Meh we could’ve easily taken that one though. I’m not sure anyone expected an AU blowout. The defensive gameplan and playcalling are the head scratchers. Save a couple of plays and we win.

My totally sober take (lol) this was two evenly matched teams and home field and a bad turnover costs us the game.

Bo is not a game changer QB that can win us a championship, but he did not lose us the game tonight. His receivers helped him zero; we are missing a Seth Williams. Our defense played well but was out of position tonight as we are still learning some zone concepts and this defensive scheme in general. This defense will get better.

We get a cleanup game and then a beatable LSU to start SEC play. We can learn a lot from this game but I am not disappointed. This coaching is way better than we were getting. A turnover by a young recover ultimately cost us in an incredibly tough atmosphere. Let us grow and learn under this staff.

I agree with the sentiment here, this game is mostly on coaching.

Defensively we hardly got any pressure (a lot of 3 man front) and played wayyyyyy to much zone. Very unprepared.

Offensively we had moments and drives where we looked to be hitting on all cylinders. But other times I was scratching my head. That 4th and goal play call was absolutely TERRIBLE. We need to play to our strengths more - we have two incredible RBs that need to be fed. We did that at times but not enough.

Bo Nix thoughts - so this is Bo’s third coordinator in three years and first year with a competent QB coach. For the most part, his decision making was definitely better tonight than it has been in any tough road game. Drawing that late hit was a big time move, too. But he didn’t do enough to actually win us the game. I will say though, our WRs definitely didn’t help him at all.
