Stop bitching about the D..

[57stratdawg]

They've played well enough tonight for us to get the W.

 

[fishwater99]

I agree. Great adjustments in 2nd half.
This is in Dan and the offense, or lack thereof. B

 

[CochiseCowbell]

That is correct. I hate to admit that but our O has killed us. 10 points?

 

[121Josey]

3rd n 9 all night long.

 

[57stratdawg]

3 or 4 3-and-outs too. Can't do that.

 

[drt7891]

And both drives to start the second half resulted in turnovers.

 

[RocketDawg]

Dan just ran in for a TD. The game is still technically within reach.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah the turnovers have been brutal.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah, Aries' is brutal right now. Would be a 3 point game.

But that's why I've complained about our RB rotation. Isn't that William's first action of the game halfway through the 3rd quarter? It's hard to keep your edge after watching for 2+ hours.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Totally agree there. You've got to rotate these guys in to get going.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I think Allen's inaccuracies have led to our D looking better in the second half. Now, I think our offensive line is 2011esque, but our DL and safeties are nothing to be desired in the pass game.

Just because they played better in the second half, it doesn't undo the shitshow in the first. Offense needs to execute better but defense was atrocious early.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

Exactly. It's a 60 minute game. We didn't make many plays on defense in the first half

 

[Dawg1976]

Yup. Poor D early made it an uphill climb.

 

[57stratdawg]

We adjusted to bring more pressure and started trying to take those deep curls out.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

True. Or rather 0 D early. No pressure.

 

[57stratdawg]

They played well enough to win. The O made them guard too many possessions.

 

[Drebin]

They played well enough to win. The O made them guard too many possessions.

17 points in the first quarter. 24 at halftime. Double digit deficit right off the bat.

The defense improved late but they sucked mightily early. I don't know how you say they played well enough to win. They didn't and it's not even a debatable point.

Hahahahaha

What do you say now Polly?

 

[Col. Forbin]

Look at what we held aTm to. Most predictions had them at 30 or more points. We knew they were going to score. If you would have said that we would have held them to 30 I would have been happy and said we would win. As would most. Bottom line is the offense and play calling sucked ***.

 

[57stratdawg]

That late 2nd Q TD is on the O. The D gave them the ball and a chance to make a game of it, but they couldn't get it done.

A&M should never have gotten the ball back there.

Who? Who has watched this offense this year and thought that we were a lock for 31? Ha. This isn't 2014. Previous SECW games were 19 and 17. 17 again. 17ing 17. 17. 17. We're not scoring 4 offensive TDs with regularity. 17 17.
