Reminder for Mean Green Fans

[NT93]

My problem with SL was that, as a general rule, we weren’t competitive against good teams.  Yes, we usually beat the bad teams which is great, but we got spanked most of the time when we played a good team.

Losses by 20+ points/total losses 

2016: 5/9

2017: 4/5

2018: 1/4

2019: 3/8

2020: 5/6

2021: 3/7

2022: 4/7

Under SL, 25 of our 46 losses (54%) were by 20+ points.  

Things under EM just don’t seem similar to that in my opinion.

So far EM has 3 of those in 19 games (15%).  So you think 15% and 54% are similar?

Bigger sample size with SL. This is still unknown.

Frustrating loss! Really felt like it was winnable through the 3rd quarter and then Memphis got smart and went back to the run. Still drinking the green flavorade this morning, Tulane almost shit the bed against Rice this weekend, we can get these guys at home. 

I love a guy who knows his history. It was never Kool-Aid.

True, but pick any 19 game stretch* of SL’s tenure and the ass-whipping % is much higher than EM.

*I say 19 game stretch because that’s how many games EM has coached here.

Great perspective. Hopefully there will be a terrific turn out this Saturday. The team deserves it. I'll be there!

 

About the list of available players -- I get that you were using an old depth chart (Lott, Spruiells, etc.) to illustrate a valid point. Evan Jackson and Taylor Starling played last night though. Evan wasn't out there after the first defensive series, so I assume he got injured again. Ugh. There have been so many injuries on offense this season. It has been difficult figuring out who is injured and who has been benched at times. I thought Zach Evans was hurt again until he was playing at the end of the Tulsa game. Braydon Nelson started at LT out of nowhere against Memphis, but Larry Moore was on the PAT team. Eric must have been shuffling the line again. I'll just keep guessing.
