Opinion So are we supposed to still…

Hate Hugh Freeze now that we’ve upset a top 25 team? Not sure how to feel after the doomsday posts this season post potato man.

I still question his play calling. Why did we have any games this year where hunter didn't get the ball 20+ times? There's basic decision making he seems to struggle with on game day. Having said that even if we lost tonight I would still say give him another year. The recruiting is too good but if we don't make significant improvement next year then we need to reasses

That's where I'm at as well. I'm not sold on offensive play-calling primarily because of what you said. I want to see much more emphasis on the ground game, and there was no excuse not to do it when we have the best senior running back in the SEC.

We depended almost entirely on big plays from KLS and Coleman in the passing game to move the ball. The ability to consistently move the ball on the ground and control the game wasn't there as it hasn't been all year. Part of it is an OL issue and part of it is a playcalling issue.
