Pressure from all over, WR's not helping, OL not blocking. The pick was a bad throw. However, I highly doubt Tyler Russell expected to go in when he did. I doubt he was mentally prepared to try and bring us back in the 4th quarter with a healthy Relf on the bench. I think it was a poor and desperatemove by Mullen.
I don't know whether it's Mullen, or the fact that Mullen is trying to be less involved, but our offensive playcalling has leftmuch to be desired over the last 5 days. Something better change, and it better change now. We need to get 8 total wins this year including a bowl. That is huge for us, because that meets my expectations, and it gives us back to back bowl games, which we haven't done in a long time.
Rebuilding is a long process in the SEC when you are down as long as we were. It's not a 3 year deal. It's a 5 year deal at least. Until we go to multiple bowl games, and finish building facilities and catch up with the rest of the SEC, we can't expect our talent to just magically be coached better than the LSU's of the world and expect to win. Doesn't work that way. We need consistency, and right now, 7 to 9wins consistently for this program is progress.
