1.We lost because of turnovers true. Teams have turnovers usually because the opponent is more physical. This happened last night. 2. We are a top 20 team.3. Coots are ( sadly) a top 10 team.4.Our style of play is more finesse, which is what our coaches believe in. 5. Coots style has become more physical ( Spurrier used to be finesse and Nebraska whipped him 62-24 in bowl once). Bottom line to me is this: There will will be games ( LSU, Georgia etc.) where we might win against a quality opponent BUT we will ALWAYS get the COOTS best effort. Therefore there has to be a change in philosophy on recruiting more lineman and more physicality in our style of offense or we will remain a top 20 rather than a top 10 or 5 program.
any top 10 team wins at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. we must recruit and DEVELOP more pure o linemen to begin with. we seem to have made progress with our d line but we still have a long way to go there also. we need to become much more physical at the point of attack to be a top 10 program.
