1. We played as well on defense as you could have possibly expected for the most part. The pass interference that Banks got that turned a FG try into a TD was pretty bad. Not sure what the hell he was thinking. Now way you can doubt what Wilson and crew are doing at this point. If Hatfield's favorite player- Fletcher Cox- stays another year, then this defense could really be tough.<div>
</div><div>2. I was big on Charles Mitchell before the season- but his Sr season has been less than stellar. He makes a good play here and there, but he gets caught up in the garbage too much and is a non-factor. He did that again on the last TD- nobody blocked him- but he got caught up in traffic and effectively blocked himself- giving them the last 7. I hope Whitley recovers- because he will be a very good SS next season.</div><div>
</div><div>3. Until we get better on the O-line, we cant beat an LSU or Bama. The OL being hurt and in constant flux cost u vs Auburn and SC, but last night they were healthy and had been back together a few weeks. We just simply cant block them. And until we can run the ball and create 2nd and 5's and 2nd and 6's on a regular basis, we cant beat those guys. It really is that simple.</div><div>The OL blame goes on both Crooms and Mullen. It takes until an OL player's 3rd season to really be ready to play SEC football. Obviously some players are ready before that, but they are the exception- and we have very few 3rd year guys on the OL. It starts with Crooms recruiting, and finishes with Mullen's lack of vision to bring in a couple of juco's last season to plug in.</div><div>
</div><div>4. Tyler does some good things out there, but sometimes he just holds it too long. I understand why- we arent ever open quick- but he cant just keep taking sacks when he has had time to get rid of it. There were a few times when he had no chance- his protection was about as good as a 7 year old condom- but a few times he could have gotten the ball away and avoided the sack.</div><div>
</div><div>5. Controversial call #1- bringing in Relf on 2nd and 5 when we were driving. I understand why Mullen did it- he is thinking we can outnumber them in the box with Relf running the ball- and if he can get a couple of yards it will be 3rd and short- which is alot easier to convert. And also the thinking there is that if you have 3rd and short, you have 2 plays to pick up the yardage. That is WHY he did it. I personally wouldnt have done it because we had a little rhythm going. Now, it's only a bad decision because it didnt work- had Relf picked up 3-4 yard, then Mullen makes a great move. HOWEVER:</div><div>Where I think the 17-up really was was the next play. I think he was wrong leaving Relf in there on 3rd and 5- and not bringing Russell back in. That was a coaching mistake. It wasnt a mistake on 2nd down- just a decision that didnt work out- but I think leaving Relf in on 3rd down was a coaching mistake.</div><div>
</div><div>6. Controversial call #2- the 4th down call with Farvuh in the game. It was a great move I thought- you had field position and needed points- time was running out and he knew this was probably one of his last chances. Mighty Midget hits Green right in the numbers. That ball HAS to be caught. Period. End of story.</div><div>Now, if you want to be a dumbass and say Mullen cost us 7 points, no he didnt. And even with that- Perkins ran the KO back to get us in position to score. If Bama doesnt KO to us there- we wouldnt have scored anyway- so it's a wash.</div><div>
</div><div>7. Anybody railing on Mullen and calling him a ****** coach is a moron. The OL has to block people- it's hard as hell to call plays when you arent blocking a gotdamn soul. You're scared to call a pass because you know the QB is going to get hit and there is a 50/50 chance he will be sacked. You call a run on 2nd and 4 from the 4 and you lose 3 yards...Every decision he made wasnt perfect, and some turned out wrong, but we are still well-coached. Until he gets better OL recruits, he will continue to look bad at times.</div><div>
</div><div>8. Green's dropped pass was crucial, Bump has got to win the battle for the ball in the end zone, FG kickers cant miss chip shots, Punters cant drop the snap to set the other team up for TD's, Mitchell cant go unblocked coming up to make the tackle and not even get a hand on the RB, the LG cant try to help the Center inside when there are 2 guys blitzing off of his left shoulder- and on and on and on. Playas got to make plays. Coaching can only do so much.</div><div>
</div><div>9. Triton gets the Ronny Atmosphere Dumbass Poster of the Week- congrats my man- that was some Ronny-level **** you posted last night and continued on with this morning. Hudspeth didnt call one play in his 2 years here- dont forget that. (that came straight from Mark- one of the reasons he wanted out)</div><div>2nd place goes out to the idiot blaming Mirando because we werent throwing certain routes. Mirando has zero to do with playcalling genius. Zero. He is to blame if the route is not run correctly.</div><div>
</div><div>10. Lets also remember the series between State-Bammer is something like 17-76...hell, we didnt even beat them one time in the 60's or the 70's. And right now them and LSU are the top 2 programs in college football. We cant compare to that right now. What we have to be bothered about is losing close games to Auburn and SC because of our lack of lineman depth. We have to take that step to become a 7-9 win team consistently. And we are a helluva lot closer than we were just 2 years ago. If we can get some juco OL guys and the young ones improve- we will be pretty salty again next season. Thats what we want- a competitive program- which is what we have rarely had.</div><div>

#3 and #9 were spot on.

