As long as TMAC is here a lot of the same issues will continue to happen. Although a better coach would probably have 1-2 more wins this season.
UAB and LSU. Moo U has an offense when it clicks and a mobile QB, which means even if our defense plays a good game against them we were going to have to score a decent amount of points. We barely scored. Their defensive strength is upfront on the line which didn't play well for us, because we don't have the ability to back them off the line with the pass.
LSU actually set up better for us this year. Their strength is the secondary which meant we should actually turn up some yards from the line of scrimmage, which puts you in shorter passing downs, which is better for our QB. If you get lucky and things click and you actually get some positive downfield passing plays then you are even in a better position to beat them. Plus LSU always seems to be a slow starter during the early part of the season against good teams.
While we have some good players the depth that SEC teams have over us also makes it less likely for us to challenge a them later in the season.
Also don't take it to mean I think the Moo U loss was our defenses fault. You can't be on the field that long, and hold up against superior talent at most positions. That game was a complete failure on offense for us and there are only two factors on our team that play a part in every offensive snap. Skipper and J'Mar.
