103. Arkansas (27.7)
42. Texas A&M (20.0)

Statistically, the three best defenses on the schedule have been played already. 

Come on C J , you know our fan base is not into optimism. Do wish the three better ones left were not on the road. To add to your post, the three best D C are behind us or most respected anyway.

Some live offenses too. We’ll meltdown on here about the defense for a few weeks. It’ll be a fun change of pace

I'm so optimistic now I am about to pee myself.

Hope so. After watching yesterday, special teams and offense could continue their trends

Good thing we won’t see any good defenses to worry about if Texas makes the playoffs. 

Staff needs to realize the players we are choosing to play can’t run the offense as it sits.  We don’t have the o-line or qb to do it on a consistent or even semi-consistent basis.  Shorten the route tree, cut out the complex reads, maybe even cut the field in half….and run the dang ball more man, good grief.  

As for our specials, all of us aren’t wrong.  The product on the field is at best a net nothing.  

With the exception of Arkansas all of the upcoming opponents have more dynamic offenses (in some cases, MUCH more dynamic) than those we've played to date ex-Ohio State. I don't think we can count of the defense holding all of these to 14 points or less.

If they aren’t pushing for 40 burgers over the rest of the month, I’ll be very concerned. 

Even if it’s not real improvement at first, perhaps seeing some inflated scores on the board will give that offense confidence for when they hit the road in November! The important part about predicting a 10-2 record is that you have to lose twice

That's my hope

I wish it was a matter of being in a funk. Unfortunately this offense is a dumpster fire filled with money. I do think Cooper is a bright spot, but he gets the job done so Sark will bench him. But I do like your can do attitude CJ. Mine at the moment is more like…🤮

I'm just as disappointed about yesterday as anyone on here, but we weren't the only team that lost. The aggies and the fighting Lane Kiffins lost in horrible ways too. If they don't get it fixed starting next week, then I'll lead the pitchfork parade. 

Y’all ungrateful. I served y’all some of the finest burnt orange kool aid, and y’all want to lay up on here and be miserable. I’m a pray for y’all. It’s just me and @Bobby Burtonon this bandwagon. I’m 10 toes down in this. Just play ball.

I feel sorry for Florida. We are going to boat race them. 

Idk. Just play ball. Enjoy the process.

This is a good find, CJ. Also shout out to you for having the gall to question Sark in the media. 

As to your post, I don't know that it really means much. They had a ton of yards against OU but what does any of that matter when 9 of your possessions end in 3 & outs and 2 turnovers? One of which gifted them 7 points and another that helped them seal the game.

To me either Sark will figure it out or he won't. I love the discussions around this and it feels like we've been having them for years. That's the reality of it.
