With Ohio coming up before the big one against Florida, what do you think are the issues that need to be addressed over the next couple of weeks? I'll throw a couple out there:
1. O-line still a problem, particularly in pass protection.
2. Utilizing the middle of the field in the passing game
3. Who replaces Kirkland Jr. If he misses a significant amount of time.

These three alone would go a long way. Defense needs to stop starting so slowly.

Need to put Dylan Weisman at center rest of year. Jack Jones needs to start rest of year. Coleman Thomas never needs to see field again

Fixing #1 would help #2.

Coaches, players gameplan...something needs to change in 1st quarter

find ways to get playmakers the ball....5 completions to WRs

Get Kamara involved early and often. Fils-Amie had more carries the Alvin

Consistency... everywhere

Sustaining drives. Longest drive tonight was 3:22 and was a punt

The offensive line played marginally better as the game went on. The better teams in the SEC will own them if they don't improve.

1st quarter effort

waiting for the runner vs attacking them before they get 5+ yards

tackling

predictability

taking more deep shots

taking more medium shots

Kamara and PWilly involvement

It all starts with the O-line. Can't open up the playbook until there is some consistent protection.

After feeling the game was in hand, I started zeroing in on D. Richmond when he was playing since the announcers seemed to be zeroing in on him. In pass protection, DR never backs up. He either gets beat to either side because he isn't quick enough or simply isn't aware of what to do or even at times will lunge forward. Pass protection requires blocking while back pedaling. This is how to keep the D from getting around you. At times, he would go to his left, but if anyone goes inside of him, he was toast. He was actually toast on the outside as well. I can't believe UT coaches didn't notice this during spring or summer practice. DR may end up being great, but he needs some fundamentals. For some reason, he looks very slow.

1.) Our offensive line is not very good.
2.) WTF happened to Coleman Thomas? He needs to play better or sit his azz on the bench.
3.) When the opposing defense only rushes 3 players, our O-line needs to be able to give the QB time to pass.
4.) Our O-line needs to get better.
5.) Aside from Coleman Thomas struggling, everyone else on our O-line needs to play better.
6.) We need some sort of voodoo to prevent opposing kickers from avoiding Evan Berry.

I think that about covers it.

The Oline will crash this season if they can't find a way to get their act together before Florida. The other things are correctable, but the Oline really has me worried. We all assumed Roberson would be our best In 2016, but he's struggling. Not as bad as Thomas, but not a ton better.

It's mostly Richmond though after the fix they put on.

He looks consistently off balance. Dangerous blind side for Dobbs.
