I was at the game and it was an awful experience.

The worst part, for me, is that I don't think the players gave up. If they had just given up and completely dogged the game like they did against Auburn I could say "well the team just quit."

No, the worst part is that they actually tried to be competitive and play hard... they just had no idea how to do it. We were awful in all phases of the game (though I'll cut the defense some slack, they were out there forever and often in horrible field position) and making the same mistakes we made in the first game of the season. Hell, we added some new ones.

We are a poorly coached and undisciplined team and Pittman clearly has no idea on how to change that. It wasn't a question of talent, we are fairly close talent wise to Mizzou. We simply don't know how to play a good football game this year.

I'm reminded of the old football joke. "What do you think of your team's execution?" "I'm all in favor of it."

NIL won't fix this, better players would be nice but aren't the solution. We have to overhaul the coaching staff... and that includes the top guy. They just aren't getting the job done.
