Shea's not good enough to go pro after his Jr. year, but I agree with you about Ta'amu and I said it after the LSU game and I'm sticking with it Ta'amu > Shea

Shea would have overthrown DK on his 2 touchdowns.
Ta'amu has excellent touch on the ball.
The Happy Hawaiian threw for 382 yards today -- 31 of 40. 10 rushes for 8 yds.
NO TURNOVERS today.
Last 2 games - we are 51 of 70 passing = 73%, 750 yards, 4 TD, 1 pick. Add JT's stats v LSU: 7 of 11 for 78 yds, 3 rushes for 20 yds.
Next week, pack the Vaught with Hawaiian Shirts & Leis.

I feel like this is getting over looked because we won, but what the hell was that spike all about? We were basically coming out of a time out because they were reviewing the fumble.

I think ta'amu was confused because on the play before you could see Luke was telling him that he would need to spike it after the qb keeper. Since the play was under review for so long it wasn't necessary to spike it anymore but ta'amu must have thought he still needed to.
You could tell the coaches were confused because he kept looking at them doing the spike motion like he was explaining himself after it happened.

Should be on the coaches. If they didn't go over a new play with him coming out of the review then of course he's going to default to the last thing they told him.

It kills me that if not for shite coaching decisions (putting Shea back in the LSU game) and shite defense (a fricking 24 point comeback loss) we could be 6-3 right now.

Yep, and with ULL next and what looks to be a beatable A&M. That would put us at 8-3. Oh what could have been. Seems like I've said that before. But 6-5 is still a possibility in two weeks so we'll just have to settle for that if we can get it.

Ta'amu is older and has way more experience playing college ball than Shea. If not for last year, Shea would still be a freshman with only a few starts under his belt. Y'all are jumping to conclusions way too fast

Anyone ready to replace Shea Patterson with Ta'amu really needs to take up table tennis and certainly never criticize coaching decisions in football ever again. Good grief. Patterson has 9 college football games under his belt, and the young man lead the SEC in passing yards. Through 6.5 games this year he racked up over 2,200 yds, and if given his game average for the 2.5 games he hasn't played he'd rank 3rd or 4th in the nation. Given the fact that Arkansas is ranked 80th in pass D, while Kentucky is ranked 120th, it's reasonable to assume Shea would have achieved his season average at least. It's possible he would have blown it out in both games and climbed to the top spot. Yes, a young man with fewer than 10 full games in college football, coming in under the worst of circumstances, all but leading the nation in passing - yes, by all means, bench or transfer that guy!!

Some of these same people are saying give Matt Luke the job. It's unreal.

Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.
I just think Ta'amu is the more poised, efficient guy at this point.

My only thing with Patterson is he always goes for the deep pass even when the WR is in triple coverage, and he loves to run around in the backfield like Manziel even when he could easily run 2 yards and get the 1st down.
I think that has cost us some games and I'm not convinced a healthy Patterson would have won the Kentucky game.
Ta'amu will take the short passes, he'll dump it off to the RB, he'll run for the couple yards for the 1st down.
He has played better than Shea by doing less than Shea would try to do.

There was a reason Ta'amu was the backup and Shea was the starter and it wasn't stars. Coaches aren't going to sit the better player down. At least not the better player based on their evaluation in practice. Shea's outings were against Bama and Auburn to name a few. Ta'amu wouldn't have had good games against that bunch. California wasn't bad either we now know. That said, you can't take anything away from what Ta'amu has done. He's performed better than any backup could have possibly been asked to. In fact, the backup label, I'll no longer use. He would have been the starter at most places.

Shell out some money for a retired Rugby coach to come in and teach these kids how to fricking tackle.

Jordan and the spike -- I member Leslie Miles motioning his QB to spike on the last play at the Ole Miss game. Miles is seen motioning the QB to spike. After the loss, Miles denied he told the QB to spike.
Posted on 11/5/17 at 9:04 pm to matthew25
Really think Jordan was confused there and honestly it never bothered me as it let them settle down..thought three plays might be max anyway

And let's not forget Kentucky called a timeout sometime after that didn't they when we had none. That was exactly what we needed to gather ourselves more. What a favor Stoops handed us there. I couldn't believe it.

Agree, that timeout was even better for us than our spike.
