Our defense should have held them to under 20 pts as they were not beat up. Our offense on the other hand, knowing we have no oline, needed to have a gameplan to compensate.
The top defense in the country doesn't fold in the 1st half of a football game.
They ran away from Kmedichie all night and exposed some things in our back 7. Conner was really missed. We were out of position on some of there crossing routes and other times we were there and just didn't make a play. We need Conner back asap.Our D is not even top in the SEC...Florida's D prior to the game was statistically better than ours in several categories. Look it up. We have a good D but it's not elite, yet...All those senior linebackers we lost (Lewis, Bryant, Shackelford) is noticeable at this point, in my opinion.
Being big-headed .... arrogant ... and the fans confirm it to the players to me is the biggest problem. I don't think any of Vaughts teams had that problem. Instead of acting like "Zulus" before/during the game ... how about coming out with a cool, grim, determined, strong-willed concentration to kill the other team without all the BS Zulu crap. You NEVER EVER underestimate an opponent. If anyone has ever been in "brawls", you would know this ... cool heads prevail!
