Stuck in neutral....with the #9 rushing offense in the country? Averaging 6 yards a carry Is beck running for those yards that make us the #9 rushing offense in the country? A lot of it is the fact that we have a running back who is just that good...I think I could call an offense with AA and have them ranked #9 nationally in rushing.

The problem is that they are not settling it on the field. For example, the year we had the LSU/ Alabama rematch, LSU settled it on the field...They beat Alabama IN Tuscaloosa. Alabama had their shot to take down LSU and had everything going for them. The fact is they didn't get it done. Then we fast forward to the title game. Was there another unbeaten besides LSU, No. But should someone else have gotten a shot to take the crown, you bet. (Oklahoma St./Oregon) Anyone will tell you that it is harder to beat a team the second time. I know you will argue LSU is an SEC team. Correct, but we didn't get a chance to see LSU up against another conference's elite team. That is the point we are trying to make

I agree, I don't know if it is because we do not want to show our scheme or what. Calling has seemed pretty bland so far.

Miami was gassed. If you have the luxury of sticking with a between the tackles running game, this is the advantage. The fourth quarter is all yours. Miami was gasses. However, they were gassed because we pounded them in the mouth for three quarters before that. This is the reason you have to stick to your gameplan for the entirety of a game (assuming you are having some success). I am not saying run the ball 70 times a game and throwing 5. You have to keep the defense honest, but we were beating their front 7, so why change until they force you to?

4 days out from the game here are my "top ten" comments from the game and the season thus far 1. Can we teach our defense how to defend a WR bubble or tunnell screen? (We did a little better towards the end of the Miami game though) 2. We still need to clean up the penalties 3. We are not a team who should have to throw the ball over 20-25 times a game (15-20 would be ideal) 4. How many times can Gregory get chop blocked in a game before it is penalized 5. Although the O-line has been somewhat inconsistent, but Saturday gave us a glimpse of what we all want to see 6. Our secondary is getting better, I would still like them to find the ball a little better and play with more physicality 7. Two "young guns" of the year Gerry and Pierson-El 8. Ameer is exactly what we thought he would be 9. Criticize TA all you want, he has only lost 1 game as a starter 10. The mindset is changing in Lincoln

Great point, scary thing is I can actually see this conversation happening.

I have not yet either. I didn't order very early and am a new season ticket holder.
