can’t remember a more lethargic half of football … looks like we were moving in sand on both sides of the ball 

Just pathetic “effort” on D

we must of had a great week at practice 

hope he can shoot

It’s a very difficult decision and I think it comes down to the Iron Bowl. Thorne doesn’t have be amazing but he has to look better than the first half of the season, when he wasn’t put in a good position. 

If nothing else, it’s nice to know we at least have an average QB. If we could get ann elite WR out of the portal, it would make a huge difference. 

I posted a while back that AU fans will love Thorne against teams like Samford, Vandy & a beat down Arkansas but would hate him against real competition … will stand by that … he’ll probably look like Mahomes v. NMSU … he’ll be Waldo v. bama

Wait a sec, they gave up today just 7 days after beating Florida at Ben Griffith for the first time ever?

FLA has given up in their coach as well … at least for this year any way 

will take a road SEC win when we can get it … with that said … Arky players have given up on their coach … their “effort” was terrible today 

wow … just wow … Thorne has looked OK v. Vandy, Mississippi St. & an Arky team that has given up on their coach … dude is not an elite SEC QB … very. VERY, average 

snakebit 

we have one “live route” in every pass play … just terrible 

the play calling is completely abysmal 

for those talking about lack of passing game … the game plans have been f’n horrible … you can scheme around some of the issues we have … some of the easiest fixes are 1) throw the ball in the middle of the field 2) use drags &/or delay routes near the line of scrimmage 3) for the love please … PLEASE … can we get a coach that has more than one live route on a pass attempt … I realize that we probably can’t block long enough to do check downs BUT we have QB’s looking at one receiver through Malzahn, Harsin & now Freeze … completely absurd

That’s one of the worst review decisions I’ve ever witnessed. Shameful. 

gotta keep Ole Mrs. at only 1 loss … good for the conference 

serious question … I realize that we are deficient in talent BUT has anyone seen anything with this staff that makes you excited about the future?

What I have a lot of trouble understanding is how we cannot simply scheme our way into some completions. I’m having a hard time with that. 

you can but obviously Freeze & Montgomery are too f’n ignorant to have a better game plan … the middle of the field ia always, ALWAYS, open in the college game 

we’ve got 26 yards passing … this is absurd … completely unacceptable

Ole Payton not diving for that 4th & 5 marker was probably huge in Freezeland. I said it in August and repeat it now, he has (had) until the Mississippi games to maintain his starter presumption. Thorne's confirmed he aint got NOTHIN Holder Geriner aint got, except less eligibility. 

said it week 1 & got blasted … Thorne can’t play … Ashford isn’t great BUT gives us the best chance to compete

sad but looks like this team has given up

said it week 1 & got blasted but … Thorne can’t play … dude is terrible … agree with the post above … stop with the rotation … Ashford can’t be effective as a runner without the threat of him passing 

throughly unimpressed with the OC … absolutely horrible play calling 

optimistic 38-13 … pessimistic 52-6

the O line was terrible in pass block yesterday … TAMU exploited it … when RA came in they didn’t rush from the corners & their D line just held ground … that’s good coaching 

PT will look incredible against the Samford’s but IMO can’t handle SEC competition 

with all that said you can offset the rush with better play-calling … 12 yd routes are worthless when you have less than 3 seconds to throw … run a few TE delays or maybe a WR drag on about 5 yd routes in the middle of the field 

im thoroughly unimpressed with Montgomery so far … I do realize that we’re not loaded with talent but I believe a better game plan would help 

should be Ashford but probably won’t be … I imagine PT will start

i know that most will disagree but RA gives us the best shot to win each week

i said it after the first game & got blasted BUT Thorne is very, VERY average 

can’t rush the passer & can’t block the rush … bad combination 

plus play calling isn’t helping … can’t run 12 yd routes when you can’t block … need to park someone in the middle of the field in about a 5 yd route 

put in Ashford … at least he can run … will slow down some of that rush cause the O line cannot pass block 

this team looks completely ill prepared for this game
