Let’s be real. This was sarks bonehead dumbass game that he usually has. Thankfully we’re good enough to win by double digits 

Had it not been for numerous miscues on the part of our players ---- drops, fumbles, off-sides etc ...---- this game would have been 49-6.

Glad Sark got to learn the points on the board lesson the hard way in this game where the outcome was never in doubt

There was also some poor technique that got taken advantage of. Everybody’s favorite badass Anthony Hill parted the sea for the TD on his blitz; Simmons got upfield a time or tea and then didn’t play the puller correctly a time or two. Anyway, lots to correct there. 

He blitzed his gap- what was he supposed to do?  That sea was parted by the hold on broughton as much as anything.

We can thank Cook for the missed block on Wingo injury. He drops TD pass then lazy missed block on Wingo screen. The catch later was NOT a make up. He’s selfish.

Sark talking with Craig post-game:

"I don't know who Texas' head coach is but he took 3 points off the board trying to go for it on 4th"

Admitting mistakes is the first step to correcting them

Maybe they do go to #1, but who cares? We're still #2, which is fine. Maybe if we eviscerate UGA we can vault back to #1. Regardless, #1 or #2 we're still elite.

No it was Cook except he didn't whiff, he never even moved up to attempt a block.

I saw bond on the back of that jersey, so Cook musta been wearing it.

Craig joked with VB about having a challenging week of football and also his young marriage which got a good laugh.

Craig brought up the joke he made with VB to coach Sark who agreed that marriage is challenging.  Lol.

Didn’t get to see the game because we don’t have SEC network at the shop. However, I’m looking at the stats and thank God Mississippi state is bad enough to where even with all the misses and miscues we were still able to pull away and win. What matters right now is that they won the SEC debut and have two weeks to prepare to stomp a mud hole in Oklahoma’s ass. 
 

Question: how many bonehead plays did Sark call?

I didn't think the offensive play calling was a problem in general.  There were calls here and there that you could quibble with.  Frankly, his worst decision was to take the 3 off the board.

I think we probably used Arch in the short passing game a little too much when he is more a deep threat.   Much of what went wrong on offense was self inflicted non sense such as fumbles. (See Blue) and untimely holding and procedure calls that made short yardage second and third down situations which were easily convertible more difficult.   

It was better to get our “shit game” out of the way now against an opponent like MSU and still win rather than later against OUsux and certainly UGA.  And heaven forbid that happened against Arky or aggy.    Every good team has one.   UGA is having theirs tonight.

He needs to learn to take the points. Even if it is only a FG

I didn't have as big a problem with taking those points off the board as I often do. MSU wasn't really moving the ball, and if we got 7 points after converting, they were pretty much done. Turned out they were done anyway.

Unlike Herman he will learn. He already admitted it was the wrong move.

[Hookem2147 21929]

I didn’t hate the decision to go for it. We were averaging like 9 yards a play at that point and were facing very little resistance. The call was just poor. Have a higher percentage play ready. I’m pretty sure we ran that exact stupid play on 4th down against UH last year and it was also incomplete.

You’re good. Usually we put the Texas game on, but more people wanted to watch Oklahoma Auburn, and on the other TV people were watching the Colorado game and we had a few people in from Milwaukee that wanted to watch the Brewers afterwards.

[mdmost 43846]

Shitty first half. An opponent that got up for us combined with getting in our own way and making mistakes. Previous Texas teams would’ve wilted. Sark has to take the points especially when they actually are on the board. I get Sark’s reasoning but I disagree when it’s there versus a chance at more. Blue needs to figure out how to hold onto the ball. He cost his team and his benching was earned. Defense was good not great. I think they weren’t ready for MSU’s running game. Can’t argue with 6 sacks and a turnover. Arch was great. His teammates let him down over and over but he kept going. This is a great game to have before OU to have things to work on the next two weeks.

tennesee 3rd. 
 

bama/georgia loser

Agree. Rewatched it. We would have at least 10-14 more points in the first half without mistakes (Blues fist fumble, Cook’s drop), not to mention the weird decision to take 3 points off the board (and that FG was due to back-to/back penalties on Helm). That’s at least 13-17 points right there, and that’s not even counting Blue’s 2nd fumble.