Bama and LSU have line quality and depth that very few teams in the country can even try to approach and we are no where near that spot.

When Jackie had his success we were stout on both sides of the line. Mullen needs to follow suit.

We still had over a quarter to play and were only down 10-0.We punt and pin them back at least on their20 yard line. Who knows what could have happened? Possibly another turn over, muffed punt, etc...

and his overall special team coaching is totally ****.
so because he switched kickers the 2nd guy wasnt supposed to make it too? Btw Socrates- a left-footed kicker from the left hash is an easier kick than it is for a right-footer <div>
</div><div>Did Perkins design up the KO return he almost returned to the house?</div><div>
</div><div>Do you think Mullen hasnt had the punter catch enough snaps that he shouldnt drop them in games?</div>

if I had to pick a moment was when Cam Lawrence gets an INT and gets us to the four and we just completely implode on offense. We had false starts, we couldn't get any yardage and then we miss the short field goal and came up empty.

We should have had a TD there, and heck even three points would have been something positive.

"If Bama doesnt KO to us there- we wouldnt have scored anyway- so it's a wash". ---is it feasible to think that maybe instead of a kickoff it could have been a punt return?

"Hudspeth didnt call one play in his 2 years here- dont forget that" I didnt bring up Hudspeth once, I just agreed with Shrute on a few posts regarding Hudspeth. Then Incognegro brought him up this morning. So I apologize if I was over Huddy, I was prompted...

"In Mullen We Trust" I would just like to ask you how long are you going to give Mullen to beat someone besides Ole Miss? Just curious. It would be awesome just for ***** and giggles if you tell me what your expectations are of him? What do you expect for next year? What does he have to do to be on the hotseat?

I enjoy your Morning QB posts by the way and I am honored to be a part of this one.

When they were offside on the KO, I thought we should've made them rekick instead of taking the 5 yards and moving from the 20 to the 25. We needed to bust something big, and those 5 yards don't make much difference there. Also, if Robert Elliott makes a block, Perkins walks into the end zone on the big return.

The fourth and favre was absolutely the right call. How many chances do you get across midfield against bama's D? Gotta try to score when you can, and the throw was perfect.

You're right on the relf decision- I wasn't happy when he came in, but he really shouldn't have been in on the passing situation on the next play. And if you're ever going to play relf, it should have been on 1st and goal from the 4 after the INT. Shirley his absence was due to his injury.

Mullen at least showed some creativity with the swinging gate that got the long drive going.

8. Green's dropped pass was crucial,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Bump has got to win the battle
for the ball in the end zone</span>, FG kickers cant miss chip shots, Punters
cant drop the snap to set the other team up for TD's, Mitchell cant go
unblocked coming up to make the tackle and not even get a hand on the
RB, the LG cant try to help the Center inside when there are 2 guys
blitzing off of his left shoulder- and on and on and on. Playas got to
make plays. Coaching can only do so much.
</div><div>I don't know why we have Bumphis in that situation in the first place. He is short, has never been seen jumping very high, and I can't remember him really fighting for a ball. I think you have to have one of our taller guys in that situation. Arceto Clark would have been a better option even, because he can jump very high for his height, and has shown that he will fight for a ball. But I would prefer Malcolm Johnson or Chris Smith there. When you look at that play run successfully, it is always an Alshon Jeffery, Julio Jones, Plaxico Burress body type player. Having a little guy without exceptional skills try it is pointless.

Not that a little guy couldn't do it, because I am positive Eric Moulds could make that catch.

Let's be honest- we've already won 9 games under Dan including our first NYD bowl win since my Grandfather was in his twenties and rode a train to watch it in the Orange Bowl. He is ahead of Jackie Sherrill in terms of wins his first three seasons and is about to take us to the Liberty Bowl probably with a team with no o-line a schedule that had as of yesterday 6 top 20 teams- three of which are in the top 10. Auburn might fall out, but that's semantics.

What a lot of people forget is that Dan has only been here for three seasons. That means our redshirt juniors and seniors were not recruited by him. And just as I have called him out for not recruiting JUCO o-linemen, at least he is doing what he needs to do to rectify that by next season.

