Football question

[Eielson]

Its sad were winning games despite our coaches.. I think BA was still terrible. XRob needs 20+ touches a game (we havent lost a game in conference when he gets more than 10). And the run game has little diversity to it. I think we went outside 1 time that I can remember and we immediately got 8 yards..

The first half was rough, but I don't see how you can complain about last night given we ended on 5 straight scoring drives if not for turnovers. And both of those turnovers, even if one was a poor decision by the QB, should have been negated by penalty. Neither were playcalling issues. We moved the ball REALLY well in the second half given that we weren't more talented.

We ran 32 times and passed 32 times. X got 16 of 17 carries (despite the fumble), so we fed him plenty. Cranking his carries up to 32 would not double his yardage.

Outside of our front 4 on defense, we rarely have a dramatic advantage talent-wise over our opponents with this brutal schedule, including last night. We are often at a significant talent deficit for positions including TE and WR.

For those citing Teddy and Gabe during the losses. Quote some of the positives today.

Absolutely love that guy. He reminds me of a smaller version of Rocky Calmus, the way he flies around seeking contact.

Almost home. Gonna have a cigar and Angel's Envy on the patio and watch the podcast. Interested to hear their takes.

I suspect their analysis doesn't get plagiarized here the way it does after a loss.

Have you done the angels envy tour at their Louisville distillery? It’s really cool and a bourbon tasting at the end.

Our safeties, our lb as a whole, even corners are up there.
Selling our talent short…. Front 4 only doesn’t get you a top 10 def.

We have young talent at that. A huge chance to return a ton!

Arbuckle's playcalling has nothing to do with X getting punched in the face and then fumbling.

Our secondary is not above average in the SEC. When it comes to WR/CB matchups, we're losing ground to almost every team, even teams toward the bottom like Auburn.

And yes, elite pass rush can absolutely save a secondary. When Aguilar had time to throw early, he cut through the secondary like butter. It wasn't until we got pressure that he struggled.
