DCWarEagle 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Well, we played a good quarter and a half. The end of the second quarter and the entire third quarter were brutal. Our D held up for a while. Hopefully we can regroup and take care of Ole Miss. They gave the Pigs a good game today. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banditmwp 709 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 We didn't do anything too terrible outside of too many PF penalties...we just got our asses handed to us by the top team in the land. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle007 1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The only reason a loss like this sucks as bad as it does is because we've seen such enormous success throughout the history of this program that this just doesn't happen. So, let's be grateful that this is a rare feeling for us, War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,345 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Last time we lost this bad was to bama in 2008 if I'm not mistaken. At least back then we might have had a legitimate excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need excuses. We were outplayed by better athletes today. But once these guys grow up a bit we aren't likely to be outplayed much in the next two years. We lost to the #1 team in the country and guess what, every other team in the country is likely to lose to them as well, hence the #1 ranking. Calm down a bit.

Did we have more starters injured and fewer upperclassmen in 2008? I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw 4 au 526 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I can't just put it on lack of experience or uppercalssmen. I thought we go outcoached a bit too. We know what we have by now, and it seems we are still trying to do certain things we are not capable of doing. For a time there, I thought they were reading our offensive play calling (maybe those cards and numbers). Certainly not th reason we lost, buon the pick six, that guy faked in then ran straight to the pass. We had this issue for a period last year, didn't we?

I expected a loss, but not one that bad I don't know about continuing to stink it up, But I think it would have been a different game. A 10-7 type score at halftime would have been manageable. Like we've said, the penalties set the defense on their heels, then coverage broke down. Probably still get beat, just not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think coaching schemes had much to do with today. We just got beat by a deeper, stronger more experienced team on the road. It's easy to look like you know the plays when you're winning the battle at the line of scrimmage against our inexperienced offensive line. Nothing to do but suck it up, learn from it and get better so next year it's our turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vatz22au 142 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Not sure about the rest of you but I didn't expect to get blown out of the water like we did. Missed blocks on the line definitely hurt us. One that comes to mind is in the first half when Moseley ran a play action and one of the linemen was supposed to swing around and pick up the block from the other side... totally missed the guy. The penalties didn't help either. I did think we would lose.. but this is just a poor performance all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtftiger 40 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I don't mean to say that we have no other issues, but I do believe that our biggest issue is still youth. Young teams are inconsistent. That goes for offensive line groups, defensive line groups, and everyone. It's one reason why things seem to just fall apart when we play better teams.

musicitytiger 281 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah, nothing but love for our players. Sometimes $*** happens, it's what you do from here that defines you. Keep your heads up, gather your swagger back, and give it your all this week...................sometimes that's all we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDub 106 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I think we just got beat by the eventual national champion today. Our best case scenario from here is 9-3. I think this is still possible. Any game besides the Iron Bowl is definitely doable from here on out, and even the updykes have shown some weaknesses tonight. Our team can go nowhere but up from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,466 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The reason we got hit so hard on some kickoff returns was because guys that had a chance to block somebody failed to do so. They just sort of flagged at tacklers as they stormed past. Couldn't help but compare Ole Miss' play calling with ours, with the games coming back to back on TV. Ours was rather pathetic, and it isn't all the opponent. If you must, go back and look at our offense last week vs Arky and OM's vs Arky today. Right now, our offense is way behind the offense of the team (Ole Miss) everybody considers to be the SEC doormat this year. We're worse now than we were opening day. You would expect a "young team" to get better as the season progresses. Our defense has steadily improved, but the offense continues to go backward.
