Absolutely would not trust this punter. He has the slowest kicking motion I've seen in some time and the blocking has been abysmal. I think kicking the FG was the right call and the kicker was damned close.

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.

Smart and Day know that a big part of college football (not NFL) is emotions and getting young men fired up. i’ve said it before on this forum and it was ridiculed for it but contrast the game day styles of Day versus Sark. Day is running up and down the sidelines, yelling at guys and refs, and extremely hands on. Sark is quietly taking notes and reading his play sheet. The latter is what you want from an OC, not a HC. The team adapts the personality of its coach and it’s why I believe we often come out flat and stay that way for most games.

The offense had the same set of problems with Ewers. Too much reliance on big plays which means zero rhythm and lopsided TOP. The biggest change since then is our special teams have fallen off a cliff from being ++ to somewhere between below average to terrible.

I don't get the impression that Sark likes his QBs doing that. Too much of a control freak.

What exactly is Sark trying to do on offense? Ewers not a good fit. Arch not a good fit. Based upon what I know, KJ isn't a good fit either. If the offense requires Tom Brady to work we might be waiting forever.

Mora sure has fallen a long way. Nothing screams “has been” more than a former NFL coach taking a HC role at a bottom feeder college program.

Separating fools from their money since 2018.

Venerables reminds me of Charlie Strong. Nice guy and a good DC but in WAY over his head as a HC.

Not many playmakers on this team, or at least they're not showing up tonight. I can't think of anybody that has stood out.

QB draw with 1:40 and 70 yards left to go?

Maybe we should have tried running it earlier 🫣

It feels like we relied too heavily on the portal. I still don't understand why we fired PK or pushed out guys like Wisner. It feels like we have a bunch of random guys playing together rather than a team that has gelled.

Had a WR open right in the middle there. Jeez
