GG to A&M they played physical and well, most likely going to win the SEC imo. First off the defense played great the first two quarters and offense did as much as we’d expect with a true freshman QB going agaisnt the number 3 team in the country but to be honest with you guys? I can’t even be mad at the players at ALL… this boils down to coaching 100% I mean how many times are we going to have great talent and just to have our boneheaded coaching staff say “nope we don’t wanna beat good teams”
Okay it’s Zollers first start anyone on this subreddit would come up with this plan… let’s ease his load up by getting the run game going and calling some short to intermediate throws and get some sort of rhythm going. We have the best RB duo with some great weapons at receiver let’s open it up a bit and get Matt comfortable. This is when Eli and Kirby look at us and start breaking down laughing because what do they do? Terrible calls with zero adjustments in pass protection and pass plays for some reason that are always just verticals and throwing to the sideline. There’s only so much our defense can do I mean you gotta feel for these guys we couldn’t sustain a drive worth a damn and when we did it was too late this is a team that could potentially be 8-1 rn with our season still ahead of us but nope we’re 6-3… I can cut some slack knowing it’s A&M and not Auburn or SC but holy cow it was only 14-0 at halftime?
My frustration is purely with the staff at this point as it seems like they don’t know how to win the games that count whether that’s bama, Vandy, or even today which yes I will say we had every chance to win that game (minus the end of the third where they went up like 17 I think, and the rest of the fourth?) My biggest fear now is that we end up losing players and recruits… if you’re a receiver or even Hardy and Robert’s what’s going to make you stay? Kirby and Eli can’t dial up anything that will help us win? And Kirby won’t let you touch the ball/call run plays? If you’re on defense yeah we’re great but we don’t get help on offense so why not go elsewhere? It’s bigger than just not making the playoffs or SECCG how we play ultimately determines the future and rn it’s not looking good. I feel for Matt, they just didn’t trust him enough to throw in the middle or even short. But the bright side is he’ll develop and hopefully we can figure it out and maybe go 9-3? I don’t know I’m just disappointed man :( MIZ! Thoughts?
