it definitely felt is arky game. We went on the road and were not prepared for the physicality of football, not just SEC football but big12 football. this team, coming of the bye just did not show like it gave a sh!t and got b!tch slapped by a below avg florida team. florida scored 10 vs Lsu, 7 vs miami and 16 vs USF all of a sudden can run at will and 1 WR back makes everyone including a below avg playing QB look like he is going to ask to up his NIL deal. I know we are "2 plays away" but it looked like we got beaten up in the alley. We could play another 4 quarters and we are still not winning this game. Very disappointing that both line got beat repeatedly.

I for one was really proud of Arch . He made some errant throws. But he made more amazing throws also . I was extremely pleased with his composure & his running ability. Seemed like our offensive line needs a reboot. Unless we get better, much better we won’t be in CFP’s i don’t think . Haven’t seen us play this poorly in a very long time. We made so many mistakes . we were so undisciplined . I know our players played hard & did their very best. It’s easy to place blame. That serves no positive purpose. I just hope our coaches can work with the team on eliminating undisciplined penalties. I hope our players show more discipline against Oklahoma next saturday. If not it’s going to be another long day.

The title of this thread is on point, just not in the way you would think...

LOL @ OP

Really missing last years leadership on the OL. Jake Majors and Kelvin Banks were such captains. Watching the MS ST game and Shapen is getting hit left and right and just grilled the OL on the sideline. I want to see that kind of accountability.

Where is the defensive pass rush? I knew the o-line was gone be bad. Where is the exotic blitzes and man pressure on the WRs? It’s the whole team struggling

Stupid wrong weather forecast made me push the score too low.

I agree. It is time for a change. I think a lot of the issues up front are simple personnel problems. The complacency in recruiting along the OL is what has bothered me the most. And it’s happening again in the 2026 recruiting class. Turntine is good, the rest seem average.

What I understand is these guys aren't hungry. Paid too much too early.

I think we will go 7-5, possibly being eternally optimistic. Anyway, Inam with a few on the portal and to what was a glaring need in the OL and hat went unaddressed. Really needed a couple of interior guys. Overall, for today , we had no fire in the belly. Do not know why as we knew this team with near equal talent was going to be playing all out. We acted like this was another bad Sam Houston.

It was an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. And I was wrong. Although I didn't write my expectations, internally I thought Arch would be MUCH MUCH better than he is. He has the tools there, but just can't seem to see things in real time once the lights come on. The season may not be over, but beating OU seems like a stretch. Our only chance there would be that all of OU's players break their ribs laughing when they watch the tape. It's obvious that Brooks is over-rated now, even if he does have potential. Potential just means you haven't done it yet. Ringo has a nasty habit of dropping passes that hit him in the hands. The stats mean nothing. Anyone watching the game from Mars and knows nothing about football didn't need to see a final score to know we got beat like a red-headed stepchild. Even the body language was bad. And I don't mean late in the game. I mean to START the game. Where was the fire. The excitement?

Shouldn’t have to rebuild with the portal available. Reload and go. DL was a disappointment today. OL is what it is, we saw three games of this and should have known.

@Tuco Ramirez Watching Clint talk to Tuco now. Gotta go back to 1966.

Lots of problems exposed today that it’s hard to have confidence that it’s going to get better. We looked like we didn’t come ready to play today and that’s concerning since they had two weeks to prepare. Florida prepared. There is sure no easy games the rest of the way. Even Arkansas will play hard because Texas is their Super Bowl.

I'm honestly surprised by how average Hill and Simmons have been. If Hill keeps this up, he will be back next year. Not sure if he's hurt or what, but he has been a shadow of himself. Simmons was talking all that before the season and he's got 1.5 sacks and not done much in the run game...lol. I just can't understand it tbh.

Last time I let my heart decide. Tried optimism vs realism. Lesson learned.

Fire Becton to start

I don’t think Texas is this bad. I think the biggest question is WHY didn’t Texas show up.

It was clear before this game just weren’t paying attention

I've seen worse from this program. I'm not bailing with seven games to go. Doesn't mean I accept what happened today, though.

Me too. I want to flush this one like the post-Thanksgiving dinner trip to the can.

Again, we weren't ready to play the damn game. Before the season I thought 9-3 was the worst case scenario. I'm thinking it's 6-6 now. Hill and Simmons were literally no where to be found. Sark can't figure out how to use a bunch of four star RBs. Can't block. Apparently WRs can't get open very often. It's bizarre.
