A lot of rat poison was was fed from this board.Good- RBs, Reichard, Burnip
Bad, QB and Center communication. O line
Ugly- My 10 point prediction. Rat Poisoning
Wished for a better outcome, shit happens and I will eat my crow, it was there for the taking. I am proud of the way they played through this year though.A lot of rat poison was was fed from this board.

I am not as mad as I usually am surprisingly. Little pissed at the fact we had it, and whiffed but not as much as I thought I would be.The board came a long way from being on suicide watch at the end of September... Lot to be happy about and proud of though when it comes to this team. Starting and ending with, Bama reclaimed the SEC and knocked UGA off the top of the college football world, which that had a firm hold of going into the SECCG.
Just came here to say the same thing. I'm not that upset. If you take off the Bama glasses, with these 4 teams, I'd say Washington and Texas have better QBs. Our o-line was probably the 4th best. Washington and Texas have better receivers. Our overall defense was mid tier. My hope is that our current coaching staff can either improve or that Nick will go out and find better coaches. Our in game offensive game planning has got to improve. We are so used to making the other team quit and have sound fundamentals and to be honest, those things have became a cause of concern the past couple of seasonsI am not as mad as I usually am surprisingly.

That's a Reese problem that really needs to be addressed. He's had some great games but this was definitely not one of them. He didn't scheme anyone open, he didn't attack the perimeter or use the QB draw until the 2nd half.Another UGLY: Law had 1 touch (a catch) for 1 yard. Inexcusable. There were opportunities IMO to get him out on the edge in space a few times against that aggressive UM front.

You have to play against what you see on defense, if the defense is constantly bringing 5-6 rushers and moving fast up the field. Use the area behind them for quick passes or use their momentum against them with QB draws or screens.
Basic playcalling scenarios and he just seemed to wilt until Half-time where he made the adjustments but we were struggling to capitalize with the negative plays.
We didn’t use a dump off option to a RB all year when teams were pressuring Milroe. And we didn’t tonight, to nobody’s surprise. Every team does that except us. There’s a reason why they do it.
And another one… Milroe sliding on that 3rd down run when he was almost to the yard to gain. What the heck happened there? His decision making was very questionable in many instances tonight.
Agree on the screens. When they were having trouble with the pass rush run some screens to the TE, WR, RB etc.... Call plays to get the ball out quicker and to slow the pass rush. There was some adjustments in the 2nd half but it was really bad in the first half.Really wish they'd make a commitment to a strong screen game again.... it sucked under O'Brien... I mean SUCKED, even though he called them a lot. Not as many this season, but they still sucked.... were just wasted downs. It's somehthing that has to be repped a lot for blocking, and maybe that's why the got away from it this year to focus on other stuff... but I would love to see them turn it back into a weapon... and so much can be done off of it in terms of creativity that would fall into Milroe's strengths.
