    I wonder...could BN be trying not to show too much? Saving the deep ball for the Georgia game? :D

    I haven’t really looked to see what the stats are but I know we are really bad on third down. I was assuming that’s because we were always in third down in Long but I guess there is a possibility that we can’t make third down and short either.

    That’s what happens when you throw short of the sticks and run into a stacked box.

    Seems like every deep pass has been overthrown by about 3-4 yards.

    Got it. I remember that. That's why I was suggesting to throw jump balls earlier because we have tall receivers that can jump up high. But I got served with bacon. Lol

    Maybe Napier could let Spurrier call the game this week to see how it’s done.

    Spurrier would chew out offensive linemen who missed blocks, too.

    A riverboat gambler like Spurrier doesn’t consult analytics before calling every play, that would be oil and water.

    Better that than underthrown. Underthrown being more prone to interception or getting the receiver killed.

    I wonder if this dink and dunk O is getting our wr's hurt. Just seems we have far too many of these guys getting injured while D are zeroing in on them. If not that it's either bad luck or perhaps our conditioning program.

    I expect zero change from CBN. Its not happening. I predict the game against Vandy is going to be one of the most boring games we will watch the entire season. Instead of letting it rip, he is going to continue to do what he is doing now. Do enough to get a first down. Hope its 3rd and short..score a few points here and there.

    Nothing to lose at this point. Let it all hang out. This team is not winning hardware this year and wasn't expected to.

    Once again I don’t understand why any of this is surprising. He was fired from OC by Dabo for, well, not being good. He also worked with McTeeth at Bama and under him at CSU.
