So what will be the consensus?

Is this more on the coaches or is it execution?

I'm going with coaching. Our scheme looks awful on both sides of the ball.

The tackling is horrendous. Playcalling is curious at best

It looks like two teams playing at completely different speeds.

 

[jdbulldog]

we have no intensity...none. Whose fault is that?

 

[Irondawg]

Coaching easily - we look uninspired and don't look like we have a clue what we are doing across the board.

No fundamentals. Can't block or tackle. Poor scheme. Need to seriously recruit some ol/dl. I am going to the golf course.

Coaching

The consensus is not ready to play...

..& that falls squarely on the coaches. I guess the upside is there will be no rumors this winter about Mullen leaving for another job. Because over the last 2 games his stock has decreased dramatically. And with 3 games left, it's only going to get worse.

It's simple. A&M is better and they have one of the best college quarterbacks. We don't have the running game to eat up clock.

 

[DerHntr]

24 to 0 kind of "better"?

 

[harrybollocks]

Yes. They are clearly a bad matchup for us. We'll lose to LSU, probably by fewer points, but I still think we should beat Arkansas and Ole Miss.

Matchups

Our strength (corners) on defense are irrelevant against this attack until they're 10 yards downfield (at which point our effort/tackling becomes the issue). A&M is better than us period, but matchups are what make this a blowout. This will not translate next week. Bama's speed will neutralize this.
