    1. Don't play it safe heading into the half. You stole points at Auburn, you lost points tonight

    2. JG, on 4th down, let it fly.

    3. The loss of Trey Smith didn't really hurt the oline

    4. There are 5 functional defensive linemen on the roster right now. 4 are graduating.

    5. JJ Peterson and Jeremy Banks need to pan out at linebacker

    This one is on the defense.

    Meh. Wanted a win for posturing and bowl but I understand it. South Carolina is most certainly more talented on the lines and on defense. And they actually lifted weights/conditioned over the last few seasons

    Bad clock management at the end of both halves.

    I don't see how it was mismanaged in the 4th quarter

    Helton being a dumbass with wildcat calls was bad.

    SEC officiating is the worst in mainstream American sports.

    The PI was unbelievable. How that can be called is ridiculous.

    We let forever run off of the clock somewhere in between 1:45 and 1:15.

    Watching DL getting shoved to where their backs are to the ballcarrier is getting old.

    Will we finally see Chryst?

    Also, some of the coaches here can correct me if I’m wrong, but I didn’t feel like we did a good job of setting the edge on defense in the 2nd half.

    I really hated it on 3rd and 4th down on the final drive. I’d rather see at least a field goal attempt in the bag or we are running out our own clock instead of the opponent’s. There seemed to be no sense of urgency on the final two offensive plays. Just shit and a ticking clock.

    Are coaches allowed to challenge plays anymore or is it all done by the replay booth? Not sure why Pruitt wouldn’t challenge that fumble on the goal line if he could.

    The defense was beat from birth, bunch of scrubs minus some freshman.

    30 seconds and the ball on your 40 with a timeout in your pocket, and you kneel to go to half? Acting like he’s got a dominant defense or something lol.

    I guess SEC basketball *is* kind of a niche.

    No. The defense and officiating cost us this one (and the penalties)

    If the replay refs weren’t going to stop play on their own, they wouldn’t have overturned on a coach’s challenge.
