I don’t agree with this. No one else has been challenged like we have. We haven’t dominated, but when we had to perform , we did: 2nd half against OSU, answering score against Tennessee, shutting them down after the onside kick. When someone else does that against quality opposition, then they can make a case. Until then, I won’t apologize for our being No. 1. 

Because we allowed a 20 lead, played lax late to allow the touchdown, and missed the onside that hit one of our top receivers on the hands.

It’s incomprehensible that some of you celebrate digging out of the holes we create. Success isnt solving the problem you created. Cmon now. I’m still bullish on the season but let’s not ignore our obvious opportunities. 🤘🏽

Florida Texas gonna be top 8 matchup. Didn’t think that going into the year. Buckle up. 

Going to be a wild one for sure.

How much longer can Sark stomach the special teams decline?

Kickoffs falling short or out of bounds, line drive punts and punt coverage is slipping.
 

FG is going well now hopefully it won’t slip like the above.

I’m really glad we get Florida, Ole Miss and Miss St at home. 

Playing those Mississippi schools back to back going to be tough.

Many of today's forum coaches believe they know more about any program than the actual coaches and their recruits and players. Humility has surrendered to hubris for most CFB fans. SAD.

🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Come on now!  Anytime an 18 year old makes a mistake during a game, his coach should be fired later that week.  We all know this!

I really do not care. I am going by what my eyeballs have told me... And IDMAs at this point... Get to the playoffs and see what happens.

Nobody’s saying the staff is infallible, but calling the whole offense a failure after a road win over a ranked SEC team feels like heat‑of‑the‑moment stuff. Robertson struggled, Arch had rough moments, and Sark’s sequencing wasn’t sharp -- all true. But the defense bought them time, and good teams win ugly. The fixes are obvious and doable.

Actually, Baker struggled and it made it look like Robertson was worse than he was. Five OL is always going to struggle with a 6-7 man rush. Sark needs to make some adjustments and also help Arch audible out to a check down for the overload blitz. Arch has never been good with the check down.

the 20 pts lead was the result of mainly 2 specific turn-overs. Don't make it into something it is not. Without those freak turnovers we would not be talking about the 4th Qtr. One of the best running teams in the SEC was shut down by another SEC team. Our offense played one of the best SEC defenses and we won. We scored more points that they did. Do fans wish it was sexier? Of course, but we controlled the game. PERIOD. I agree, with everyone saying we must counter what Defense are seeing what is effective against Arch, but the reality is not many defenses out there except Georgia and maybe OU that can do that. OU has a worse offense than we do, and we won't meet Georgia until the championship game and possibly the CFP. Florida has a high powered offense but they have played us. Their defense is not that great.

Ohio st utsa tex st all undefeated when not playing Texas this year. Utsa tx st played each other

I love my Longhorns but they are not the best team in the SEC right now much less the nation.  Great that they are getting notoriety but UGA and UF are playing better ball right now.

lol. I started responding to each point but there isn’t one if you think a rb fumble and 2 dropped passes by “elite” receivers is out of our control. The odd bounce after it went through cam’s hands is atypical but it wasn’t a circus catch and one of Arch’s better deep throws this year.

Sexier is an odd comment. All folks are doing is extrapolating our current weaknesses to see where we might get tripped up.

I simply can’t comprehend those of you that want to wish away our vulnerabilities. It makes zero sense. It also doesn’t negate what we do well. What do y’all think Sark and team are doing right now? They’re, hopefully, pressure testing all of it after the 1st 1/3. 

Literally, recognizing our deficiencies is the only way we have any shot at a championship season. If one is bothered that anyone other than Sark and team has an opinion, disconnect your internet. We all want them to win. 🤘🏽
