Great int!!!!!

 

[lexgamecock]

Defense gets a sack and fumble then the offense blows it again.

Another turnover. Offense 3 and out. Defense wears down and we lose again. Rinse and repeat.

 

[wallycock]

Screen pass please

 

[UpstateGamecock2]

INT!!!!! YES!!! Now score a TD!

 

[jeff2001]

3 plays 3 yards.

 

[wallycock]

Sumlin still looks unconcerned.

 

[jeff2001]

Put Orth is the game

 

[paleoorthocock]

This is absolutely enraging.

My problem is that you are being Condescending for the wrong reasons. None of this is easy. Dude came in halfway through the recruiting season, has less talent than last year, likely has the youngest offensive squad in the league, and yet we are competing. The talent on defense hasn't changed much, and we are drastically improved. We are within a single score of a top 10 opponent who most thought would crush us, and yet you still want to b**** and moan about our issues. That's my problem...

I'm not bitch in and moaning, but pointing out what's obvious. Our offense is one dimensional and the worst in power 5 football. But we refuse to make a change. Mcillwain is not our only offensive problem, but he's not giving us any production at the position. It's time to try something/someone different.
I'm extremely critical of Muschamp's offensive decision because he stubbornly stuck with Driskell and it eventually cost him his job.

Sumlin said at the half that our team had done nothing since the run from scrimmage on the first play of the game.

If you don't trust Bmac to throw a deep out or a post or a seam or anything over 10 yards, then don't play him. This is absurd. A&M's entire defense is defending 5 yards from the LOS.

 

[rogue cock]

WR screen, TE screen, check down to the RB, RPO to the slot. Just the threat of us throwing the ball changes the defensive play calling.
Can you have a discussion without personally attacking? Try acting like an adult. Genius

On a WR screen, the WRs have to block. They proven several times in this game and others they are unable to consistently do so.

 

[robertfootball]

We've had plenty of chances but our offense is dreadful. Forgive me if I won't be happy with a moral victory.

 

[jeff2001]

Roll BMac out on pass plays.

 

[carolina_slim]

Looking forward to the future, this defense will be respected... they look much improved from last year. The RB position will be a force. The WR position will come along, but that OL is a real concern.

 

[GamecockJL]

Muschamp and Roper are scared shitless of throwing the ball more than 5 yards down the field.

I wanna see Bentley! Damn a redshirt.

 

[ncgamecock77]

Do we not have a middle screen or shovel pass in the whole offense?

 

[mbsurfside]

Getting sacked on a zero blitz has nothing to do with the offensive line.

So u think the OL is not a huge reason for us not moving the ball? I see 3 defenders penetrating on every play. What do you see?

 

[GamecockJL]

Sean Kelly STILL has more pass yards than McIlwain

 

[jeff2001]

Fixing to put it away right here.

A bad QB and slow WRs. And dubious play calling.

 

[wallycock]

Orth can't run, but then BMc doesn't have anywhere to run anyway. I wonder if inserting Orth and throwing it deep just once would loosen things up some.

 

[daytonabeach4usc]

Hate to say it so early in the 4th but this is probably ball game right here.

 

[mbsurfside]

He's running into a nine man box at this point. Feel bad for the backs and the line. They are playing well.

The line sucks

 

[robertfootball]

Is it just me or is anyone else not seeing BMac progressing AT ALL.

 

[Cock-Vader]

On pace for 57 yards passing.

 

[NotASmallTalkModerator]

None.

 

[rogue cock]

You want to run a shovel pass with the DL getting penetration up the middle? Seriously?

 

[mbsurfside]

A bad QB and slow WRs. And dubious play calling.

The OL is playing like garbage also. Only yards we make is when our RBs break tackles

 

[shorecock]

Sumlin said at the half that our team had done nothing since the run from scrimmage on the first play of the game.

he's right.

 

[jeff2001]

Again the line can't block 8 or 9. We can't pass the ball at all.

 

[mavcock]

Our punter has more passing yards than McIlwain.

 

[NotASmallTalkModerator]

That should do it with out offense.

 

[robertfootball]

Again the line can't block 8 or 9. We can't pass the ball at all.

Well we can, its just nobody knows where the hell its going. Will it go 10 yards behind the receiver? Out of bound in the 3rd row? 5 yards and hit the dirt in front of the WR? Straight to the defender? Every pass is a mystery.

 

[wallycock]

Orth can't run, but then BMc doesn't have anywhere to run anyway. I wonder if inserting Orth and throwing it deep just once would loosen things up some.

If nothing more, it might just make arm make ATM pause a play or two.

 

[Wheeler_N]

BMac needs to sit. No harm in it. His confidence is shot. He'll get better in time, but right now he needs to sit.

 

[gamecockblack]

He was short. Damn ref

 

[Cocky kebo57]

If Orth doesn't come in this next series, it will show me that CWM doesn't want to try and win this game. BMac is simply NOT GETTING IT DONE.

 

[robertfootball]

If nothing more, it might just make arm make ATM pause a play or two.

Game reps aren't helping him progress at all. We need to see about getting the kid transferring from Alabama.
