This is exactly why us and the players are frustrated

No guts to try and go score at the end of the half. Look at the players react to the timeout.

Agree completely.  You get great field position, then do nothing to try to get any points whatsoever, it could be a huge swing and morale buster if you score there, then score again after the half.

[BartIV]

I was very confused about that especially that screen pass. Very odd.

[Al Boarland]

Does AA really have to complain after every play that doesn't work out?

[PorkRinds]

You can't speak for the players.

[TheEnemy]

With 5th yr senior QB!!

The coach has zero nuts and he needs to be canned!! We will lose this game because he just showed no faith in our players!!! And they expect people to pay money to see this??

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Why didn't Sumlin call timeout before the 3rd down play?

[razorsharptusk]

Coaching. Problem.

[BartIV]

Why didn't Sumlin call timeout before the 3rd down play?

Battle of the minds between these two. Pretty ugly.

Can you just shut up.  Probably not. So that is your answer to the question you asked. 

[Kevin]

it is a race to the qb every time we try to pass. no need in a bad turnover there. we get the ball to start the half

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Not exactly Bobby Fischer vs. Boris Spassky.

why don't you just shut up!

Do you have to complain about AA's complaining? 

[Hogwild]

Why didn't Sumlin call timeout before the 3rd down play?

Because we had really good field position

[TrueBlue]

The love for AA on Hogville is completely confusing to me. Almost as confusing as AA looks on every pass play this season. Dude has NO confidence right now.

[AirWarren]

Coaching. Problem.

Austin Allen. Problem.

They need to get that stopped.  Acting like a brat. 

[HiggiePiggy]

And who do you think is the cause of that?  Maybe a coach that has no confidence in his self and a offensive line coach that is getting a free check? 

[TrueBlue]

Austin Allen. Problem.

Run the rest of the game with Chase in the Wildcat or Kelly in as QB. It would give us a better chance.

No a kid that looks like a statue on every play or gets happy feet and takes SACKS when there is no reason to take a sack. Get over your AA love.

[GunnerHawg70]

I've been pulling for AA to have a monster game but I'm agreeing with you and that's not good when you have an All-SEC 5th year senior as your QB...

Hot Mess... he costs us ...

Actually the protection improved alot when they took Clary out.

Amen Hallelujah Brother!

What confuses me is grown men judging kids who are actually on the field seeing a lot more about what is and isn't happening on the field.
I suspect a lot of these grown men either never played or only had the point of view provided by the bench on the sideline or in the stands.

[12247]

Sumlin didn't call he because he has a bunch of freshmen he doesn't want the pressure on.  BB didn't call time out because he doesn't trust his team and he knows he hasn't  prepared them for it.

[welchog]

Good reference!

[livevanguy]

Run the rest of the game with Chase in the Wildcat or Kelly in as QB. It would give us a better chance.

Agreed. Kelly gives some new energy when he is on the field. Give the young (and big) kid a chance.

[HognotinMemphis]

No guts to try and go score at the end of the half. Look at the players react to the timeout.

ZERO confidence in converting 3rd and 5 at end of half. Calling timeout with 45 sec left and ball near midfield makes all sense in the world yet we do not do it.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Sumlin didn't call he because he has a bunch of freshmen he doesn't want the pressure on.  BB didn't call time out because he doesn't trust his team and he knows he hasn't  prepared them for it.

So basically the same reason for both.

[hogcrazy2206]

I am sick of whining Senior leader on the field.  Quit making excuses and get 1st downs............

[hogcrazy2206]

Why do they not keep running wildcat???

[hogcrazy2206]

Why is he still the quarterback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't see him blaming everyone else on that throw...................................
Fire Bielema and take Austin Allen with him since he loves him sooooo much

[justasportsfan]

All this is true, but what about giving up 50 points?  Im not a fan of AA, I feel for the kid though. CBB could give his QB some help with some DEFENSE

[davglo35]

I will never bash a player...ever! Bielema is the head coach. This is his fault and it's Long's fault that it's Bielema's fault!

[hogpc]

Accurately describing any players play is not bashing.

Now what Einstein?

[MaconBacon]

After the 3rd or 4th sack, better plan to roll in every play. I don't think he got the memo

[Atlhogfan1]

The first down failure dictated the rest. AM had 3 timeouts left.  We were going to run on second down in that situation.   

[Tuskya]

I agree. I'm totally frustrated with the lack of urgency at the end of the half. No excuse to let the clock go. We had a great KO return. I'm also frustrated with the sacks -ridiculous, but we got better.
On the other hand, we scored 43 points against Chavis in regulation! Not bad!
