They are trying to make him something he's not. QB development is questionable, but will give them another yr to see.

We are taking his natural instincts out of his capabilities to make him a pocket passer and has limited him (esp since he's pressing too much to be all world).

Wild that E.J. Smith is the Ags leading rusher at halftime with 16 yards

Klein needs to quit trying to turn Reed into a pocket passer every game. Play Reeds game and get creative.



I was yelling that at the TV before I left the room.

I hate Klein. He can plan out about a drive or two and then reverts to his normal **** calls

Why do you run a punt block play right there? I mean it worked from the standpoint we had a chance to block, but it didn't seem like a good time to go for it. Also, the coaches should teach the kids to dive in front of the punter rather than run into the punter while letting him complete the punt and miss the block.
Because it was going to be a touch back with no chance of return. Good call bad execution


When you are consistently bad at execution, that's not a good call.

Ags have scored 14 points in their last 6 quarters. This season can't end soon enough.
The Offense has only scored 7.

Should have never went back to Connor, let Marcel get all those reps in the middle of the schedule.

Makes sense. Me personally, I would just want the ball back with 2+ minutes left before halftime with all timeouts remaining plus receiving the ball to start the 3rd. Seems unnecessarily desperate at that point in the game to go for a block.

Yep. This is probably the worst sports school in the country with regards to resources put in and expectations. The hall of champions is pretty bare.

I find it odd that Reed doesn't typically have long explosive runs. He's quick and makes good cuts but I can't recall many long 30+ yarders

Another wild stat..... the Ags had 78 yards on the opening drive for a TD. We have had 78 yards the rest of the ENTIRE 1ST HALF for a total of 156 yards. That is simply pathetic

Reed is slight. If they play Reed's game he is liable to get injured.
I agree that I probably am not calling heavy QB run play for the guy we are preparing to start next year in a meaningless bowl game, but the lack of creative usage for him after Moss went down and with the offense obviously needing a spark was disappointing. Needing to maintain 10+ play drives to score every drive is not a likely format to win games, and it caught up to us down the stretch in SEC play.

BAS is strong in this one.

Let's see
We won the women's tennis title last year
We were in the finals of the CWS last year
We have a top 12-15 basketball team this year
We have been in the finals four of women's golf the last four or five years.
We have won 8 natties in T&F in the last 10 years.
Etc…

Yeah, we suck at all sports.

Fire Klein. He is a total clown. Always will be until he leaves and become great somewhere else.
Yeah, it's Klein making bad choices on where to throw, throwing bullets instead of having some touch on deep balls and letting 4 rushers be 6 blockers for a sack...also dropping passes.

The plays are there, the QB is just not good right now and neither is his supporting cast.


Sure thing Coach.
tell us you know nothing with out telling guys you know nothing.

go back and watch the Film Room reviews on Texags. with McGee...he's points out the same thing game after game about Reed, even the wins he makes the same mistakes.

That's obvious but it's getting borderline that you need to use a different qb with Klein because you can't fit a square peg into a round hole. Which really means you have to get rid of Klein asap if he's who you have running the offense and has missed on these things so repeatedly

You typically don't get massive lanes to run with if you don't have vertical threats to carry defenders downfield.

Cool. How many natties in sports people actually care about the last 85 years?

With only seconds left, why not try a long pass. Maybe it's caught, maybe it results in a PI, maybe it's incomplete, or maybe it's intercepted. If intercepted how likely would it be returned for TD? Trying sends a message that you do want to win.


If we had used our timeouts we would have had a minute and a half left


If we called timeouts USC would have ran the ball more and scored.

Everyone calling for Elko's head is ridiculous

If Elko can't get it done here, frankly no one can.

We are fortunate to have Elko. We need him to adjust his coordinators, but besides that he is a damn good coach.
Give him some time.

Funny enough, this is honestly how 90% of college football has looked this year. Just an incredibly down year for college football talent, as will be noticeable come draft time. Some of that is likely portal related, it is harder to develop cohesive units and develop talent in this atmosphere.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this is ultimately just an adjustment period, but let's be honest, if the expanded playoffs hadn't have kept so many teams in the hunt this late, there would be much more talk about how the quality of college football being played is just down bad.

Additionally, the uneven schedules within the super conferences created more distraction from the drop in quality of play.

Not impressed. At all. Playing against USC's 2s and cannot dominate the lines.

May have to depend upon USC giving this game to us to get the win.

And, Riley is buying his ticket out of LA.

When you are consistently bad at execution, that's not a good call.

It is the perfect call when you're about to be pinned inside the 10.
