I've added some of the woes. Sark is a terrible HC. I don't want to hear the back to back bullshit. If he knew how to coach, and learned anything from Saban, he would have more than 5 plays, attempted to get Terry involved in the RB, even as a blocker if nothing else, but really just simple down the plays and allow him to punish their front 4-5. Where is Winston and why are we not even trying to use Townsend, even as a short yardage back? He's a fucking freak athlete. Sark is going to get Wisner killed or injured and we're only on game 6, which he finally broke the 200+ yard mark for rushing. Yay? He gave Clark 3 whole carries, and he was averaging 4.5 ypc, then pulled him. He's a fucking simp. The most pathetic, scared, easiest HC to scheme against. He does not make QBs better, he makes them worse. He hired his buddies and now we have exactly what you get when you hire your buddies - an O-line that could get dominated by Duncanville, but a recruiter in Banks who doesn't know how to use the TE's he's recruited. His ST are absolute parvo. I give him zero credit for Niblett. Niblett gets the credit for himself.
Our defense needs a lot of work in pass pro. Like, a lot. Only consistency is Taaffe (10 fucking tackles. Holy shit), Jelani Mcdonald (9 tackles), Muhammad (6 tackles), Littleton, and D. Williams finally back since ou seem to be the only consistent players in the secondary who knew where to be last night. And no, I'm not even remotely close to giving up on Littleton. He had an above average game for the second time this year, but has been consistently consistent overall this season (2 INT's as a frosh). People knee-jerked on him, and he had 4 tackles. Don't let the numbers fool you (6 tackles) last night and (5) against Florida, Gilbeau is Asswater. Our DL/DE/LB are absolutely elite (Ant with 12 fucking tackles. Holy fuck!). Zero question. I have no idea why they barely played Spence. It's as much of a mystery as why Helobious was cheering on Gonzalez for Kentucky. We have a Garza and a Cruz on our team. They finally allowed Simmons to let loose, which resulted in 4 tackles with 3 sacks (7 for the season), and while he needs to learn a swim move, he's learning as he goes. Sellers, I don't know. He seems like he sucks. Baker is getting it, but he still has work to do.
If we win more than 8 games this season, it's because of the defense.
Also, welcome back, Derek Williams!
