On the flip side though, we've also played against 4 of the top 17 SP+ defenses in the country (Texas, Michigan, Auburn, SCar). Ole Miss is certainly a step down from that, so while it is fair to have criticism of our offense, they've also been going against stiffer competition and started to...

Super happy to see the non-QB run game show signs of life. Mateer had a B- game and we beat an SEC team by 3 scores on the road. I’ll take it. Hopefully as we get further removed from the surgery Mateer starts getting some more confidence in his hand. He seemed a little sharper mentally today...

Uh.. Arbuckle IS an air raid guy. His whole background is the air raid and he has small town Texas roots which is prime air raid country. Sure he’s got some evolutions off of that but his base is absolutely pure air raid and it concerned a lot of people when he was hired. That said, I am a fan...

Also, if any of you follow Kegan Reneau on X/Twitter, he does a really good job of actually breaking down the games. I think he showed that Mateer missed a lot of open stuff Saturday and we actually had a lot of opportunities to punish Texas had he been mentally sharp.

Not to nitpick you here - because I more or less agree with a lot of your statement - but I actually don't think that "missed" block was on Ott. Burks needed to push that outside and instead he cut in. If you look at how Ott had positioned himself he had leverage on the outside of the defender...

I’m assuming he’s speaking about Everett and Sexton. Everyone else from my understanding should be available and assuming that’s the case, the OL should be just fine this weekend. We gotta remember this Auburn team got torched by Baylor. Sawyer Robertson threw for 419 yards and 4 TDs. I’ll be...

I am a member on the TFB (the football brainiacs) donor site. I personally like their info and feel like they shoot it pretty straight from their vantage point. They can get a little bit of tunnel vision on stuff but I’ve always felt like they present things as they are. I generally don’t engage...

Sucks for UNF but also feels like a weird move when Tang seems like his seat is pretty warm in the little apple.

Tanking is not what has hurt the league. It's the quality of play, the obnoxious amount of foul calls, the flopping and flailing from the players, and the complaining. Catering everything to the star players at the expense of the quality of the game itself is not a good way to operate. Not...

There might be an argument, though, that had we played that schedule and gone 6-5 we would've been better prepared and therefore performed better in conference. I get this is all a theoretical argument, but part of our struggles in conference - in my opinion - is the shellshock from the jump in...

It seems like you don’t believe in advanced analytics in sports, which is fine. But allow me to explain why the stat I shared is more valuable (and different) than just a pure plus/minus statistic. Plus/minus is just the cumulative that the team does while the player is on the floor. So if the...

You conveniently did not respond to my last message about their stats, but breaking things down to a simplified per-minute production fails to look at a lot of things. The overwhelming majority of the advanced stats favor Wague for the entirety of the season with an on/off net rating...

Man, I'd love to believe we are capable of a top 5 SEC finish but I just don't see it. This team is much more talented/deeper than last year's team. But this team also will not have a lottery pick on it. Not to mention, the SEC is still going to be ridiculous next year even if it isn't as good...

That may all be true, but you can present stats in a way that may not depict the full picture. For example: Wague was better than Godwin in eFG% (72.3% vs 59.3%), Offensive Rebound % (19.2% vs 15.9%), Free Throw % (65.4% vs 56.3%), Assist % (10.9% vs 8.1%), and Steal % (4.2% vs 2.7%). In all of...

My untrained eye would agree with this. However, I'd say he's probably a little less athletic than Otega with a better looking shot
