    266 rushing yards. 5.6 yards a carry. 3 TD's. An unstoppable 160-yard running back. Won the time of possession. Dominated the line of scrimmage. How would you describe a well-executed power run game?

    Did you mean when I present things in such a unitary way it tarnished my credibility? WTF are you talking about? Did you notice that I made numbered lists of Good, Bad and Ugly things in post one!

    Does this apply to you as well? You do know that it is OK to actually appreciate the coach?

    All that's true yet the second half was mostly a series of 3 and outs that kept our defense on the field for far too long. All most of us are saying is mix it up and throw a play action pass now and then on first or second down to keep the opposing defenses honest.

    Here
    Red, I think your accurate and credible analysis that started this thread was spot on. Good list of good, bad, and ugly. My biggest concern is the #1 bad item - Dak made DBU look naked in the 2 drives at the end. I think the penalties were first games things that can be fixed, and I think they'll expand the play calling with experience, but we have a week to fix the pass defense or it's will be a long night in TS.

    Marching down the field when it matters, draining the clock breaking your opponent's spirit. I think I found no LSU drive over 4min in the second half. I wouldn't define our offense in the second half as unstoppable; it was stoppable on all but 1 drive.

    binary = black & white
    I used credulity incorrectly, meant credibility.

    Yes, I love the gb&u, but I find it too dismissive of Miles' faults. And you're right about flipping it on me, I am very critical of Miles. I'll give him credit for winning and recruiting, but this offense is more of what we've come to expect under miles. Poop.

    How long ago was that? My point was that most coaches have learned by now that the only thing it does is give the kicking team a practice kick. It's asinine that anyone continues to use it as a strategy.

    Respectfully disagree with you here. There will always be 2nd guessing, but I don't think there would have been an uproar of criticism if he doesn't burn a time out. The uproar would have happened had State's kicker made the 2nd kick.

    Harris probably isn't ready to be asked to throw 30 to 40 times a game. If he does it means we are behind and trying to play catchup. But Harris should be passing 20-25 times a game. It would take a lot of pressure off LF7 if he completed a few safe passes to move the chains and it would force the defenses to back out of the stacked box. If that had happened last night our defense wouldn't have been so ragged and probably would have kept Dak from totally dominating the half.

    I read a good analysis about whether coaches should call TO to ice the kicker. When a kicker enters the game with the clock running down he is rushed to get everything right and especially a college kicker is more likely to rush his kick or shank it. A time out allows the kicker to collect his bearings and concentrate on the task at hand.

    Exactly. It's actually doing #7 a disservice by having him run into 9 man fronts all of the time, without at least trying to keep the D honest. Loosen the D and actually give the man some running lanes.

    You cannot, wait no you actually can be this stupid.

    Show me anywhere from anyone saying that 7 should never get the ball or that he should have went to bama? You can't because you blow this ridiculous drivel right out of your ass you fucking inbred.

    13 or was it 14 passes. For a game! That is a decent number for a half but a game!

    You have to be the biggest fucking tard to ever post here
