Anyone know of a charter bus/plane trip this weekend? Or anyone going and need an extra passenger to chip in on gas?

Hey bro, tell us what you saw on the line. What seems the problem? I always liked to hear your commentary
I’m still in the process of re-watching the game. Live it looks like we struggled getting push on some inside runs. I know Rattler missed a hot twice, and a back missed a pick up once.
The tunnel screen on the first drive was WIDE open, and both the left guard and center whiff/were late on their release. If they are half a step quicker it’s 6!
I was disappointed with the run game, for more reasons that none. 1. We went back to trying what didn’t work last year. 2. Lack of push. 3. no plays in space.
1. Last year. We tried and tried in the first few games to run inside and outside zone. The scheme never melded with our guys. Zone blocking is tough and it has to be in sync across the board and with the backs. A few games in we switched to more of a gap scheme (power/counter). Those schemes worked well, and in my opinion our OL is made more for that than zone blocking.
2. If you’re going to run inside zone as your primary scheme you’ve got to do one of two things, vertical push through double teams (think Alabama) or compliment it with outside zone and get backers to flow. (Think old denver broncos with Terrell Davis).
3. For the life of me I can understand why we aren’t doing more with RPO / option/ and two back sets….as well as getting our playmakers the ball in space….
when I watch our offense I see a series of formations and plays. What I don’t see is a bread and butter! What’s OUR play? I have no idea. We don’t have anything we hang our hat on…..and that concerns me
Great job bro, as always. So, at some point so we question the direction from satt or is it on the o line coach. I feel that it should be satt that needs to set the direction and go. We do look like a there was just a bunch of plays thrown in with a ton of 3 and outs. Other teams living in our backfield spells disaster. I swear I can’t stomach another year of O LINE woes
Our OL doesn't seem to have the "I refuse to lose" attitude when it comes to blocking their assignment. Again, I don't know if this is a scheme issue and they have to think too much or what. I know the guys want to win the game but this looks like last year all over again. (except for the Mayo Bowl) How was that game different and didn't we learn something from that game?
It’s some of both. It’s the OCs job to put together an offensive system that has base plays and plays that protect the base balls. Then mix in your screens and your specials and you’ve got an offense. I don’t care how many different formations you get in, which seems to be Satt’s MO. I rewatched the first 8 plays and we used the same formation once. It’s all a little much to me. But I’ve always errored on the side of KISS.
It’s also at the feet of the OL coach. If he can’t effectively reach the scheme that the Oc requires then they either need to change the scheme to something he is good at teaching or find someone who can teach the scheme Satt wants.
Reviewing the first two drives. We went 9 plays on drive one. Penalty free. First play was two back set. Play action. Hit Lloyd on a seems route for 12-14. Pretty good execution.
second play. Kind of a stack set. We flipped it out to the stacked receiver for a good gain. If he makes one miss it’s a big play.
third play kind of a blast play off left side. Not very much push from the left side and now I see why. The left guard and center were supposed to double team but LG left way to early and climbed to the mike back. Needs to get their hips together and rock that guy backward.
play 4. We lined up in wishbone and handed it to Bell in the A gap. Still not much push but it got a first down.
play 5. We emptied the backfield with motion. Started out in two by two or doubles. And ended with trips left. Had a double screen called. GA state stayed balanced so we made the right decision t throw to our numbers on the left. One guy misses a block. The left guard. If he makes his kick out. We are off to the races.
play 6. We lined up wrong. We don’t have enough guys on the LOs. But we got away with it. No call. We overload to the right and run a waggle pass that way. Fake the counter left. Hit an out route for a decent gain.
play 7. The speed toss from the gun. Not my favorite play and it didn’t work well. Bunch left. We crack with Y receiver. Who really didn’t crack well and pull the left tackle. The C receiver really didn’t block well and we got tripped up after a yard.
play 8. Trips right with a nub left. Double slant concept with a go from the inside receiver. (Dagger) is the west coast terminology. Looked to Stoegner and missed the throw.
Play 9 we lined up in trips right and tan mesh. Kind of mesh. Not air raid mesh but a version of it. Got some pressure and really threw it away.
