SELA Instant Reaction Thread

Jackie used to say you improve the most between your first game and the second game.

No way to earn an A against FCS opponent, so I’ll give them a C. Defense was one play away from pitching a shutout, and Will missed on some early throws he normally makes. Should’ve been a B.

Also, the jerseys looked great without the banner.

 

[3-2 Dawg]

This was Burrow, Chase, Edwards-Helaire, Jefferson, and company against a SELA team that ended the year below .500. Everyone needs to chill out

I'm tarred of all these big plays. Why can't we get back to 3 yards and a cloud of dust ? We just ain't physical enough. Will only completed 69% of his passes. What about the other 31% ?? And what was his longest pass ? 33 yards ?? Unacceptable. Far Barbay. He shoulda started Wright*******

Three yards and a cloud of dust is pretty much what the air raid is built on. The dust is just outside and not inside.

I predicted 7-5 to begin with. We have Georgia and Alabama on our schedule.

But we still will make some noise. We have some weapons on offense and they don't have to catch a pass first.

Fortunately don’t have Georgia this year

The big plays were nice but they also concern me a little the way they skewed the offensive stats. Will we be able to have those same types of big plays against the top 2/3 of the SEC? Will we be able to run the ball effectively against that top 2/3 without a running threat at QB in the game?

I was asking the same questions during the game. Glad I’m not the only one concerned that we only scored when added by a big play & didn’t score once without them.

Outside killed defense in the 1st half.

And somehow, only cost us 7 points

 

[Lloyd Christmas.sixpack]

So.. I should be concerned that we had successful big plays on offense. Right?

Really? Damn i hope we score every play. How can you look at big plays as a negative?

We aren’t getting big plays against solid sec defenses & showed no ability to sustain long scoring drives against an FCS.

Wow, that is a lot of assuming. Will revisit in a couple of weeks once we’ve actually played one of those solid SEC defenses. Neither of those things entered my mind after that game. I guess to make sure I understand, we only hit big plays in the game, but those plays weren’t big enough for us to pull them off against solid defenses?

My concern is can this offense drive 70-75 yards in 12,14 plays & get points when the “big play” isn’t happening. It concerned me that yesterday we didn’t do that without some 40,50 yard chunk play. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they happened & the offense has that ability, just concerned how it turns out when they don’t get them.
Kinda like last year’s basketball team, we couldn’t shoot the 3 & when defenses forced us to shoot them, well you know how that went. We’ll see.

This is making my head hurt. We had 11 possessions. We punted twice (1st and 3rd possession) and we all lost our sht. But then we didn't punt again, including none in the second half (turned it over on downs once). 7 of 11 possessions ended in points. I guess the players could have taken a knee once they'd gone more than 4 yards in a play, but their big plays because the defense didn't stop them.

Our fans during the Leach era: Too much dink and dunk. Not enough big plays. Boring offense.

Our fans today: Too many big plays. Need more dink and dunk.
