4th and 1 and we go fast. And stub our toe.

Going fast is now 0 for 3 tonight. When everything else is working - don’t do what isn’t working.

Basically our defensive scheme is showing a flaw.

We are bringing the pass rush - but giving 9 yard cushions.

The only thing available under heat is exactly what we are giving them.

DeRickey Wright just saved us. But things are a bit unsettling.

Then we went to downfield pocket passing - that leaves a target on our qb and stresses our o-line. Go back to quick routes. Roll out...

Nice play by Swann there. And he did find the open safety valve.

Midway through last night's game things were not looking particularly encouraging. I thought back to all those years when the SEC made us open with a league opponent. Dreams died early in many of those seasons. I am glad we got to open with four out of conference games this year. While we have set t...
