I'm wondering the same thing. Thank God we won, but them beating Miss State and a top 25 team and a loss to us in between is nuts. I will give us credit, we played a good game. Jennings threw the ball well, we played great run defense while running well ourselves, the receivers made plays and the staff called a good game. What the hell happened after that game and the 1st quarter of the Tulane game I'll never know. We just shut down completely.
Hud hasn't digressed as a coach. Five years ago everyone thought he could walk on water. Something or things have gone wrong. A teams talent can make a coach look real good or real bad. The bottom line is the team's talent has digressed.
Was he winning with Bustle's players?
How many HUD players have been drafted compared to Bustle?
Did he lose assistants that were good recruiters?
Is Hud just a poor evaluator of talent during recruiting process?
Was there more to the cheating allegations that have negatively effected recruiting?
Have the NCAA sanctions effected the overall talent level?
[QUOTE=charliek;950947]Good High School offenses like Indest's and Cook's are much more creative than ours. Ours is a collection (ever shrinking) of unrelated plays, none of which build on each other or set the defense up for future plays. They are what is left of the playbook that Hud thinks we can run without turning it over. Well success! No god damn turnovers....and no points. Risk nothing, gain nothing. That is the way of life, Hud.[/QUBTE]
Bingo.
South Al had a very depleted front 7. Our OL could compete against them, subsequently our offense clicked. NMSU was weak as well. Tulane and App are good up front.
Look at the rest of the schedule. We won't beat anybody with a halfway decent front 7.
Since we lost Quave, we have been impotent on the OL, and our offense has become incompetent to say the least.
Not sure if this was previously mentioned, but....
