That loss sucked.

We did not get beat by some crazy plays.

Our line got pushed around all day.

That is why I am pissed.

But nothing to be done now.

I have a fear I can predict next year's season. We look strong then throw away some unexpected game. Look strong in Novembver and then get beat at GA and Bama followed by a bowl loss.

I pray i am wrong, but closing out the season with a loss like this is demoralizing as hell.

Finally, the one think I really wanted to see was the young guys get more opportunities ... and the game did not really allow for that.

I was happy to resign Gus, because he has proven he can beat the best (Saban) and get us the SEC Championship game and NC game, which is all I can ask for. And I really thought we could win it all this year with the balance Stidham brought to the offense. I thought we were the best team in the country after beating UGA and Bama.

I am finally ready to admit though that I am ready for Marshall 2.0 (aka Willis). We are going to be strong on defense next year, but probably shakey on offense. We'll find a grove in the middle season, but doubt we will have the run game/oline we need to beat UGA and Bama on the road. StidTurkey will make mistakes under pressure if we can't protect him. We will probably finish 9-3 and lose the bowl game in order to ensure we don't have back to back 10 win seasons.

I do think Gus will get the pieces in here to win again though. And who knows, maybe the oline and Asa Martin will come through and set up for an exciting November again

We did, but having your offensive coordinator come out saying the head coach didn't make adjustments is frustrating. If shite isn't working try something else. Maybe pound Cox up the middle, or god forbid throw to the TE. Anything else other than a screen or KJ dancing up the gut. There's some flaw Gus has where he tells himself that if he does the bare minimum then he can get by just enough and that's dangerous.
