tell him to not tense up with the lead int the 4th quarter.  i thought he was over this 4 years ago

“Why don’t you teach your guys how to get sacks while being choked from behind?” -Bohls

Ask him why he tries to lose the game with that Prevent Defense and conservative play calling crap!

Ask him about the refs CJ bet you won’t

I was so annoyed the Simmons was basically being held every play that wasn’t getting called.

Did they say why Simmons was not on the field the last couple of series?

Refs need to be turned in for horrible officiating! Between the Vandy OL line holding and PI on their defense!!

I hope he addresses the referees. We have Georgia coming up and they are the least penalized team in the sec. Plant that seed now.

Address the officiating.

They did miss a lot of calls.

Hope someone asks why Hutson was moved the LG for positive reasons. The oline and offense as a whole was very promising. Communication is better with Hutson in

Getting going now.

Sarkisian says this was the best protection Arch Manning received all season long after making the change of Connor Robertson to C and Cole Hutson to LG.

Says the run game is "making some progress."

Proud that there wasn't any TFL in run game.

Sark: "Defensively, we played well. You get six sacks, you get a turnover you get 10 TFLs, just a little unfortunate we gave up a couple of those plays late."

Ask him what took so long 

On the LG spot: "When Connor's played center for us, he's played well. Cole's history and experience for us has been at guard. And so, if that was going to be our best five for this game, it felt like that was the right move to make with."

Sarkisian says he and his team got too caught up in the officiating in the 4th quarter. He adds there is plenty of stuff he is going to want some explanations to.

Ethan Burke is really coming on. Hope he gets shout out.

Sark says getting Michael Taaffe and Jelani McDonald back on the field is going to be key for communication.

I think officiating has taken a step back. What i mean is college officials are what high school officials used to be. High school is about what you used to have officiating a junior high game and junior high officials are about like youth league flag football. I don’t think people  want to be an official now.

Sark: "The games in November are the ones they remember."
