    Re: Slow It Down Football Almost Bit Us Again

    The defense is playing better this year. They are responsible for two of our wins (WKU and USA) and gave us a chance to be 4-1. Higgins and the O had to try to out-score everybody we played. Look at Texas Tech and WKU last year. This year's offense couldn't exchange TD for TD and keep us in those games.

    Like I said, there are reasons, but fact is we haven't seen an anemic offense like this since 2013.

    Honest question - if the receivers had held on to one of the 3 TD's they dropped and if Barnes had made the 43 yarder he missed - would we of still be talking about an anemic offense after a 44-16 win?

    Your point is valid. But we also know that South Alabama dropped a ton of passes too. And some were biggies.

    I agree that the Tech defense is MUCH better this year. And if not for this defense, LA Tech would be 1-4 right now. Take away the MSU game, and this Tech defense has held opponents to under 20 points a game (an avg of 19.5 pts per game). If you have any kind of offense at all, that kind of defensive performance will usually win you a lot of games.

    Re: Slow It Down Football Almost Bit Us Again

    I'm not talking about routine drops during the course of a game, we had NUMEROUS drops also and inopportune penalties that killed drives -

    I'm talking about definite SCORES that were dropped and a missed FG

    I'm not even talking about the fumble we had on their 15 which was big also

    Could of easily had 550-600 yds of total offense while putting up 50+ points

    Offense is close to being potent

    Didn't look too potent in the 2nd and 3rd qtrs. Didn't look too potent vs NSU until they wore down in the 4th qtr. And, it was practically non-existent in the MSU, WKU, and USC games.

    Oh, maybe it's because NSU's defense is just that good, eh? Nope. SLU hung 42 pts and 500+ yards on the Demons in the 1st half. Stop it. Our offense is anemic.

    Time to move on to Birmingham. How good is UAB? That's the concern now.

    Our offense looked potent against the Demons when they weren't turning the ball over 4 times...

    Offense looked good against SC - punted 2 twice? the entire game - just wasn't very efficient once it got in the red zone

    We have been rotating a lot of players on defense. If you watch Jaylon (like I do), you'll notice he was out almost every other series with 93 Immanuel Turner in his place. Turner DNP in WKU game.

    I think our starters will see more action. We've had over 30 players make tackles - I don't see cumulative participation logs. (some are probably special teams tackles).

    I think we'll see a lot more of the starters going forward and our defense will dominate the next 7 games. Hopefully

    Are you kidding? We only scored 16 points in that USC game. How can ANY offense be judged as "good" when you only score 16 points?

    Controlled the game and ate up the clock - except for the INT really can't complain about the production given the play calling

    We are not going to score 40 against everyone
