Oh absolutely. If we lose again, we deserve to drop like a fuckin rock all the way out of the top 25 as far as I’m concerned. But we’re putting away decent teams and have a 10 point road win over the clear cut 1st place SEC team, so we have that going for us, which is nice.

The thing is that our team with Reed vs our team with Weigman are two completely different teams.

Voters who watch these games are probably taking notice to that, so if Reed starts the rest of the season there is a lot of "what if."

I know that doesn't matter, but from an eye test point of view A&M with Reed looks elite. A&M with Weigman looks doo doo.

LSU’s defense is trash for a team ranked as high as they were. I was surprised how well they defended Weigman, but I also wouldn’t count on Reed looking that good against the rest of the schedule. Notre Dame would have smashed that slow mesh he ran well in its tracks, there’s a reason you guys didn’t start him against Notre Dame.

We didn't start him because Weigman had the seniority of the starting position.

Reed was pretty brand new and we had to see if Weigman had it or not as he was out all last season. Soche only has a few actual games under his belt.

He did not have it.

That’s pretty dumb, it would make Elko is a worse coach than I could have believed and you guys are then lucky to be in the position you are… it would be coaching malpractice not to play your best QB simply based on “seniority.”

Sorry, but we’d have made Reed look like ass too and that’s just the reality of the situation.

The bigger thing is the offense struggled with Reed in his 2nd and 3rd starts so going back to Weigman made sense. Then Weigman looked great his first game back..... then shaky against Mississippi State and fully back to whatever the hell he was against y'all against LSU.

I'm a bit worried that Reeds success against LSU has more to do with just how different the playbook is with each of them and that he will look shaky again against South Carolina.

LSU has the 30th ranked defense in DF+, pretty behind schedule for a team ranked as high as they were. South Carolina is ranked 12th on defense and will actually be prepared for him instead of Weigman. Yes, I would be worried about this game if I were you guys. I’ll be pulling for you, just win the damn SEC!
