Damn what an absolute gut punch of a loss. I’m still a little pissed. That’s 2 IBs in a row at home that we’ve let slip away. No other way to say it. It sucks. A few things though:
1) I still can’t wrap my head around only rushing 2 and having a spy on Milroe on 3rd and a mile. Absolute coaching error on that part. That being said that’s a throw and catch that’s probably only made 1/100 times. Credit for that.
2) Cleanly field the muffed punt or just let it hit the ground and we might be celebrating right now.
3) I thought coaching was actually pretty good (minus the above point). The scheme on offense was fun to watch and impressive to score 24 against that team when your QB doesn’t hit 100 yards. Defense for the most part held up especially considering the lack of pash rush.
4) Thorne… He has gotten a lot of flack this year, some rightfully so, but kid played his guts out last night. Off the top of my head I really can’t think of any terrible misses passing. Still had a few issues holding the ball too long but he had some absolutely crucial 3rd down conversions. And he was a damn warrior running the ball late in the game. Played his guts out and left it all on the line last night.
5) I’m not big on moral victories at all. You win or you lose. But all things considered I’m proud of the effort this team put together last night. They came off an incredible low point in last week’s loss to NMST and could’ve easily folded after the first few drives yesterday.
6) RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT… we had an absolutely incredible atmosphere last night with some game changers on campus. We had ZERO business being in that game let alone having a chance to win it. Bama’s two deep is night and day compared to ours. If we close the talent gap just a little, you have to think this rivalry starts to swing some in our favor.
TLDR: Game was a heartbreaker and sucked. Let’s continue to close the gap in recruiting and the portal and see what happens. We’re not far off. Flame away bunk
