Seems to go down with the first contact. Timid as well.
That screen pass after we got the penalty and it was 2nd and 25 was the penultimate fail. He's got one guy out there to beat and a blocker in front of him and he runs right up the back of the blocker and allows the single defender to take him down. Half the people on this message board could have made that guy miss.His play in the open field with the ball this year has been embarrassing so far. The O line is to blame for the rest.
I thought I might be the only one that thought Perine has been so-so at best.Sure, O-line sucks but wtf was that?
You nailed it Zambo. He's been awful, and the tough kid from Georgia has been much better.That screen pass after we got the penalty and it was 2nd and 25 was the penultimate fail.

I have to agree about Mullen, though I think you're going to find out you've underestimated Trask. His playcalling has been particular awful. I don't think he really trusted Franks.I didn't see him calling audibles. My guess is Cousin Eddie Moron knows he can't play option with Trash and went to the pass. That could be a good thing.
Im just wondering why our 6 million dollar man didn't it figure out by the third series versus scUM.
Then again, he ran the option for 25 straight games before he finally let Chris Leak pass vs OSU. I've learned to never underestimate the bullheadedness of a moron.
Kintucky had a garbage secondary BEFORE they lost their first 2 safeties and put true freshmen on the field. SOS would have scored 60 or 80 versus that. We just keep "trying to establish the running game" (and putting ourselves in 3rd and long every damn series) for the first three and a half quarters of every damn game.

Really!! He got hurt because he couldn't connect with anybody on a 3 yd forward pass.He trusted him with sideways passes.
The bench is a coaches best friend. Start Pierce, light a fire or sit and stew.
Mullet won’t do it though.
Sometimes we see guys that were part of a great tandem and just assume they’ll be great on their own, especially in a feature year. But it just doesn’t always work out. Mit sure whether it’s the OL, his reads, or something else, but this is clearly not working.
May be time to play younger guys like Pierce.
His new hesitant running style is not helping. Pierce has shown more flashes because he just plows ahead full steam.Leave Perine in. He's not been the problem. The moribund passing attack has. That could change with Trask taking the snaps.
