These games aren’t as close as the score indicates. At any time these teams can step on the gas when they need to. We don’t have an extra gear.

Today we have a higher gear at least.

KJ ran better, Our Oline was much better in the 2nd. The Defense was great, thankful for Jackson. ST's Yeah Buddy!


We arent terrible... Not as bad as we feel we are as fans desperate for a win!

Both were better when we played faster, I don’t know if that’s too much for fat Sam or if Dan Enos doesn’t recognize that?

This season kinda reminds me of 2014, really good defense that keeps us in every game but just not enough offense to actually win them. I can see us getting some wins down the stretch when the schedule lightens up but might be too late at that point

Meh. Not sure we got bama’s best effort during that comeback. When we had their full attention they had thier way with us again.

If this team was coached better, we at least beat BYU and LSU.

Sam is good at playing one solid quarter of football then being terrible the other 3.

Situational coaching and details are some of the most important indicators of winning close games. When operating at a talent deficiency you have to be high level at these.

And LSU....

Sam is not a guy who is gonna out coach the other team. I can't think of a single coach Sam has out coached and out managed a game on. Can anyone else?

LSU 16-13
Alabama 35-42

2-2

2022

Cincinnati 31-24
Texas A&M 21-23
Liberty 19-21

2023

BYU 31-38

5-13 overall so far.

No matter the talent level that Sam faces on the field, the trend of losing close games is getting worse.
