Or is it weird that we were playing from behind against probably a third string defense?


We were playing from behind the entire game. As for the defense, I don’t know enough about Alabama players to say, but I do think I know enough about Nick Saban to say he would use whatever personnel he needed to keep us from having success.

Arkansas spotted Bama 28 points in the first half. The defense sucked but the offense punted five times and turned the ball over on one drive.

That first half ended any hopes of an upset.

We were within 5 points of Bammy... 3rd Quarter man, 5 freaking points.

We had an opportunity, BUt our Defense could hold a fricking 3rd and 15.. 70 yards later.

Both sides of the ball at fault here. But if we had a medium defense period, we would have won that game imho.

Defense breeds offense, Offense breeds defense. BOth side laid down and allowed the loss to simply occur. Pathetic.

This btw is on the players mostly!

It is also a coaching problem. That fourth and one that led to a delay of game penalty. The players played scared because they let Bama intimidate them and the coaches coached like they had something to lose instead of nothing to lose.

Not making excuses but there were 3 miss holding balls up the middle of the field on that run. All guys who could have made the tackle.

We just play weak though as I used to get dirty when guys held me. Cup check, tackle them and put my forearm on their neck as I fell ln top of them. We have to learn to play dirty just like they do.

Lol. Only hog fans could find a way to rationalize a dude literally no one had ever even heard of until last week as being better than KJ.

This is starting to look like Chad Morris shite.

State -9.5 is free money.

Us being a 10 point dog to a ranked team on the road is n the sec is not the same as losing to western kentucky, north Texas, and San Jose state all by double digits

We were down double digits to a FCS team with a legit shot to lose.

Rationalize away.

KJ is dressed out but Pittman said Fortin will probably start.

I don’t think anyone has done that. Better than KJ and better for the team than KJ are two different things. If we remain a one dimensional offense, there’s probably only two or three wins left on our schedule. With an effective passing game, plus our effective running game, we could win out.

Win out? Lol ok.

Did you forget about our dead last defense, horrific special teams or we’re suddenly just going to boat race everyone with our QB no one has heard of that “lit up” Bamas 3rd string at a 40% clip.

This place is incredible.

Why can’t every team that plays Miss State use artificial noise makers at home?

Not to mention he’s at his third school and he’s barely at 50% completion. This will be ugly until KJ is back

You’ve gotta bring in Hornsby and just cut down to the very basics. This offense isn’t nearly good enough to get away with having 10 players on the field like it’s 1991.

Oh no this is bad. The coaches are literally behind the fanbase just like they were in the Morris administration.

Everybody all for the backup when he hits 1-5 against Alabama until we realize he sucks too.
