This is bigger than first game jitters. Ole Miss barely had time to put an offense together and they’re slicing through us like a high school team.
You may be right but note three things. Lane Kiffin is an ass but he can coach an offense. Next, Ole miss is very quick at the skill positions. Finally, playing a gimmick offense the first game of the season is an issue. Let's see how we respond in the second half.
Every off season I get sad that Grantham doesn’t take advantage of a HC opportunity. He deserves one.
The excuse for previous years was Grantham didn’t have the players. Year 3, and nothing seems different.
Pretty clear the 2 weakest links on D are Miller at LB and Stiner at S. Both those cats have ZERO instincts. Miller has been awful his whole career. I can't imaging Hopper, Wingo, Pierre, anybody can't be more instinctive and assignment-sound, regardless of experience. Grantham's 3rd down D picking up where it left off.
I hope someone on our defense steps up It isn’t just you noticing, I think Grantham has mailed it in, he hasn’t called the right defense on 3rd down yet
