I have no idea.
We're on our third defensive coordinator since we've had a serviceable defense. If we were actually playing fast, I could almost buy the "defense needs time to rest" argument.
Our special teams have quickly become garbage....didn't realize how valuable special teams can be by simply NOT SCREWING UP! Muffed punt returns, blocked FG's...these things are making a huge difference.
Our offense...good lord...I honestly expected them to be better than last year. NM may be a 'better passer' but we're still so inconsistent there that no one needs to respect that aspect of our offense.
AND THE PENALTIES. EVERYWHERE THE PENALTIES. ALL OVER WITH THE PENALTIES.
I have no idea what to fix...

I know the penalties have killed us. Thing is, we racked them up against OM, but still found a way to win.
The special teams penalties and turnovers really hurt against UGA - Bray and the roughing the kicker penalty essentially gave them 14 points.
I really hope this team regroups during the next two weeks and with the Samford game. I wonder if the coaches would open every starting position up and make these guys fight for their roles.

Penalties and playing it safe. Gus I think would want that 4th and inches back in the first quarter. Lack of senior leadership. Had a SR center mess up 2 weeks ago and we have a SR wr that fumbles punts. Our linebackers are scared to death when a true freshman running back hits a hole.

This! The times the defense did make a stop, special teams screwed it up. Hitting the kicker and the dropped punt...

This has been huge this season. Carlson is decent on kickoffs although he can't boom em like Parkey did. Our punting is atrocious and coverage breaks down quite a bit. Last year I was confident we would drop the return man. This year I cringe hoping someone can trip the return man up.
