    This is 100% a coaching issue. the players have to execute and the coach's job is to prepare them for that. Their heads were not in the UF game. They were slapped around by a motivated UF team. This is supposed to be the biggest strength of Orgeron.

    My two biggest concerns with Orgeron's actions this past season are the way the team played versus Florida and he allowed LF7 to dress out for that game.

    We would have beat him this year with an offense. We're not as far back as Miles made us believe.

    Only if that offense included a much better OL.

    We're the only SEC team to be shut out by Bama, I don't believe our OL is bottom of the barrel in the SEC. I think the moment was too big for Ensminger .

    At least he knows the offense was a problem unlike the previous HC. That at least gives us a chance to improve. Like ive said, I'm cautiously optimistic .

    Our OL was thoroughly dominated from start to finish!

    Yeah its a former TE's coach thrown into an OC's position's fault our OL was as you say "thoroughly dominated". Alabama's OL was "thoroughly dominated" for most of the game by us, should Kiffin be fired? Works both ways Twisted.

    Just asking do we have the worst OL in the SEC or do we have residuals from Miles still holding us back. I think it's the latter.

    Who mentioned firing anyone over the Bama game? He was saying we win with a better offense im saying only if the line is better. Are you drinking already?

    We had a 6 foot 5 346 pound man beast get pancaked over and over against Alabama by a converted running back in that game. It was sad to watch. You're 100 percent correct.
