Because of missed kicks. Ferrie has been good but if he makes the kicks against UT & UF, we win.
Disappointing because I thought we had a good one.

We've lost 2 SEC games

In his defense, the TN kick isn't on him. Bad snap/hold.
Can't blame him one bit for TN. The FL kick could have been better, but I'm gonna need an explanation for how it was not good.
Ferrie's miss did not cost us the UT game. 4 plays later we got a turnover and turned that into a TD. That doesn't happen if Ferrie makes the kick.
Ferrie made a 55-yarder earlier in the year. He should have at least been given the chance last night. He's a good kicker.
We lost because Shapen left 24 points on the field.
Shapen really has been awful this season. A change needs to be made.
Yes, he really did. There were at least 2 long passes that he substantially overthrew. But at the end - Ferrie should have been kicking. There was a high risk of a turnover, given what we normally do. I'm far from a football strategist, but even I know you don't try to dump it over the middle into a crowd.
Fuсk that. Ferrie has been one of our best and most consistent players this year. Pinning these losses on him, rather than Shapen (who has had lots of screwups in both games) or Lebby (who had multiple questionable coaching decisions in both games), shows a really weird agenda on your part.
He hasn't been awful this season, but he was definitely not good on a number of key plays yesterday and it cost us a very important win.
Also, the one last night was good. Unfortunately, it was over the top of the goal post so it couldn’t be reviewed.
I think more of the fan base is loosing confidence in Lebby.
He constantly misses open guys, refuses to look for check downs, has piss poor pocket awareness. He had a good game against Arizona state for sure, but otherwise he’s holding the team back. Now he may be the best QB on the roster but he’s not good and he can’t win in this league.
I don't think it was good, but we never got a definitive replay. In college, if the ball passes directly over the upright it is no good
After getting past the early season creampuff part of our schedule, here are Shapen's stats
2 TDs
3 INTs
14 sacks
-51 yards rushing
43.4 QB rating
Toss in the 40 or so points that he's left on the table due to overthrows, poor RPO reads, or just flat out holding on to the ball too long, and you just can't win like this. I like the kid, but there is absolutely nothing that he does that gives us an an advantage at QB over other SEC QBs. Every part of his game is limited
Yes he has. Almost every one of his kicks splits the uprights in the middle. The one he missed against Tennessee was an awkward snap/hold and got him out of rhythm. The one he "missed" last night was good, or at the least, could have been called either way. It should have had a second look by the officials.
We also went on it on 4th down. Lebby definitely has some concerns. Yeah you can't say he lost them but he certainly contributed. That's why I don't understand running it to a spot he feels comfortable and dropping there. Length isn't the problem, it's accuracy
There is a reason we were looking for a top qb in the portal and not doubling down on shapen
Not disagreeing with that but you also have to take into account the points he did score.
Hold on. Someone will pull out metrics that will tell you he's the second coming of Dak.
Well, 3 missed open TD throws. A pick at a time where everyone in the world knows you run the ball. Looks like we are working to 4-8 anyway.
We are gonna go 4-8 anyway. Our only shot at a win is a shootout with Arkansas and that won’t happen with Shapen. I’ll fully admit he may be the best QB on the roster but it’s time to try something else. He’s been putrid in sec play
You said he's been awful all season and that's not true. All I did was point that out.
In your response above you actually said what you meant, and I agree with some of it, not all.
If you think the kicker lost either game I don’t know what to tell you.
He could have won this one but he definitely didn’t lose it.
