4th Down Failures cost us the game

[Podgy]

Went for it twice instead of punting, one worked out o.k.
Blocked field goal
illegal block on a field goal got them a TD
penalty on Arch

We can't make many dumb decisions and dumb plays and expect to beat SEC teams. Coaches should make fewer dumb decisions than players.

Sharpen up the middle doesn't seem all that effective

Also our coach doesn’t seem to have a clue what he wants to do in these short yardage situations to begin with. He puts in a special package of plays for the 3rd string QB. Sometimes he uses him sometimes he doesn’t. Honestly with our offense & Shapen at qb, we’re just not a good &1 conversion team.

Also, because we didnt score more than Texas, we lost.

I was yelling at the tv when he went for it both times on 4th down close to midfield. There is no point in it. I know it's something coaches do when they are shutting down the other team's offense, but we're just not good enough. Awful day to be a bulldog.
On the bright side, I have learned my lesson, and now am back to not caring enough to yell at the tv. So... problem solved.

Decisions in general cost us the game. The down is irrelevant.

This may be my biggest gripe with Lebby. On short yardage, 1st and goal, and late game plays, it's like he wants to try something new every week, and it's no wonder that the offense looks like a discombobulated mess in 90% of these situations. There's just no consistency

He has no idea what he wants to do with KT, and quit telling me that he has an open playbook when every 17n KT play is power QB run.

The crucial times when the offense absolutely must be in sync seem to always be the ones when Lebby's calling some BS on the fly, and no one on the field looks like they're on the same page. He creates so much of the cluster that we get to witness every week

The MSU curse beat us. It’s real. I used to think it wasn’t. Yes, Lebby makes terrible decisions more than most. BUT with 9 mins remaining I knew we’d blow it just because we do

Except for the TD pass he threw yesterday.....

2025 MSU is the worst team in the history of college football on 3rd/4th down & 1/2 yards to go.

We had to run out the entire 4th quarter to win and we aren't good at running clock. We need to work on that this week.

Yes, me too. I said 17 last night more times than I can count.
