Overall, just hope Bama takes it out on Auburn in the iron bowl and finishes the season strong. Think the defensive toughness will come as the freshman get older and turn into leaders. Offense needs to improve on the line of scrimmage and whole team needs to get more disciplined and get less penalties moving forward.
Agree - and I'll be honest, I think that we have - as Aaron Suttles put it in his post-game column - "lost our soul".
That doesn't mean turning into Georgia or Les Miles LSU, but the entire structure with Tua and the WRs and throwing to set up the run is different and weird and not our identity. I'm just not sure we are entirely sure how to craft a team identity around that. Add in the defensive issues, injuries and youth and it kind of snowballed.
The offensive line is what worries me - we haven't been great there since like the 2012/2013 outside of the 2nd half of 2015.

Yea - I think we've been pretty good there the 2nd half of this year. We had some issues early against LSU, but I think it was more of recognition and just a nice wrinkle from Aranda early. We run blocked the hell out them in the 2nd half (and they are a good run defense) and pass blocked just fine.
I just think that the RPO style, even with added wrinkles of more pro-style, is hard to be dominant with up front.
