I think that most of have said they believe what went wrong

with our Tigers this past Saturday, and I have my thoughts and an opinion what caused our struggles against Louisville.
I could be wrong and if I am I don't think that I'm all wrong. The Louisville game was a game that our starters and backups had to play the entire game. They haven't played an entire game since the UGA game bc everybody we've played since the UGA game we have blown them out really early and the Ones and Twos were kept on the side lines right after the start of the 3d quarter and that's been the case every game after the UGA game. My thoughts are that our guys bodies weren't conditioned enough to play a full 4 quarter game against a like Louisville with the ability to come back and score on us as quick as they were doing, and by the middle of the 3d quarter on their bodies were completely out of energy and they just couldn't keep up with Louisville.
I think that by Dabo playing a lot of guys for development reasons is a good thing, but I don't think that pulling the guys that will have to play an entire game should be pull out of the game as much as they had been since the UGA game. Play development guys just a couple at a time each week, but not so much to where our game ready guys don't get to play more that a half of a game bc when they are needed in a complete game, they're not conditioned to play a full game bc our starters did look out of gas by the end of the 3d quarter. They don't get that kind of conditioning in practice...

This take would make sense if we didn't look like poo until the end of the game

I think we for boat raced by a better coached more talented football team built with good recruiting and good portal usage. I think we got shown that we aren’t anything special anymore. I think we will lose three or four more games this season.

we were in trouble.
When asked why, I simply replied, "We aren't into this game 'cause we think we've already got it won!"
Our team and staff bit into the hype aided and abetted by inflated scoring against weaker opponents and failed to understand some of our close wins against LV in the past. We also failed to appreciate the blow-for-blow game they had against Miami.
It was all a recipe for disaster, making us look incompetent out the gate. What does all that allude to? Discipline...discipline...discipline. It was the same thing that happened to Texas A&M against the Gamecocks: they thought they had that game won before their plane landed in Columbia, and we know how that turned out.
Tell you what: I think we got blindsided by LV, knocked on our asssses whatever, and couldn't figure out a way to overcome it. That's on the staff and team leaders.
Lastly, we'll find out Saturday what this team is made of when they take on VT.

You are correct. It is on the staff, then the team leaders. A team competing, not only for a conference title but the playoffs does NOT get "blindsided" by an unranked team regardless of who that unranked team played prior.
Louisville should have been taken out early and left no doubt. I refuse to believe that they weren't "into it" due to overconfidence. Louisville dictated every facet of this ballgame that I saw and our coaching staff had no answer except to continue with a game plan they had already devised.

That does not explain how we played in the first half, and 3rd quarter. Not at all.
