Next year will be interesting. We won't have Reece at OC but overall hard to argue our OL doesn't upgrade/improve at every position other than OC

Coleman just looks out of shape the last three weeks


Ive literally seen him tackle people several times... he can't handle a quick pass rusher, they run right around his fat arse.

He doesn't seem to be able to endure a full season. He looked solid early

Who the hell said this? Many felt he would do well and he did early on. It is obvious his body is breaking down late in the season.

It might be worth a look to flip him and Young so he won't be going up against other teams best pash rusher.

It was preseason talk from some of the other OL's...you know, just like JJ said NM was going to win the Heisman.

Good grief, I wish our players would just focus and shut their damn mouths. The more I think about it, it seems like they let the hype go straight to their heads.

Shon Coleman definitely was overhyped from OL to coaches. I imagine sans cancer he would be elite but his endurance went to 0 by the end of the season. Reece also didn't live up to Rimington Finalist hype we gave him


Nick Marshall on the other hand has played phenomenal all season. I was on the start JJ train early this season but I was being an idiot. Marshall's passing has significantly improved.

Our wide receivers on the other hand are the same garbage as always in AU history. When your best Wide Receiver other than Duke Williams in the past 10 years is Darvin Adams that is freaking bad. Can't blame Nick that most of his passes end up on the turf due to WR

I think I'll always be mixed on my 2014 feelings about NM. In 2013, the offense was vastly easier to run with Tre and Greg in there. This season, he's been solid, but also made crucial mistakes in the way of early turnovers, and he laid a goose-egg today.

When you have Tre Mason, Greg Robinson, and NM composing your run attack, it goes smoothly. When all you have is NM, the passing must take a larger role, and in the end, NM did hold back our passing game's potential.

Nick almost never turns it over early. In fact, the only early turnovers he has had in any loss was a Chade Slade caused tipped pass against MSU. Wtf are you talking about?

He was missing his #1 WR, Sammie Coates & Friends had bricks for hands and our OL were getting dominated. He didn't have a great game passing but hard to get in a rythm and get loose when you throw straight passes to Sammie then Ricardo and they drop all them.

Our passing game has been just fine the past few games until Duke went out.

Yea not NM's fault. I actually thought he was much improved as a passer.

The team just wasn't nearly as good or cohesive

Starts and ends on offense with the OL/HBack. Our run game putting up 250 yards/game or w/e is due more to CAP and Nick being extraordinary than scheme.

- We went from 4 to 1 guy returning to his 'natural position' when Kozan went out and we moved Slade/Young. Completely threw off our OL

-Prosch bailed out our interior OL way more than we realized last year. We knew Chad Slade sucked but we didn't realize he sucked this bad till this year

-Coleman wasn't what he thought and either deteriorated or got exposed as time went on

-Brandon Fulse is an absolute garbage HBack.
