2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

Somehow my Facebook algorithms give me a sustainable dose of Swanky Wolverine, Michigan Diehards and Underwood Unleashed. Of course I am not going to follow them, but I will gladly become a voyeur to their now by the minute misery and bad takes during this their trying time (which I hope lasts a long time).
There's your problem right there

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Ehh? I'm not sure their passing game is very good. The QB completion numbers look great but the yardage is low. Which means he's throwing a lot of short high percentage passes
All I will say is this. You are not beating this OSU team without a QB that can consistently make small window throws. So if Mendoza is the only one capable I feel great about going back to back

He would have probably accepted a OC position with Southwest Missouri.

So Missouri’s offense is going to get even worse?

The smart move for SCum would be to just name Titty boy the HC for the next year.
Then do your investigation and fire Warde. Then you go get a new AD in place my mid 2026. Now you have 3-6 months to vet and shop for a new FB head coach and one that is the choice of the AD.
This seems so easy and obvious.
Even if you do not acknowledge the rot you have to see that the current AD is ass squared or as I like to say A2. And it is time to reload it all.

But to be fair. I prefer they remain in chaos trying to save face and deny deny deny the reality. Because it is collapsing and the only way to save it would be to reboot with someone who was morally squared away and who knows about honor and integrity. So I am hoping they keep Biff for a few years before they bring in some savior or former SCum player because you know that whole M$&@&& man shite as HC and watch it really burn
They are terrified of the transfer portal. Despite their culture culture culture talk the last few years they are terrified if they have an interim everyone worth a damn is going to leave. But they fail to realize if they hire a good coach next year he can also rebuild through the portal

Talent, Kirby, and people still fearing their past teams. I also think they’re very balanced, and Ole Miss’ defense is worse.

With the defense we have it’s a fair trade off for an offense that maybe needs more opportunities. Maybe the inefficiencies continue but then again maybe our defensive dominance continues too.

This is the exact "logic" a bad gambler falls into and starts making more bets when he's losing. "I just need more opportunities to overcome bad luck"

There is no way to equivocate on this, if you are having execution problems, doing it on volume is not a good idea.

A little off topic but I genuinely don't understand why people are so frightened of UGA. They've looked like world beaters in exactly two games. Part of me wonders if they don't lose to Ole Miss. Their last game was close at Athens.

Well to the first point you are correct, finish a drive with points is better than ending a drive with no points, I'm sure most people would agree with that.

Well to the first point you are correct, finish a drive with points is better than ending a drive with no points, I'm sure most people would agree with that.

The rest of what you are describing is an execution failure, not a failure due to pace. Each team is going to get ~10-12 possessions per game. The opportunity to execute your offense and score 27+ points isn't constrained by going at a slower pace. It's constrained by your execution.

So a 3-0 game is a higher risk to go against you, again you've picked up on the risk element of the opponent getting lucky while on offense but if you were efficient in your use of the 10-12 possessions you wouldn't have only 3 points.

If the logic doesn't make sense to you go look up the stats. The correlation between numbers of plays and scoring is low, something like .20 ish, the correlation between efficiency (EPA) and scoring is very high, something like .70ish.

Going faster while struggling with execution is the exact recipe to give your opponent more opportunity to beat you.
With the defense we have it’s a fair trade off for an offense that maybe needs more opportunities. Maybe the inefficiencies continue but then again maybe our defensive dominance continues too.

We’ll see what we do though. I think the best answer is probably in the middle. Certainly isn’t running hurry up all game but I don’t think these 8 minute drives are necessarily the answer either.

Will be interesting to see if we change our personnel approach in the red zone too. Also we don’t throw jump balls to JJ as much as you’d think either.
