After seeing us play in the first few games this year I was thrilled with our aggressive and exciting offense. Yesterday looked very conservative in comparison, more like previous years. I've wondered why the change, was it to protect Sims from making errors in his first big game, maybe a little soreness from his injury or a lack of trust in the offense to open it up more against a much better defense than we faced before. We still threw plenty of passes in the game overall, it just seemed more conservative and no killer instinct. The only real thought I had that bothered me some is that maybe OC Kiffin didn't really have as much say in the game plan. I don't mean that as a criticism, just wondering if that may be the case. The other thing I thought is the team just didn't seem up for the game. I guess I shouldn't speculate on things that I can never have an answer for. One things for certain, the team definitely wasn't ready for the game, injuries and sloppy play really sealed it. I've read posts talking about we have identified what to work on and so on, and I'll be as positive as I can because I know Or hope we are capable of winning out, but the weaknesses shown look to me like a seasons worth of improvements to work on, not a couple of weeks, that is unless we just played so far below capability because of some type of problem that affected the entire team mentally, which I doubt. I'm looking for a lot of improvement coming up, just as a note I agree with the posters saying we need to simplify some of our defensive schemes, it looks like our guys just don't have the confidence especially on defense. I don't know football like many of our experts on the board, but I can recognize when a team plays so far below its capabilities.
