As conservative as the play calling was against OK in the 2nd half, the players still had multiple opportunities to make plays to win the game. The coaches put the players in position to win and they didnt get it done.
The worst thing about them going into conservative mode was they failed to run the play clock down along with it. Once they went conservative, if they had ran the play clock down under 3 seconds each play, we would have still won the game. Just a poor job anyway you look at it.
I have little football IQ, but it seems to me that Butch Jones wants the team to conform to his system instead of molding the system to strengths of the players that he has in his stable.
with all the talent we have on offense, why is debord not taking full advantage? I get so tired of seeing us being overly conservative on offense. I'm not here calling for his job or anything, but when will we open it up more? We should have beat ou, but defense slacked off and our offense seemed to be content being conservative and not putting more pressure on the downfield passing game. Hurd and kamara are capable of keeping drives going, but why not use dobbs the way we did at the end of last season? I'm just not too happy with our production. Thoughts?

I wonder what the Alabama boards are like ?
I fully believe that Butch has been holding back slightly, specifically for the SEC part of our schedule. The biggest part of our decline over the last 10 years is no victories over UF. I expect the chains to come off this weekend.
