I posted that because previous post suggest our Offense & Play Calling was inept.  The problems were protection and the inability to punch it in.

Difference in total yardage tonight was the runs by Tknight ... contain him and its a statistical draw...but statistical draws don't count as wins or make Hogvillians sleep comfy at night.

The offense did enough to win this game, with the caveat of laying a couple red zone eggs - still wonder what taking 3pts in those situations would've done for moral and momentum - lackluster secondary play and an overall appearance of lethargy in the second half shot holes in the momentum.

Tonight reminds me of the pre-CBB efforts against Bama...it seemed we came in a bit intimidated and thinking we wouldn't win, surprised ourselves for a half, and then accepted the premise in the second half.

I'd really like to know if an entire week of hearing nothing but A&M love from everywhere quietly affected the psyche of our team.

Holy crap, they had almost 600 yards and only had the ball for like 5 min

We had issues in the red zone at the beginning of the season last year as well. If we get them worked out we will be fine.  That and cleaning up the dumb penalties.

and the dumb coaching.  how many times do you have to hit yourself in the head with hammer to realize it's a bad idea?

i didn't care for the hatcher carry, but it's a bit funny seeing the gripes about the play calling.

i'm wondering, rhetorically, if the double teaming on their DE's seriously affected our inability to gain in the middle........?

I think the game plan was fine.  We had some mistakes and he OL couldn't hang with their DL for four quarters. Having no idea what was called or whether it was coaching mistakes or failure to execute I can't really say either way.

We got worn down and drilled by a team that is supposedly perennially overrated and coached by a hot seat dwelling moron.  Our offense played keep away so our defense, playing in an air conditioned building, wasn't on the field all that long, but we were still gashed and helpless to stop them in the second half.

We're in year four now of supposedly "building it the right way" and yet Bielema can't beat the Aggies.  He's 9-24 in the SEC and the next conference game is against Alabama. 

At what point does reality set in?

How the hell do you get worn down on D when you only play 20 minutes.

Bad D, bad execution, bad D plan.

Here in Arkansas' Age of Allen, We have spent a lot of effort on protection. This has yielded us great stats and over the past 11 games, several great victories. In the next phase "The Age of Kelley" we will have our thirst quenched. Plus by then our backs and line men will have time and knowledge on their side.
O yeah the great Hogs of this land we call home. For when we land on the last day of this season three quarters of our foes will lay crushed at our feet. And the others will be standing at the final alter of the greatest four. O whoa to thee that doubts our abilities, since 500 yards was not enough, and two seven point swings brought on by the evil forces from hadies (refs). Rest your bodies relax your minds for from this small  area of our universe we will achieve great things.   

[EastexHawg]

Okay, Bielema is 7-18 in SEC games.  The point remains the same.  How that can be parlayed into outstanding coaching and building a program the "right way" escapes me. 

[Tejano Jawg]

Some things to note from JBCarol's stat sheet:

Knight and Williams combined for 321 yards rushing on 22 carries. Average 14.6 per carry. A first down and a half per carry...that's tough to give up.

We doubled their time of possession, proving what a meaningless stat that can be when you give up the big play over and over.

We ran the ball 40 times, passed 42. They ran it 37, passed 22. We should have thrown about 5 more passes. Ags probably should have thrown 5 less.

We had issues in the red zone at the beginning of the season last year as well. If we get them worked out we will be fine.  That and cleaning up the dumb penalties.

If they keep changing the offensive philosophy every time the Hogs get inside the 10 yard line by pulling every body in tight and trying to ram the ball down their opponents throats, the issues will not get resolved. If an offensive scheme is working a team should not abandon it just because they have the ball inside their opponents 10 yard line.
