SC upset. I never understood people's love of this team before the season. I didn't think they'd get beat by Stanford though.

All we need is a couple more teams to fall and there's a chance that everyone gets back in the loop. The targets mainly on 'Bama.. if they lose, fagetta about it... prolly get another 1 loss vs 1 loss Nat'l Championship. And yeah I just did not understand the USC love.

This offense makes me want to punch babies. Maxwell looks clueless, the OLine blows, and Roushar sucks at gameplanning. It's one thing to lose, but not putting up a fucking TD is just pathetic. Lot of work to do. Just lucky that it doesn't count as a conference loss.

Goodnight Ole Miss...

That Holy War is looking pretty good on the Deuce.

Maxwell sucks, he isn't showing any improvement. It's going to be a long season if we can't throw the ball.

I'd put more blame on the O-line letting him get pressured all game and some of the receivers dropping catchable balls and not making plays for him. Fowler dropped a sure TD early on and that really could've gave them momentum. Mumphries looks like the best WR of the bunch but they have all these weapons (Lippet, Fowler, AJ Sims, Burbidge, Arnett, Langford even if I believe he's listed as a RB) and someone needs to have some big play ability like Keyshawn was for us last year. And Le'Veon needs more than 19 carries. I know the game kinda dictated that we needed to pass as it was going on, but early on in the 3rd even it seemed like he wasn't getting as many looks as he should've been. No, he doesn't need 50 touches again. However, if it takes 35 touches, so be it. He's our best offensive player by far and we got another de facto bye week against EMU next week.

I'd save from placing the blame on Maxwell. They had a shitty gameplan (one deep shot to Fowler in the EZ and that was about it for taking chances early on) and the O-line was bad and banged up (Fontoni was out and I believe Jack Adams wasn't playing either due to health. We had some 4 year ST lineman at LG iirc). Not trying to make excuses for him, but the line had trouble containing 4 and 5 man pressure for more than a second or two. When you can put 7 or 8 guys in the secondary to clog up 3 or 4 passing lanes it's gonna be tough. I still thought he looked better today in comparison to the Boise game (where he had clear first game jitters and was way too overexcited) and frankly if they get the running game going again (and a healthy OLine) he doesn't have to be what Cousins was. I'm perfectly fine with him managing the game. The D only needs about 20-24 points a game to win convincingly.

tl;dr it was more O-line and Roushars fault than Maxwell for that offensive atrocity tonight.

There is definitely plenty of blame to go around after tonight's dismal offensive performance. Maxwell needs to stop staring down his receivers and go through his progressions. He seems to have his mind made up where he wants to throw the ball and either tries to force it in or get sacked waiting for his man to get open. It would help if the o-line could give him some more time though. Lippet is also very disappointing. He almost cost us the Boise game and didn't do anything tonight. I really want to see Arnett get more than 2 plays a game so we can see what he can do. I hope they figure something out next week or we will be in trouble against OSU in the B1G Ten opener.

at those dumbass Utah fans. Wish BYU hit the field goal to teach them a lesson.

Man, the SEC East may be the most competitive "conference" in all of College Football this year.
