I mean yeah you still don't want your defense to give an inch to an FCS squad, but when you cough up the ball on your side of the field you make things tough on your defense. Don't think that's somehow controversial. E: woops anyway! (they rank 15th if you're wondering) the point is that saying but Lamar! is silly and don't do it.

If we lose though, 50/50 we drop out of the top 25 based on our resume thus far-- next week it's feast or famine.

I saw this live and it was hilarious, but this angle is so much better. He just...what? quote:Our offense is absolutely putrid. Our play calling is garbage and the QB situation is dire. We have no run game to speak of and nothing happening in the air either because Mauk can't throw and the receivers can't catch. Pinkel is a loving blockhead that refuses to use Lock more than 1 or two drives a game. Good way to burn a redshirt! This is what Pinkel does for better or worse, he likes to give QBs some game action without intending to play them that year. In the past it's been dumb because burning redshirts for no reason is bad. Now it's bad because the guy might be the better QB. Either way it doesn't look like the offense is going to be working this year. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Sep 20, 2015 |

It's entirely possible Baylor beats them even if our defense is putrid, that defense has still looked mediocre at best, but their offense is good enough that if Baylor's defense holds them to under 30 that I'll be feeling pretty good about them. We get a repeat of last year's peformance, and opposing offenses will still get the benefit of the doubt. A team can be bad (and I'm not sure that Tech is bad) and still good enough on one side of the ball to be a good test.

Anyone claiming a winner of the SEC West this early is silly. I'm more inclined to believe that it'll be between 2-3 teams at the end & they'll have to go to the tie-breaker scenarios in the conference rulebook. Though, begrudgingly, I'll admit that Ole Miss looks the best right now.

I went to a game Friday night. There was a white RB named Kentucky Couns(pronounced "Coons"). He wasn't good and that wasn't even close to a hillbilly school but it's still southwest Virginia so I guess that occasionally happens. Also he wasn't good or it would have been way funnier.

If they weren't once again handed the most Charmin-soft schedule possible by the SEC higher ups, I'd say we could safely ignore them, but alas. I swear, I think they play Vandy twice this year. I'm glad we don't because then we'd lose to Vandy twice in a season.

What really gets me about the offense is they pretty much looked like this last year too. I don't know what they did in the offseason but whatever it was didn't work.

Iowa beats Pitt with an (admittedly impressive) 57 yard field goal that shouldn't have been necessary and now our moron fans are talking like we're a team of destiny. Still can't jam a receiver at the line, can't turn the corner on a run to the outside, can't manage the clock worth a drat, still get out-recruited by every team we supposedly compete with, still stuck with a milquetoast chickenshit coach. Not to mention we still let the team and the athletic department distract us with feel good stuff and pretend that's a valid justification for spending hundreds of dollars every weekend on a team with no accountability. I'm as happy as anyone that we're 3-0 but gently caress let's dial it back. That said, lol sad endzone Pitt player.

Shappa posted:That coaches poll is garbage. "Pre-season rankings are a hell of a drug" Wasn't there a big story a few years ago where the coaches responsible for the poll hardly watch more than highlights of the games (if that) and rely on hearsay and reputation? AP is a far better indicator since (presumably) they can actually watch the games and aren't, you know, coaching their team while the other games are going on.

I mean, the coaches poll matters even less now than it ever did, but it's still supremely silly seeing Auburn ranked immediately over WVU in terms of votes received. WVU hasn't done anything incredible yet, sure, but a shutout of Georgia Southern is leaps and bounds better than anything at all on Auburn's resume right now.

Well, Georgia finally avenged 2012. It's time to stop keeping our talented freshmen on the bench and just let them go play. It'll be better for us in the long run if they do and we have absolutely nothing to lose at this point. Lorenzo Nunez looked pretty good, all things considered, so I'd like to see him get the majority of snaps at QB going forward. I predicted a 5-7 season after the way 2014 went, but man, it is still not any fun at all to sit through. Our three-year run of 11-win seasons feels like a decade ago.
