I'm sure this has already been posted but Miami jumping over cause they blew out a 1 win team? And we beat a ranked team that should still be ranked. And Missouri is still in the top 25. They've lost by 31 and 34. But the last 4 games are winnable. I hope our offense gets it's swag back with an off week. And I'm happy to see that BYU has worked their way into the top 10.

Miami day of reckoning is coming. They’re smoke and mirrors.
Polls are pretty inconsequential in this day and age. All you have to do is win and it doesn’t matter

They were mostly used for contain because PK was in bitch mode and doesn’t think Gbenda and Hill are good enough to spy the Vanderbilt QB.
PK is not aggressive. On their last drive to score, he gave it to them. He played contain, allowed the receivers to run around for 10 seconds, and Pavia connected. Not happy with him.
Sark has a finesse offense. I realize RB's are hurt but we don't run the ball at the defense. SEC teams play bar fight football, we don't. We throw the ball wide to avoid playing at the line of scrimmage. It's going to be a problem long term.
We rushed zero and dropped 9 on a 3rd and 10. It was the wildest shit I’ve ever seen
Look we took Vanderbilt lightly. We should have given them credit for beating Alabama, for winning 3 in a row. I think that why we dropped 9 which was ignorant we wouldn't have dared to do that against anyone else. Coach K is better than that.
Hey you were a former coach. Has a time of possession based offense always been popular or is this a new trend? Those 3 big SEC upsets were won by teams who had a big edge. It has really given less talented teams a better chance at winning. It isn't just the SEC it's BYU, Indiana and other schools. Bill Snyder's teams were built around it.
On the surface it doesn't seem complicated. Top, execution, few penalties and turnovers. Hey yesterday was the first time all season Vanderbilt had any turnovers. It's like they have a play that they'll run 4 different ways just like Snyder's teams. And of course it shortens the game for a defense just force a couple of turnovers.
You have an opinion?
Always been popular. It is even less now, but schemes are cyclical.
The ole Wing T, Slot T, Wishbone, Flexbone, I, split back, etc., etc. were all designed for winning the TOP.
Hal Mumme is who I consider the father of the spread as we know it today. That morphed into the, "if we score on more of our possessions than our opponent then we win"
As far as the throws close to the LOS and to the numbers on the LOS or behind it? Coaches that have that as a staple of their offense see it as a risk vs. reward. Generally, worst case scenario you're expecting a 3-4 yard gain minimum, which is just as good as a run between the tackles.
Another thing about TOP, it is more important to the teams that don't have the talent and dynamic skill position players, but just enough to bust some 20+ plays. Teams that have a major advantage in that talent department generally aren't as concerned about TOP.
As far as Snyder, he was an offensive genius and for my money, the one that perfected the QB centered run game. Zone read, or whatever you want to call it. Rich Rod sometimes gets credit, but for me it was Bill Snyder. Snyder believed in run to set up big plays in the pass game. But year to year, his pct of run/pass would change. What made Snyder great as an offensive guy, even going back to Iowa, is that he adapted to his personnel. He was a master. And I think you're spot on about Vandy and Snyder comparison. Tim Beck is their OC, which is hilarious because he was considered a disaster at Texas. I thought he was pretty decent given the fact the OL sucked and his boss was a douche.
Dead ball penalties are a sign of poor discipline and a lack of confidence. Holds happen. False Starts, illegal formations, etc. are all prep and discipline.
Opinion, I prefer a Snyder offense over a Leach type offense. I don't mind the quick screens and bubbles, etc. I like the risk vs. reward. And when you have a WR corps like we do, get those dudes the ball quickly and in space. However, Sark needs to make some adjustments are start implementing some extensions off of those staple plays.
We need #9 healthy at RB and to be what he is expected to be, or QE and O will continue to struggle in spots.

We have to be able to rush for 150 yards per game against any opponent, or we lose.
I guess i'm in the minority in thinking that the defense was really good the other day. Vandy only had 1 drive over 35 yards. That option offense they run is a mfer to prepare for. And Pavia is one of those QBs that just always finds a way to make plays. From what i've seen from this defense this year I am more than confident they are a good enough defense to win a championship with.
Spot on. Our offense is predicated on a legitimate run game that is a consistent threat. If we somehow had a Bijan Robinson level weapon in our backfield, we would be unstoppable and Quinn would have one of the highest QB ratings in college football.
We had Bijan in this offense, it wasn't unstoppable. The problems are a combination of Quinn being hesitant to hit receivers, the O line allowing too much pressure, and Sark being predictable.
I trust Sark and company know what they are doing. It’s always a game of adjustments and a scheme each week to try and capitalize on the other team’s weaknesses. Quinn is definitely hesitant but he’s probably also been instructed to not throw a dumb pick and just take the sack. Our RB troubles (injuries) have definitely hurt so we’re left with guys that can scoot but can’t block for shit. So Sark is scheming around that. He also has the luxury of having a solid D so that also plays a part in his play calling and schemes. Holding calls though have also been drive killers. At least that’s the way I see it.