Contrary to popular belief of some- Croom sucked at recruiting. Even after Dan lost four dandy dozen guys- his class last year was better than any of Croom's- and Dan even had to finish out Croom's best class. One of the places that Croom really failed was personnel management- in other words- recruiting a snapper when we needed a QB. Recruiting two o-linemen a year. Recruiting twelve DE's. Stuff like that. And it's killing us right now- see the o-line. Until we get that straightened out in a couple of years, we are going to struggle against people like South Carolina and Alabama.

Coach34 says we have to have Bumphis win the battle for the ball. It was Bumphis vs. Menzie on a fade route. Bumphis loses that battle 10 out of 10 times you try it.

ran a cross with him and the outside WR- trying to get some kind of a pick- I think the ball was late from Tyler- but couldnt quite see- the CB could have gotten over the pick easily as well

Because I don't see it. This team is certainly better than it was under Crooms, but that could hardly be considered a definition of "well coached".

I can accept that they weren't going to beat Alabama unless the Tide was suddenly going to become a turnover machine. I also accept that poor offensive line play limits what the team can accomplish.

But, while I agree the defense has improved an awful lot this season, I continue to see a disorganized team that lacks an identity, and continues to make the same mental errors game after game. Y'all may not agree they are poorly coached, but I have not seen evidence of them being "well coached".

1. MSU committed zero turnovers. That is actually pretty phenomenal against Alabama. And, since we won the turnover battle, they can quit showing that graphic that Mullen is undefeated whenever he wins the turnover battle.

2. The cowbell control was awesome. Did they even allow cowbells in last night? I swear you could barely hear any being rung at the wrong time.

but given the way Russell threw the ball, more like a fade without zip like he would with an out route (which a cross inside the endzone is basically an out route as far as the quarterback is concerned), I would have to imagine the play was called as a fade. No matter what you do, that would be a jump ball 95% of the time. This is just from memory though, and maybe Russell just threw it wrong.

I don't think that was the first time we have run that play this year either, and the other time was basically a jump ball as well.

from the 4 yard line- Bump was running to the right, and fell out of the right side of the end zone- not fading and falling out of the back of it

On the first play after Bure's hit out of bounds, Bonner wound up in man coverage against a wideout, and literally was 25 yards downfield. He could have recovered a punt from back there. The WR ran an out route, and Bonner never had a chance. Free 20 yards to Bammer.

and when two of their guys jumped the slant it left Bump 1-on-1 in the corner and thus that's where the ball went.

I was just pointing out that were dead last in the country on kickoff returns.

It's year 3 under Mullen and I feel like our special teams have been sub-par. Urban Meyer was always the special teams coach at every stop and Mullen is trying to follow in his footsteps, but it may be time to pass those duties on to someone more qualified.

Is Russell better than you thought he would be? Granted, he's not great, but he is finally showing flashes and getting better all the time. I think he will be really good next year and 2013. He's on pace to set career yardage and ypa records.

He is doing what I expected- completing more throws down the field- making more correct reads than Ralph...he is also taking a few too many hard hits and holding it a little too long at times- but all that was expected<div>
</div><div>Where he is doing a little more than I thought he would is taking decent care of the ball. He has also had a couple of good runs by catching the defense completely offguard. And he has completed a few passes while scrambling that has kept drives alive. Been pleased with these things.</div><div>
</div><div>Ralph looked bad last night, but I think he still needs to play some the next 2 weeks- both of these defenses can be run on by us, and we need to take advantage of that. But as I have said, Tyler needs to get a majority of the reps. This OL cant handle a heavy run-load.</div><div>
</div><div>I look forward to next year to Tyler and Prescott getting the snaps at QB- especially if we can get a couple of juco guys for the OL.</div>

and his overall special team coaching is totally ****.
so because he switched kickers the 2nd guy wasnt supposed to make it too? Btw Socrates- a left-footed kicker from the left hash is an easier kick than it is for a right-footer <div>
</div><div>Did Perkins design up the KO return he almost returned to the house?</div><div>
</div><div>Do you think Mullen hasnt had the punter catch enough snaps that he shouldnt drop them in games?</div>
Regardless of the kicker being a lefty, taking out DePasquale, who has been pretty solid for us outside his last couple of games, and putting in a ginger cold from the bench was an indefensible coaching move. Egan basically laughed off the miss as if he was thinking "what the 17 I'm I doing in this game?" Dude clearly had no business being in the game. That one was on Mullen, and is probably the biggest head scratcher to date for me.
