Aguilar is the man

Can you explain in detail how Heupel failed him? I may have just missed it but from what I saw for the majority of the game receivers were just not catching the ball.

Huge fan of Aguilar, but I feel like one of the INTs tonight was on him. He forced the pass to Kits, and that is why it was picked (2nd one tonight). Either way, he keeps fighting and making things happen. True team player.

I can see that but at same time, it went thru his hands and bounced off his helmet

Also he probably deserved 1 or 2 of those interceptions, because he has gotten away with a couple bad throws in the easier games against inferior opponents.

Yes I can. Heupel’s end of game clock management was as bad as it ever gets. That was a such a disaster that I heard from people I haven’t heard from in months complaining about it.

Nothing dramatic about what I said. Every turnover today was because of drops, another TD was dropped, and Heupel managed the end of the game as horribly as he could have. Aguilar overcame it all.

Heupel mismanaged the clock at the end of the game. But we won. Saying he failed him is very dramatic.

Drops need to be discussed because they have been a problem in every game with every pass catcher aside from Brazzell.

You can’t teach catching. You either catch them or you don’t. Unless you have some unknown techniques that could revolutionize college football. It is what it is. We won. Don’t be some emotional and dramatic brother. You’re better than that.

How did Heupel fail him??? Dude is going to be all SEC because of CJH.
Kitzleman (but a little bit of JA as well) cost him both picks. Matthews drops an easy TD. Brazzel got robbed. Gilbert failed him. How on earth does JH have any blame for anything?

Managing the clock well in a close game is one of the easiest things a coach can do to positively impact a game. Heupel managed it as horribly as he possibly could have. Even the Hail Mary formation was weird as shít and completely against conventional wisdom.

A guy who prides himself on going fast took a whole minute to call two plays. That was an abject failure, and Heupel got lucky that OT went the way it did.

And that failed the starting quarterback? I do understand the criticism that clock management could have been better this game, but play calling in the game outside of that was spot on. The players have to execute.

Heupel failed him. Every pass catcher he has failed him, aside from Brazzell who has been phenomenal this year. But the guy doesn’t get rattled. He doesn’t blink. He just keeps putting on more steam. Joe Milton and Nico Iamaleava lose that game. Joey Aguilar is a winner. He will drag us as far as he possibly can, because he has real grit in his shít.

Yeah I am not sure how the next few weeks are gonna play out. But I agree with every last word you said. And if any one year and out guy in the future is gonna be fondly remembered and admired? Joey is raising the damn bar quite high.

The drops are not on Heupel. I’m not saying those are on coaching. Heupel failed his team today with horrific clock management. Every receiver other than Brazzell failed their team today with horrible drops. The drops and the clock management are unrelated.

Yes it failed the quarterback and the rest of the team.

Clock management is the one thing that a coach is responsible for that you could literally pick a 10 year old Madden player up off the couch and get a decent job from him. And Heupel is horrific at it every time he has to perform in that situation. Absolutely inexcusable that the end of regulation went the way it did, and if we had lost in OT, Heupel would have been most to blame.
