Since the butt fumble against Aggie in '14, no matter the coach, this offense plays like a turtle crossing I-85 in downtown Atlanta during rush hour.
What gives? I see other teams with talent and recruiting deficits that run their stuff and don't act scared of their own shadow. Goofy Gus. Plank Harsin. Huge Freed. All playing with their balls in a vice.

If HG doesn’t come in this series, I am disappointed.
And I am disappointed.

That was awful. We need Hugh to be a sumbitch and run his offense. If you have to have a QB coach, fine. Hugh trying to be CEO ain't gonna work. Just like when Gus tried to hand it off. Look at him now. Do your thing, Hugh.
It's gonna take time, I know. This year was always gonna be a washout of the Harsin garbage dump.

War damn six and the six. Hmmmm. This is good.

This was never going to be an above average year. But I do think this team can grow into something special by next season. There are a lot of nice pieces. Hell even PT may come back looking like Stan White finally did we he eventually ”got it”.

Thorne looked more confident but there were some iffy medium throws to the sideline that only Bowers or McConkey catch. He still does that reverse pirouette right into the grasp of an end that he chooses to ignore pre-snap.
And speaking of snaps, it would be nice if our center could reduce the trajectory of his snaps so our QB can at least make a reasonble hand off to a back.
We brought in our seldom used TE Frazier for a number of plays and Georgia just rolled the pressure to the weakside. Suggest we stick 235 pound Sean Jackson in there to solve that excuse. Not like we're gonna set the woods on fire throwing the ball with either QB so being shorthanded one wide receiver shouldn't make much difference when we are less than 20% on 3rd down efficiency. And Jackson is a relatively untapped resource that can break some runs and help us stay out of those 3rd and long situations. Don't know if he can catch a cold but he has to be a handful to bring down in open field.
The defense showed up and played admirably. Nobody else stops those two guys either. LSU has a stable of receivers and they love to air it out so maybe we can put together some long drives to keep their offense on the sidelines moreso than we were able to against Georgia.
The good new is we have a true weapon in punter Oscar Chapman.
Don't know the injury situation but hopefully with a week off we get some of our lame back on the field.

I know what you meant. But when I first read this I thought “we’ve been lame on the field for most of the last decade…”

Fuck me. It's end of times shit. I understood (or got the gist of), AND AGREED WITH, an entire jmar post.
Was pleasantly surprised that we didn't just bend over for the public rogering. Defense was mostly nails (Bowers/McConkey aside), but they absolutely do not know how to cover the little zone outside and behind the LBs.
Defense was noticeably better with Nixon, McLeod and McAllister on the field together.
I'm extremely surprised we were able to stay in the game despite our complete inability to convert a forward pass (88 goddamned yards passing). Fuck it, let's run the triple option (or some variant of it) and drop the pretense.
Atmosphere appeared to be raucous, the recruits were there en masse and we had AU superstars Chuck, Cam, Suni and Hurt all there to play host. Better days are ahead and I hope our fanbase can weather the losses that are going to start piling up this season.
