Popular Post cbo 8,113 Posted November 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2021 D played lights out today against a strong opponent, on the road. Everyone wanted the second half D to show up at the beginning of the game. We got it today. As frustrated as you might be, imagine how they must feel. Let's see if we can have one thread where we praise, discuss, analyze the D, without getting into the other stuff. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; it feels like the last couple seasons all over again. The D plays more than good enough to win, the O just can’t get it done. Very frustrating, I just don’t get it. I guess, it just comes down to a average to slightly below average O line and as CBS announcers were saying, our receivers can be good but they are simply not home run, game breakers. Bo is our best option at the current time but he is no Johnny Manziel! Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss are down to back up, walk-on, wide receivers and they look better than ours. Other national powers have two or three second string O Linemen in the game because of injuries etc. and they look better than our starting O line. Texas A&M playing their back up QB, he looks better than our starting QB. I just don’t get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TE’s are the most consistent thing on offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point with the TE’s. I’m not trying to be total “Debbie Downer” after a tough loss, but our TE’s and RB’s need to do a better job of picking up blitzes. Especially when our opponent has 6 to 8 guys in the box on second and third and long. I still agree, the TE position is probably the most consistent!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,841 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I give them a ton of praise for not just being folded like vs UGA when things clearly looked morose on the other side. You can probably attribute that to having more bodies, playing a lesser opponent, etc etc, but they still fought. They also were able to play more press coverage, play more physical, and didn't explicitly cost us the game because of it. Only bust I can remember was in the late 3rd where the wind was starting to go out of our sails, and they made up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,841 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 It's really really a shame that we've seemingly wasted another top tier LB combo ala 2017 and 2019 I think all of those guys except Pappoe are gone right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,282 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Definitely props to the defense, they gave up 4 FGs, 0 TDs and that is an outstanding job. It will usually result in a W in most SEC games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle 3,932 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Our defense especially DB’s showed out today. Only allowed 12 points against a big time OL and 2 big time RB’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCTAU 3,366 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The stats look good and I was glad to see the D step up. However, aTm played horrible on offense the first half. Much of that was on them. Our D had a typical great second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82be 14,575 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I know Harsin has said before that there are no Players of the Game when we lose and I get it but he should make the exception here and give it to the defense as a unit. Played more than well enough to win the game. Yes Bird, Tennison played a great game. Based on yesterday's play you were definitely wise to give up Smoke-ing.
