Shifting players around. Run blocking didn’t seem good, especially in 3rd down situations. Troy got penetration on several plays. Troy’s D is not good, at all. So, what’s going on with the Oline?

The run blocking has been underwhelming for the most part. Pass pro has been good but the zone blocking has been sub par.

I didnt understand the mix and match approach they took to today's game at all. Guys were tripping over each other and missing assignments.

I certainly expected a better product by this point in the season.

There always going to be questions on the Oline replacing two starters with unknown commodities. But, I think with 3 returning starters, there was an expectation of good performance. They haven’t been terrible, but I don’t understand shuffling personnel along the line. And I don’t understand the struggle against a G5 opponent. That doesn’t bode well with Georgia and Florida on the schedule ahead.

They should be better than they have been. I’ve also been a bit disappointed with Badie. He’s dancing too much

they seemed to be out of position a lot. Several times rushers got past the line untouched. Hope they work that out

OL need to improve a lot since that is where Missouri is going to need the OL to protect the quarterback and to open up holes for the running backs.

They allowed they starting QB to get hurt. OL is a tough job, but it has to be better.

I find myself saying that I'm still a bit worried about the offense, particularly the OL, when we get the the tough part of the schedule. Then I remember there is no tough part to the schedule other than UGA, which we'd probably lose no matter what. I suppose the UF game can now be thrown in the mix.

Spot-on, well thought out analysis.

The struggles yesterday had more to do with Wallace and Castillo than Cook and Borom. That game will end up being the worst grade of Wallace's playing career. He didn't handle any of the run blitzes well. When Castillo was uncovered he rarely got to the second level. Davis is a sound coach but I'm not sure I agree with moving Wallace away from a position where he was arguably one of the best in the SEC.

That would be a pretty bad season if so. This team should do better with this schedule.

well they should of went 10-2 with this schedule but now it's 9-3. If we win 1 (or even 2!) from Fl, Ga that's overachieving. We don't recruit like they do, that's tuff to do

9-3 10-2 for a coach 70 percent of this board wanted fired. This is a top 15 type team.

It will be interesting to see if he can up his recruiting if he gets to 9-3 or 10-2 and sell his program instead of his idea of the program.

Ole Miss is way better than people are giving them credit for.

That’s definitely are toughest game of the next 3 before Georgia. Something also tells me that Tennessee is actually going to be competent by the time we play them. Maybe even Arkansas.

Better than people give credit? Maybe
Toughest of the next 3? Probably
Good? Nope

And we should beat merely competent by a mile.

Plumlee being able throwing the ball to win is an unknown and their defense is not good.
