Reviewing stats tonight,

Two big games this year we've had the upper hand statistically, but lost. I would usually attribute this to turnovers, but that hasn't been the case.<div>

Auburn - Defense sucked


S. Carolina - Offense couldn't score

With Auburn I think it's players. With South Carolina I think it's coaching.

Had first and goal inside the five in both games. Lost both games by a singlepossession. In the SEC you cannot afford to not cash in on anyopportunity, let alone a golden one. That's not to say other factors didn't come into play, but that's the most glaring to me.

What's crazy is we have 2 good RB's and a big, physical QB and we still have trouble scoring TD's inside the 5

 

[CJDAWG]

Ever since we scored 8 TD's against Memphis... we've scored 9 offensive TD's (4 against SEC opponents) We just don't have the fight like last year... season isn't over, but damn someone needs to step up and be a leader... get mad and light a fire under this team

We should run the wishbone with a FB and Ballard behind a strong O Line. But we don't have a strong O Line. We could be 5-2 right now had scored some TD's on those two drives, the margin for error in the SEC is nil. (and DePasquale making the FG Saturday would have helped.)
