Defense overall has been good this season other than the 4th qtr last week. Not sure if they were overheated and gassed because of the offense's ineptitude or what.

The offense needs to get their heads out of their butts. It was supposed to be the strength of this team.

We have Arthur Smith at the helm...

Why are we playing college games in England?

Now all the 1s should leave their pads in the locker room.

England is notorious for loving college football.

So far imo the couple plays for Bey have been sniffed out way to readily by the opp defense. Of course they know he's getting the ball most likely, but he's touched in the backfield way too fast.

I just don't get how it's possible we can struggle in short yardage year after year after year

I don’t know what’s up with Sayin, but damn he has take a step back from last year. He just can’t seem to make a decision with guys going into their breaks. Needs to figure out how to throw people open.

That said I didn’t know he could throw the ball 56-57 years in the air.

Certainly not as much progression from year 1 to year 2 as one could hope for.

half the problem is trying to get cute with 15-20 yard pass plays in that situation. We saw that on the recent 4th down, we saw it last week. If we got 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1, that's 2 chances to just have the QB fall forward, yet we insist on shotgun more often than not, starting 5 yards further away from the line to gain.

Dabo losing to NC lol. He's done.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

Team seems vulnerable in a lot of ways, can't lie.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Through 2.5 games (1.5 MAC games) the defense has 2 sacks. Not good lol.

Some might even say it's bad.

Our big guys have work to do.

I'm not sure why we tried to throw a screen to the rb on 2nd and 2 though that was a weird call. Either run or go for juggular there don't call a slow developing play at the line of scrimmage when everyone is playing up anyways
