On offense is just as predictable as Butches. Run, run, pass. We're playing like we have the lead. Tennessee does not have a product worth watching. I fear recruiting will go out the window and we may never catch up sy this point.

Punt the ball!

Let's on-side kick it in the first half of the game! Because that made a whole lot of sense!

I was okay with the onside kick. It was 1v3 for the ball and the UF player wanted it more. If we would have recovered it you would praising him for a great call

Our oline was whipped the entire game. When our online starts doing the whipping the play calling will look better.

Helton may be limited by the O line, but he’s still not up to par. Guarantano is getting abused and the RBs are getting yards on their own. The O line needs some “extra attention”. The kind that will make about half of them quit and move on. They’re not doing ya any favors here.

Someone on the oline should have whipped the FL player that “inadvertently” rolled into JG’s knee. One oline guy was right there and did nothing. That FL guy knew EXACTLY what he was doing and then did the whole hands up in the air innocent look. And the ref bought it.

I wouldn’t say the play calling is bad, it’s actually pretty sound in theory, if we can get 2-3 yards on the first and second then third down you can do a number of things.

The problem is this oline sucks, they get no push and can’t seem to hild a block longer than half a second. Sadly we won’t see any real changes in play calling until the oline gets better

A retaliatory shot to the lower leg would have been appropriate. More nasty needed.

Hello! These players SUCK. These players are worse than D2 players. I pulled myself back multiple times from driving to Tuscaloosa to hunt down Butch and give him a brick or two.

Turnovers lost this game, not play calling. D eventually wore out for playing whole game.

The play calling was horrific. I don't disagree about the line, but running straight up the middle over and over and over was insane. The few quick slants worked. The few toss sweeps worked. The inside runs didn't.

Again, why you guys are assuming that our players could actually EXECUTE anything more than what they are already given is beyond me. It could be we arent calling other plays because we cant get our players to even execute on these more simplistic ones.

Dude. It didn't have to be run, run, pass. We could have passed more regardless and mixed it up. At least pass, run, run lulz

Chandler needed some sweeps. It was all middle and off Smiths hip

If a marginal UF can post 40+ on us, what will top 10 Bamer, UGA, and Aburn paste on us?

Play calling isn't up to par IMO. There are times I wonder if Helton understands he has an OL that is terrible. Needs to mix up runs and passes vice the 2 runs and a throw, in that order. While technically he put 20 points on an SEC team, that last TD felt like it happened in garbage time. He needs to up his game, like using the passing game more within the limits of the OL.

The "offense" cost us today, a lot. OL gets JG hammered for a turnover, then an INT, fumble on the second half kickoff and a safety for, what, 23 points? Let's throw in Pope's fumble in the end zone for the heck of it. I know the D has its own issues, but damn, what can it do when the O turns it over on a short field. Right now I'd take the offensive staff to the woodshed, that was an embarrassing performance.
