Bad - OL and DL play. We aren't controlling the lines of scrimmage right now and that just destroys everything else you are trying to do. I'm particularly unimpressed with the interior play on both sides. We not only don't get a push, but are often pushed back. This makes it so much harder for the linebackers (who aren't impressing either) and then we can't get pressure, which makes it much harder on our young patchwork secondary. I know we aren't a RTDB team anymore, but not running the ball is contributing to the inconsistency of our offense. We still tend to score on long pass plays or go three and out frequently, and we never held the ball for long yesterday, which gasses the defense. And that is not good with the defense struggling.
I think our best hope is that we can pull things together and scheme better, as hopefully this will result in some our players heads being screwed on a bit tighter and the coaches will scheme so that both units help the other. We need to regroup and make it to the playoffs at 10-2 and keep our recruiting class strong and not damage our portal prospects. Going crazy and firing coaches is not going to help this late into the season (as I've seen people say Womack should be fired!) and dissension in the ranks of the program will only hurt us for the future. I felt we'd have a bad loss sometime this season and didn't think we'd get past Georgia, but here it is. Vandy isn't a great team, but they run a system nobody sees anymore, and we aren't tooled to defend it, and damn me if Diego Pavia ain't a baller of QB, love that guy and his mojo!
Roll Tide.
