And yet sort of impressive to at least start. Was the coaching change rumor real?? :)

Seriously, they looked better, but to your point, they look like they could wear out too.
They do look better. Offense has to get going

And here comes the sacks…

Just need to keep A&M off the board before half time so we can come out of the half of the chance to tie. Absolutely imperative.

A&M does not have a dynamic quarterback. They're just stronger.

Pitiful performance so far. Very undisciplined. Defense looks lost at times. Offense is non existent

That's probably going to be your ballgame. We receive a kickoff with less than two minutes to go in the half. Right? With 52 seconds left, they have already gotten the ball back with no turnover and scored. That's sick.

The defense is gonna take a lot of heat as usual, but this offense is non existent. Defense has stayed out there all d&mn game. I feel sorry for them and Spencer.

Absolutely pathetic to have all these injuries. We're doing something bad wrong with conditioning in my opinion

Time to dig into the bag of tricks. Straight up dropping back Rattler isn’t going to work. Call QB runs, some wildcat, let Joyner sneak in a pass. Basically throw the kitchen sink at them.

It is because of Spencer that the damn defense has had to be on the field so much! A senior QB should know where to get rid of the ball! 3 grounding penalties is unacceptable!

Gotta slow down the rush. Where is the QB draw and some scramble runs from Rattler?

DLogg should have a safety valve pass option for Rattler to at least throw to that area.

True but it's that or get hammered. We have no Oline. One of the worst OL's in USC history in my opinion.

Might as well put 6 or 7 OL out there and run three routes.

Where are the roll outs? Staying in the pocket isn’t working. Stupid penalties are killing us. Repeated Intentional grounding and then a penalty for not giving the guy room to catch the ball on a punt?

We aren’t good enough to play stupid.

They have been faking and rolling him to the left, A &M has stuffed it every time. It’s time to throw some serious junk at them. With our line, run and drop back game isn’t going to work in the 2nd half. Defense is going to be gased halfway through the 3 rd quarter if we don’t do something. But yes, Spencer’s having a bad day. He is due. One guy can’t expect to carry the whole team week in and week out.

I still can't be mad at Rattler. He is single handedly carrying this team.
Carrying them to what? A 2-5 record? A QB with mobility would be the only thing that could help this team! Rattler is slow! Combine that with a piss poor defense and this team is just awful.

Their edge guys are biting and moving in to collapse the pocket. Every time…? Surely someone is noticing this and telling Rattler to roll out? He did it with great success in the first quarter. I know you can’t run the same formation, or call for the same pass plays, but do it until they stop you. Thoughts by some more experienced former players/coaches?

Everything is on track for 2-6, please just try to keep it from being a blowout.

When you have 3rd and forever....why wouldn't you just send Leggett deep and either he catches it or tries to draw a PI. Even it is picked off it is just as good as a punt.
