QB always get blamed for poor offense. Always. In fact, it’s 90% accurate to blame the QB. 1. They are the leader of the offense. 2. They get the ball every play. 3. If you can’t pass, you can’t win in today’s version of football.

All we need Saturday was a score to settle the game and momentum down. QB has to deliver or come out when your ankle is broken.

While I dont think Bo is the problem and has improved a lot this year, those arent great stats in 10 games. Aver of 223 yards and 1.1 TDs per game

Bo isn't going anywhere.

Bo wasn't the problem last game, the trainers and coaches who either didn't notice he was hurt or let him continue are. You can visibly tell he's not stepping back into the pocket or planting after he gets landed on, and is just all upper body throwing. He made a TD drive, but his mechanics were completely different past his injury point, and should've been removed.

It was a solid year given the personnel around him. He also had 4 rushing TDs.

If Bo allowed his ego to supplant adequate play making (ie: on a broken ankle) then he was indeed a big part of the problem.

A hurt QB needs to know when to let the backup in.. . . legacy or no legacy he's not indispensable.

I'm pretty sure that Bo didn't know how serious his injury was.

find it hard to fault a guy for leading us on a 90-yard TD drive with the game on the line despite having an ankle fracture.

The fault in this game was the failure of our defense to do anything to slow down Will Rogers and his WRs. If we managed just one more stop in the 2nd half we probably win.

You got to be kidding, right?

Bo as many QBs and football warriors, never want to come out. And if its something the medical people can diagnose quickly in the tent, and Bo is saying he can play on it, then that's all a staff can do.

He's tough as nails, shown by his constant hits he has taken running or when passing.

And he DID let the backup know it was getting worse, and the coaches did replace him.

Certainly you have watched enough college and pro football to know this situation has happened many times on the field with tough mental players.

Just being honest, I probably won’t watch. I’ve lost interest in this season after the last two games. Hope the guys can rally because a loss to SCAR would be embarrassing and not a good look for Coach Harsin’s future, and I’m really pulling for him.



I might not either because we have folks in town, but after reading Finley's comments this week I'm interested in seeing what he'll do with the job all his. I haven't been high on Finley's upside, although I do think he has the ability to be a competent SEC QB. And moreover, seems like a great kid.

I don't put stock into what players say preceding a game.

I want him positive and focused, and definitely not panicking into thinking he HAS to make something happen. That's when turnovers happen.

I also hope the coaches give him a good support scheme to help him. Ofc, USC is going to lock down the box and try to make us throw it.

Auburn 27-21

I'd pick us to win against an NFL team if we lined up tomorrow.. thats just how I am, but a few of yall are going to find out just how many issues Bo has been masking.


Agreed, I think the whole offense picked it up a notch when TJ went in. Never discount leadership, and Im not talking the nonsense the announcers speak of, Im talking 11 kids in a huddle with someone asking them to hold the line for just a couple of seconds and catch the ball.

Line will have no excuses about scrambling, TJ stays in the pocket and has a rocket arm, now accuracy and actually catching it, we shall see today.

And for those of you who want to run the ball, well they will start out with eight in the box, so how many series will you continue to scream, run the ball, until we start to throw some and back them off the line of scrimmage????

We had a beautiful mix the first part of state, then when it was obvious we could not hit the long or intermediate passes, the whole field shortened and the offense went to shat.

After a few difficulties we dumb down the game to what TJ can handle. And with fewer choices it'll be enough of a difference against SC.
