Wiggins in at OC.
Move Limmer back to RG.
Kick Latham out to LT.
I guess flip Braun to LG.
All of this!
Limmer is a roller coaster at center, and he’s going to cost us a drive or even a game with his bad snapping.
Left tackle was a train wreck yesterday. Manuel — who the coaches have been very high on — was getting absolutely worked. Kutas was not good at RT.
We need to find a solve and quickly.

Also coaches have to decide on whether performances are different in games than in practices.
Speaking of, I don’t understand why E’Marion Harris isn’t playing. He was mashing guys in the Liberty Bowl.
I figured he’d be an opening day starter on the OL, but the coaches seem to be higher on guys like Manuel, Chamblee, and Kutas. This gets feel like practice all stars to me, whereas Harris has some good game tape (albeit a small sample size).

Crawford is a disaster on the right side.

I'd be okay with Chamblee or Manuel getting a shot at RT if Latham moved to LT.
Manuel was set to be our LT coming into the year until his injuries in fall camp allowed Chamblee to play.
Kutas is really young as far as OL go.
Young guys struggle on the O-line without continuity.
Edit:
Could also go something like:
LT Chamblee, LG Latham, OC Wiggins, RG Limmer, RT Manuel
I'd like to see Harris though get more PT after dropping weight but they might be trying to build him back up with muscle.

The run game was terrible in 2010, everyone was blaming the o-line and flipping the line had to be the problem.
Turns out the holes where there and knile was the only back willing to hit them.
Only change was the rb and the problem was solved. They need to find the rb who goes north/south and isn't looking for a edge/corner that isn't going to be there...

Finally listened to the press conference. He seems really mad he isn’t getting the love fest he has gotten the past 3 years.

Sam doesn't do well with criticism...i'm hoping it's a graceful retirment and handoff to someone vs us firing him. it's got potential for another nasty divorce considering our fan base....

Maybe it's just Biddy being Biddy, it isn't like other coaches havn't been irritated about his questions and comments in the past.
Hey coach, I realize you won the first two games easily, but why are you not playing only the starters like the games were against SEC opponents? It's a stupid question from a stupid man just stirring the pot.
He does this and wins 50+ to little, then later on an injury happens and it is why do you not have depth developed ready to fill in for the injured player?
Playing the non-starters for the last of the fourth in a blow out trying to run the clock out isnt quality reps for a guy you need to step in and up in a sec game...

I posted this in the other thread, but Fayette Villains dropped their quick breakdown of the game.
Spoiler alert: per the data, we actually ran the ball a bit better than people think we did.
FV Kent State breakdown
Adam Ford’s tweet of the data

Were they just rotating the OL in the fourth quarter or was it all game? I got the impression from Biddy that it was more than just late game sending the 2s in to get game reps. I don’t watch the line closely enough to know.
If it’s just a matter of getting them game reps, then why didn’t Pittman just say that? He seemed unusually bothered by the OL questions and if I remember correctly it came up three times in the interview.

It's been all game the first two games. The defense has been rotating as well.
After a win, not a close win, and not a loss it's a stupid question meant to stir controversy and have something to "start a discussion". It's a self serving question to drive clicks, views, listeners on drive time. It's a waste of a coaches time in this context.
These are the same clowns who refused to ask tough questions when things were bad the last decade and the questions should have been asked to those staffs. Instead they lobbed softballs and aww shucks articles.

I mean, advanced stats are fine but this is 2 weeks in a row that we couldn't pick up more than 4 ypc against a cupcake. Hope they get it figured out quick or conference play will be rough.

Better than the midget who thinks we will win by 50 every game. And after a blow out, he says shite like is there anything you’d like to tell the fans criticizing you? Do you want to let them know that hurts your team and it’s all their fault for losses.

Oh it’s gonna be ugly. He isn’t giving up an easy 6+ a year.. there will be golden handcuffs and things. Divided fan base because he is one of us…
Then different groups will try to bring back an Arkansas son. Whether it be BLj or Gus…

They tried to do the same with Muss because he wouldn't kiss up to them and they started stirring the pot.
I remember when Arkansas lost a game, Muss had his hands covering his face. Some dummy asked him a stupid question and he began to get angry and wasn't far from lashing out.
They are so used to being pampered and nice to all the time that when someone like Sam or Muss refuses to play that game, they get offended and cry like a baby.
Arkansas has to have the worst sports media in the nation.

Arkansas fans have been beatdown too many times over the years to have anything like the last two of the Nutt years.
I do agree the big whigs will go after an Arkansas guy like BLJ and go back to the Chad years.

I think it’s a little premature to be talking about new coaches guys at the end of the day we are 2-0

I don't think we care enough as a fan base any longer to resort to that. Interest has waned dramatically from where it used to be. Most of us realize we are who we are.

During Nutt era, we all thought our ceiling was higher than that as a program. Petrino proved that to be correct.
However, what we didn’t know was that our floor was much lower than we thought it was, as Bert and Chad proved.
