Potatooooooes!! 1,375 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well...I'm going to try and be as positive as possible. I have very little faith in gutless, nutless Gus at the point. Our line backers look as lost as ever. Sean White did great, but he was basically a game manager so...Arkansas will get at least one SEC win this year. Peyton Barber is basically the second coming of Tre Mason. Guy knew what he was talking about. All in all, our offensive line consistently takes a full half to get warmed up and our d-line looks like it would get pushed around by Girl Scouts. That and no one can shed blocks, though there did seem to be some improvement in that area. I feel like I'm used to us sucking at this point. Basically, I feel like a Vanderbilt fan. WDE You should go be one for a while and see what that is like. I am going to choose to wait to lose faith in "gutless, nutless Gus" until the season has played out. Of course I wanted him to go for it but assuming Carlson makes a chip shot field goal the game would have been over. I think it might be less gutless to make decisions based on what the peanut gallery wants. He is trying to win games. Not an ideal situation but if they can get the W against Kentucky we could still salvage a decent season. Let's see what he comes up with over the bye. WDE Yeah, except I cannot fathom a reason to not go for it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like common sense to me to go for it. He didnt go for it to send a message to the offense and offensive line- you cant get a first down on 1st-3rd downs you dont deserve another shot on fourth. No offense, but that's just stupid. We're not in a position to do that, and I've never heard of a coach doing that. We had trouble stopping them all game long, and you're telling me that Gus felt that that was the perfect time to send a message to his team? I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything about football, but....really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty straightforward. ^This I was watching on tv and they showed CGM on the sideline when he sent out the fg unit and he said, kick the fg and go up by 17. That was his thought process or at least that is what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_bsci_04 407 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Not sure if already posted but obviously dissent between Gus and Rhett going on. After SW missed Louis in the end zone (when RL stopped on his route) Gus jumped Rhett's ass. Rhett was yelling back at Gus indicating it was SWs fault. SW went back up to Rhett after getting yelled at and apologized. Rhett spent the rest of the game in isolation. DC was the one meeting with the O the majority of the time and with Gus as well. After that point, I think Gud started getting involved in play calling. We went with less subs and more tempo during that time, but we also still stalled in the red zone in the 4th as well.

Arguments between coaches on the sidelines is common in football....college and professional. We see that stuff all the time with NS badgering his DC and OC when something bad happens....so I don't read anything much into it. Not to say I like the play calling, but I doubt that the differences of opinion are the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like that happens. However, it's even more reason for Gus just to take over the offense if he's not doing so already. We hired the professor....not his student.

It looked like Rhett quit after that and DC was assuming the role. I sat right behind the bench and watched the whole game. It was a completely different feel after that.

augolf1716 21,202 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Start whoever you want, the end result isn't going to change much. We're going to have to upset Kentucky for a 5th win. A 6th win is damn near impossible. I literally can't fathom the amount of change it'd take for us to beat any of the good teams we have scheduled Arky, Ole Miss, Bama, TX A&M, UGA....anybody see a win in that group. Lord help us! Nope not even close except maybe Arky and that's a big maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_bsci_04 407 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 To be honest, I felt the same way about Duke. DC was earning his pay on the sidelines just keeping him interested.

Gus still thinks field goal. I thought maybe he had learned his lesson after the State game. We won't beat any SEC team with field goals especially with our defense giving up sevens. If we can't make 1/2 yard in two plays we don't deserve to beat anyone. (QB under center or KJ wildcat. Pretty simple.) I'd be embarrassed as a coach to have so little confidence in my team. Playing not to lose is also the best way to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
