Is because of special teams. Kody bliss dictated field position in the loss to Auburn. Fumbled punt, missed field goal, fumbled kickoff, field position at the 5, Chris Jackson punt downed at the 1 only to be called back. If we had special teams ironed out before big games.. we may very well still be undeeated. Im gonna be sick tonight.
No more Chevis Jackson returning punts. No more dopey punt formation. No more toss sweeps to Hester against SEC competition.
It doesn't upset me because we have 2 losses. Its just very disappointing that this veteran team was a no show for a big game. The whole team including the coaches stunk this up. I won't take Arkansas or Alabama for granted because I don't think our offense is capable of moving the ball against them. You can look at stats all you want I don't care. I'm not going to argue about it, stats are deceiving just like our little discussion after the AU game.
Not all stats are deceiving, two quality teams played 2 losses. That stat tells you all you need to know and there is no way to spin it in a positive way.
How many times this year have we been called for the illegal formation on punts? The players have to excute, but in the end, it is the coaches.
