    1 Gonna get this out of the way first - GET DYLAN SAMPSON THE DAMN FOOTBALL!

    2 First half was the best we’ve looked this year.

    3 When Milton is on, he’s fun to watch perform. That TD pass to Keaton was an absolute dime. He should have had another before the half.

    4 That said, those first 2 drives on the second half were awful.

    5 That said, he’s not the biggest problem. That is still the o line. I don’t know why they are so bad but if it doesn’t improve we’re about to be in trouble.

    6 I really hope that the injuries were caution over actual injury.

    7 Do our DBs ever tackle in practice?

    8 Another game and another mind blowing stupid play on special teams.

    9 I was bummed Harris didn’t play for UTSA. I really wanted to see him in person.

    10 I’d love to know how much Colorado gear got thrown away and burned this afternoon.

    Bonus - I’m worried about next week. I don’t trust either side of the ball at all.

    Good points. Four games in, and I think this is a 7-5 team, 8-4 tops if we're lucky. Need a new DC and secondary coach next year for sure.

    Next week feels like the turning point. One way or the other. Find a way to win and we could go 9-3. Lose and I think we’re looking at a 7-5 or 6-6. I think we’ll lose. Defense and O-line stink and Joe is Joe.

    South Carolina is not some world beater y’all. They’re in a dogfight at home with Cowbell U

    Yeah but are we going to score 40 on them? Cause we are gonna need to.

    I really don’t think so. Beamer Ball Jr has produced one quality true road performance in his entire run to this point.

    He will eat this defense alive. Well have to be near perfect offensively.

    North Carolina’s defense is featured on packs of Charmin. They gave up 17.

    To be fair it was their first game under a new OC. The only was I see us stopping Rattler is if he stops himself. Can beat you on the ground or the air. Their shitty oline has been decent tonight. We have to bring him down and take good angles when rushing him. There will be opportunities for sacks but those could easily turn into 15+ yard gains if we don't contain.

    -we don’t take to the ground in practice right now
    -with all the dink and dunk being thrown at us, our dl has to bat some balls. We must be last in D1 in DL batted ballsz

    How common is it not to take to the ground in practice? Seems like we may want to rethink that and at least have a couple of live fire sessions.

    I'm going to hell because that is the only thing I am watching for.

    Watching South Carolina/MSU, and Milton is going to have an open deep ball about 75,000 times next week. Gonna have to connect on more of them than he did tonight, because I have no faith in us to stop Rattler.

    We sure as shit can be spending a quarter of our pass plays on the screens. Got to attack them down field.

    That’s going to be a pick 6 at some point in SEC play if we keep doing it as frequently as we do.

    Rattler can do nothing but throw at Hadden every time next week and probably beat us.

    I'm on vacation next weekend, and it's probably for the best. I can read about the 3 TD loss instead of having to watch it.
