re: Football Season Thread Admins making us kill this megathread. Make new threads instead

We don’t deserve to be there and will just get embarrassed if we do somehow go. We finally had some momentum in recruiting and Kiffin now has to figure out how to keep that going, and keep the current talent on the roster intact, while also firing half the offensive staff. Garrison and Smith are not SEC caliber position coaches and Weiss Jr is a football terrorist who needs to be immediately executed for his crimes against (removed:humanity) my sanity.

Also, I hate our offensive system. The versions that Huepel, Lebby, and Kendall Briles run are gimmicky bullshite but Kiffin has taken it and somehow made it even more retarded. I would fully endorse a complete reset, take the money we’re wasting on Weiss Jr and pay it to Brennan Marion or someone else that is actually talented at what they do. Kiffin has evolved before and I think it’s past time to do it again. Barring that maybe we could at least call more play action pass plays and call true run plays were the O-line can actually get a head of steam and move downhill rather than uselessly standing there while our RB gets tackled for no gain.

Are y’all high? Y’all are so mad about yesterday y’all wouldn’t want us to even have a shot at a national title?

There's basically no outcome where we get in.

ACC is getting in Miami and SMU. Two loss Clemson may well get in too.

Big 12 is just the conference winner.

Boise and ND are in.

Big 10 gets Ohio State, Indiana, Penn State, and Oregon.

That leaves 2-3 spots for the SEC. Texas, UGA, and Tennessee take those spots.

If Tennessee or UGA lose next week, Clemson and Bama are both very likely ahead of us in the pecking order.

The only path in is basically:

2 ACC teams lose (Miami, SMU, Clemson)

Auburn over Bama

USC over ND

Vandy over Tennessee and/or GT over UGA

That might get us in as the 12 assuming SC doesn't jump us for beating Clemson and being the hot team to end the season.

Delusionally retarded if true

We barely had an SEC level RB in Parrish and we are now down to a MWC punt returner as RB1. Just end the season.

Good thing we kicked Judkins off the team! Very strategic decision made with so much foresight with a clear back up plan in place.

Good thing we replaced Judkins with:
Diggs (torn ACL before we signed him)
Parrish (180 RB with no speed)
Bentley (??????)
Amos (thousand yard rusher with no carries)
Jones (walk on RB from Jackson Prep)
Thomas (random walk on)
Davis (Punt returner)
Pegues (300lb DL who runs off tackle)

Judkins with his distractions wouldn’t have helped this team

Play calling is the reason we lost those games. And if Judkins caused a rift in the locker room, then you have a team chemistry issue where it could cause more issues. There’s a reason he was let go. It wasn’t just Dart and couple of players who had issues with him and his attitude. We likely would have lost a few more players to the portal if he stayed

Also my point is if you’re gonna get rid of one of the best backs in college football have a fricking back up plan.

He has proven this year he’s not that. He’s above average at best. His only 2 games with more than 100 yards were Western Michigan and Marshall. Those two games were a third of his entire production for the season.

You take those games out he has 478 rushing yards on the year. So elite and worth the $900k in NIL he was demanding after being a locker room cancer all year.

Judkins probably won us the Auburn Arkansas LSU and State games last season. With his ability to run when everyone in the stadium knows we need to run to extend drives and eat clock.

We weren’t able to do that against Kentucky or LSU. We had the ball late in both games with the lead and couldn’t run the ball to eat clock. And we had a punt returner at RB against Florida.

Surely Judkins could have outperformed our shite arse running back room.
