Motivation is just as much intrinsic as extrinsic. Preparedness has little to do with hustle. No hustle, no effort, and most importantly no toughness. The coaches aren't out there telling them to pick daisies during the week.

Ok so let me ask you, which coaches did you see getting in their ass?

None(maybe Orgeron), which is why they also deserve blame.

Well, if the coaches don't give them something to play for and there are NO team leaders, we can expect shit shows on a regular basis when playing good teams.

Agreed. And there will be more than just coaches to blame.

Funny to me the defense didnt stand around last year aginst Ole Miss and Alabama. Hell even in the Arkansas game last year our defense ran to the ball. We just couldn't score shit

Same players this year as last year. Only difference is our pitiful DC

They're not puppets; they're humans. There is more than one component here.

The guy has gave up 20 points in every game but the Miss St game and they scored 19. Of all the defensive coaches we have had he is the first to allow those points in those games.

Fine i hope we keep him but i don't want to see you bitching about him next year when our defense again is horrible.

You've missed the point. Read my prior posts.

when players lose faith in the gameplan, their execution suffers greatly. this is what we have. cause and effect. they dont see results and are doubting their own play.
