pavia led Vandy squad? We’re going 7-5 in Year 5 of Heupel’s tenure. People need to go ahead and accept that.

Really wondering if this does happen
****ing ******** if it does

Burn the bitch down and start over is
Probably where I’ll be at
That would be a huge failure

Luttrell to OC and play calling. Don’t extend Hazle
Analysts for rules and clock
Hire a proven TE coach and make alban an analyst again

I’m over third and banks but it’s becoming very obvious that his defense kept Heupels seat from being warm in 23 and 24. Without his elite defense, we would have been bad.

I could give the defensive staff another year to portal and recruit to see what they can do. We need to keep this class in tact and use excess funds to portal some studs. Afraid if we make too many changes, we will see some deflections and this class is great.

Can we stop the argument of “OMG remember where we were 6 years ago?”

I think everyone is appreciative of Heupel bringing us out of the dregs of SEC play. But this also happened with significant financial commitments, transfer portal making it easier to quickly build a team, and easier recruiting due to NIL.

The goal is championships and at some point you can’t just bring up The fact that Jeremy Pruitt was one of the worst coaches of all time.
