A huge concern for me also... We have a ton of talent on our team that's capable of winning it all, but we lose our heads and lose our identity. That is on the coaches, JJ should be throwing easy passes to get his confidence up, screens, slants, and outs... Then pound the running game and let them do what they do...

I was telling my buddy the same thing Saturday. Our offense seems to be feast or famine right now. We run the ball and then throw it deep, nothing in between. No mid ranged throws and not a lot of dump off passes. We don't seem to be simplifying our offense even though it is struggling.

I would like to see us throw some intermediate routes, some short slants picking up 5 to 8 yards and give our receivers a chance to break it for more. Dump off some passes to our running backs in the flats and give them a chance to do something with it. I hate to say that Roc needs to ride pine but he isn't doing us very much good running between the tackles, give him the ball in space and see if he can do well in space.

Barber has really good vision and hits the holes, he should be the man this year

No doubt. I am loving the way Barber is running so far this year but without a passing game he is going to have a tough time keeping it together.

I just meant that I hate not having Roc on the field given his skill set and abilities. I would love to get him in open space and use him like the OMac style role on the edges, I think he could be fantastic that way.

Roc will get there, but he's young and needs to be patient, which is unheard of for players these days... I think Roc could be amazing by his senior year..

I have almost seen nothing to back this up. Remember the 1st play of the IB? I think he has been put on mop up duty.

How the frick is this guy still on our board? Such an obvious alter

I'm stoked about this game. It's finally game week as far as I'm concerned. Watched the first two games with mild enthusiasm, until the final two minutes of Jack state when it got dicey.

This week is what it is all about. Being an underdog, on the road, a conference rival, still everything on the table, I'm ready.

We see what we have this week and I think it is gonna be totally different than the past two weeks.

I just have to figure out where to watch the game. Has to be at a place that wont toss me for going apeshit beserk, screaming, banging on the table, cursing and so forth.

Tiger stadium with me man.

I know, right? I'll probably be acting like I'm at the stadium, so I have to be careful where I watch the game. I was asked to leave Hooters during the 2012 AU-LSU game. Have learned watching big games and acting like you are at the stadium is not welcomed in certain places.
