Would have been a stronger presentation in a nice black lace pushup…I was a little concerned when @CobbWebb71 was ready to blame the loss on the MSU rally boobs
Mathews had 118 yards receiving, I suppose he doesn't count.Our defense is a problem, and not the good kind of problem. 200 yards rushing in back to back conference games. Receivers and put returners with the yips. If they thought Starkville was crazy just wait until we play the teams that really don’t like us on the road. These paid athletes need to stop pissing their pants and make the routine plays. Aguilar and Brazzell were about the only offensive players that showed up. The DL, Carter, and Hood show up on defense but the rest are completely clueless. You need all 22 fighting like there is no tomorrow. Can’t have only half the team playing like that and expect them to pick up the slack. Kudos to Aguilar for having that dog in him. If we had Nico we would probably be 2-3 with this defense.

We also had several receiver drops, one that turned into an interception, another muffed punt, and a dropped TD pass, a missed FG, a receiver missed a block in the red zone that would have scored on a swing pass. You factor all that in and we likely win by three scores with the bogus PI call. People want to complain about the clock management but it’s the routine plays throughout the game that really caused this to go to OT. We outplayed them and the better team won fortunately but it’s the little things that add up and causes you to lose.There was a lot of suspicious calls by the officials. One even had a Vols TD called back.
