Watching Georgia play is something. Say what you will about. Kirby Smart, but that guy can flat out coach and does not tolerate piss poor play. He’s animated. Fiery. In the moment of the game, always in the ear of his players, refs, and probably assistant coaches. And his team responds.

This tells the story right here.
are we really going to waste ANOTHER championship level defense while we have an Uncle Rico offense.

The last sentence is nothing more than hyperbole.

It's not at all, lol. Look at the evidence.
The Texas offense currently:
-projects to have its fourth straight year of scoring less points than the previous season.
-it currently has the highest 3-&-out drive rate of any team in the SEC
-Texas is averaging 1.63 points per possession in two SEC games. That mark ranks 103rd in the country.
It’s actually slightly impressive that the numbers could be this awful with as much talent as they have.
Okay. I am finally convinced Manning is a good QB, but not a great QB. Going to be interesting to see how Texas fairs the rest of the season.
If Texas misses the playoffs, I hope he is encouraged to move on to the NFL or to another college team.

Certainly not an offensive guru but a few things I noticed from other good teams that we don’t do well.
Our mobile QB doesn’t run enough: (Kentucky, Ga, LSU, Bama, OU, gaggie, Mizzou) to name a few teams with mobile QBs who utilize the QB run. It doesn’t have to be a staple but done well or even occasionally, it puts the defense in a bind.
The redzone drive at the end of the half would have been a great time for zone read after Cooper reales off three good runs instead of another up the gut for no gain.
No shallow crossing routes: against zone defenses, shallow crosses help move the sticks. More effective against blitzes than 10 yd puts or comebacks. We didn’t utilize the short , quick passing game enough yesterday. A game plan like we had against the Mich stud dts a couple years back might have slowed Mr. Stone a bit. IMO
Our receivers don’t seem to be good route runners or physical enough to separate. We don’t seem to have anyone except possibly Bishop who can work underneath well.
Joe Decamillis (sp) may have been the reason for better special teams play the year he was here.
