So, what was the glaring difference between this year and 2013 again?

[engie]

Seems the "learn your lesson and let it play out" was beat to death a couple of weeks ago about a few of us...

Still weeks to play and games we aren't likely to be favored in -- but this one cancels out the bad loss to South Alabama. Still not where I'd like for us to be -- but back to where we can talk about bowling.

Looks like we are going to be sitting in the exact same spot heading into the Arkansas game -- and mirrored in the fact that the season really seemed to turn against aTm. We lost the game to Manziel in college station but was pretty clear that it had turned our season.

Cohen yelled at Dan and used potty language. As a result, you saw Dan display a lot more emotion and desire on the sidelines. Good to hear his voice worn out after the game---a true coach's voice should always be that way after the game.

I still question our Offensive play calling---we should have won by 14 points or 21 points today. There is no damn reason to run the ball down TexAss A&M Faggies throat at will AND THEN decide to throw the damn ball into the endzone---2 INTs in the endzone and 1 missed FG because of that dumb *** play calling.

But overall I am encouraged.

Stop saying that "we are young".

We have the players & Talent to beat the #4 team in the country.

We also have the Coaching / Play Calling to lose to South Alabama.

The vast majority of big plays on offense and defense today came from freshmen and sophs. That makes us young.

Faggies really? We scored 35 against the SEC's 2ND best defence. He's not going to make the right call 100% of the time, but today he did just enough no?

Redshirt Freshmen like, Mixon---so 2nd year here---so yes he is young.

But Redshirt Sophomores like Fitzgerald, A-Train, McLaurin have been here for 3 years now---so not so young.

Exactly! Saying we are young is not an excuse it is a fact and they are starting to make the difference in our game.

We need to give game balls to Fitz, Aeris and the entire defense.

Agreed, we should use the word inexperienced.

Would that work for everyone?

That is still young. Period. What has Fitz thrown -- 500? -- game passes in his life now? And McLaurin is a true soph. Fitz just did what Dak could not do as a RSSO. In fact, he's done every single thing -- to this point -- that Dak had done at an equivalent career point. Our "prisoner to the last 5 minutes" crowd just can't see things for what they actually are.
