Well, let's quickly look at this
close against good competition but we weren't.....When we played good teams, we got the **** beat out of us.......
We beat Troy 30-24. If we play more aggressive, we win by more.
We hung 31 on South Alabama and were very sloppy.
We had a 10-7 lead on MTSU at the half.
We let UT have a gift TD before we went on a miracle 5 minute drive to close out the game. Again, play more aggressive and we win easily.
We beat Auburn 28-10 when we took the foot off the gas.
We hammered Arkansas. Only game we did what we were supposed to do. Other than JSU.
If you look at the games we lost- even though we were mainly blown out, it was because we didn't do little things- like we had a FG block against Bama, we had a horrible gameplan against Texas A&M- how is that on the players totally?, and we made some stupid mistakes against LSU- hell, we gave them a free TD right before the half.
I think you have to blame most of those issues on the coaches.
