Its early but that is my nomination for "Take of the day."

It's a lot easier to be effecient when you're perpetually 3rd and 3, 3rd and 5 than when you're 3rd and 12, 3rd and 9. We talked about this exact thing in the podcast.

We had a field day on a 20 yard field for most of the game. I thought we played a great game between the 40 yard lines.......

Coaches lost this game, not our players. Play calling was abominable and cost us a win in a very winnable game.

5. Our DBs are better, but still not ready for man-to-man coverage on a consistent basis.
6. Our team speed has improved immensely, but App State is still faster.
7. After watching the game, I still believe we go 9-3, at worst, which any of us would've taken before the season started.

This loss hurts, but doesn't discourage me. I still like the house analogy. Napier has laid an awesome foundation, the framing is done, now is time for the more skilled labor to take over. He has recruited a lot of this skilled labor, but there is no experience there.

We have an outstanding custom home being built, it isn't a mansion (P5), but it will be the nicest on the street (SBC) and probably in the neighborhood (G5).
