If at the end of the season, we get booted from the first round we play in, do we finally chalk it up to Offensive coaching?

How on earth could anyone answer this question without having any idea how the game played out?

Last year we ended up giving OM the lead because our defense forgot basic fundamentals and gave up a giant gain on 3rd down. We let chambliss run around and make us look silly ala joe burrow in 2019. Sure the offense could've helped more too, but there's also blame to go around to Kirby, our backup center, and several others that don't directly involve bobo playcalling.

And as has bene mentioned a ton, I'm ever so slowly starting to come aroudn to the idea that the 1st round bye is overall harmful. At first I brushed it off as silly...you're a higher seeded team playing a wosre team, you line up for 60 minutes and that's all there is to it. But we have 8 games now which isn't really an aberration and we can establish some clear trends, and in those 8 games 7 of them (88%!!!) have bene won by the lower seeded team. Those lower seeded teams got to play (usually) some sacrificial lamb creampuff in the first round to knock a months' worth of rust off while the higher seed hasn't played in 5 weeks.

Wow. So, if a team loses a 45-42 shootout with the other team kicking a game-winning FG as time expires, is that the OC's fault?

Bobo should’ve done a better job of containing Chambliss.

The offense wasn't great in that game.

Got a defensive score to help but we were awful on third down and could never adjust to their DL stunting. bobo being out was probably most noticeable in this game but we had weeks to prepare for it and didn't really have a good plan for what Ole miss was doing.

If the final score is 70-63, no, probably not. If the final score is 3-0, yeah, that makes sense.
