This is disappointing tonight. Seems like a totally uninspired performance up to this point. We had better be up for Bama.
The offense is playing to limit turnovers & penalties - keeping things simple but effective. The offense's job is to put enough points on the board to win the game. I, just like everyone else, can get frustrated when we go to this bland type of offense, but it isn't necessarily a fault of Jimbo or Miles'. It's a philosophy held by a lot of successful teams & coaches.
We're at 1 of 4 for 3rd down conversion efficiency. This explains the lack of points. We've had a lot of nice plays that go 20 yards here, 20 yards there, but those mean nothing if we can't sustain them & convert on those 3rd downs. Not being able to see the game, I can't say for sure why we haven't converted them. Bland playcalling is a strong possability, but doubtfully the only culrpit.
I'll say this... this is no way to convince the pollsters we are gonna run over Bama. It's no way to "warm up for Bama" either.
