... on the entire SEC schedule. Even with the bullsht penalties (that cost us HUGE plays and big yards), fumbles, and general lack of discipline, the backs have averaged over 4 yards per carry. Only an abject moron would approach this game as something other than that. Run to set up the occasional pass. Total bomb on this one and pretty dmn embarrassing

Choked on this game 2 years in a row
 
Is my memory correct that on second and short our first series we ran Brock out wide and ran a jet sweep or jet sweep fake that lost several yards .. so if correct 2nd play we try to get cute . 2nd damn play . They blow it up , we go 3rd and long or at least longer , and it went downhill fast after that . Horrific play call . Maybe a pimple on a gnats ass but it set a terrible tone

The fans that always say, “just run the damn ball” are clueless. Let’s see how that goes in the coming weeks when our opponents load up the box to stop the run. Not saying our game plan was very good, but you’re not going to win many games if you are one dimensional in this league. Bowden isn’t walking through that door. We have to pass block better or nothing else really matters.

We're not talking about any other game. This one was a definite run heavy game. Only chance they had was to let their edge guys dominate. They only dominate vs pass and are weak vs run.

Especially after the success we had running, should've never bothered throwing again.

You're the only one clueless here. NO ONE is talking about “just run the damn ball” every game and against every opponent. Reread the fkn title of this thread ffs.



This is football, not basketball.



You take what the defense gives you FROM THE FIRST SNAP TO THE FINAL WHISTLE. This USC team was not good against the run. You make them stop it, and when they adjust to do so, you go over the top with the pass. We had at least three running plays over 15 yards called back because of bllsht penalties we had no business committing that didn't even affect the play.



Said it last week when at the SMiss game- You run those jet sweeps against SEC speed and you're gonna get your assets handed to you. I was hoping they were just trying to take advantage of SMiss and their lack of speed. Then I watch them do that sht against USC when they can't pass the ball. W.t.f. You HAVE TO MAKE THEM back off the LOS before you MIGHT have some success with the sweeps. N-S running plays don't make room for the jet sweep. They make the D crowd the line more than drop back. It was a really bad call against them

Well NO fkn sht Sherlock. Great insight

Won't matter how well we pass block if we can't line the fk up correctly, or continue to extend our arms to hold in pass or run blocking. This was a complete self-immolation. It wasn't just on the sucky pass blocking. It was sht from play calling to execution. The only group that did a pretty good job on offense was the RB group running the ball.

There's too much to fix to think that we can compete with Georgia next week, but I'm not giving up on the season, or next weeks game
