I have noticed that Coach Heupel is getting a little bit too comfortable just like Butch Jones did. I think we are seeing the first signs that he may not be the guy! His offense does not have the glamour and speed like last year. I notice this when we sit on leads and don’t have the killer instinct to finish the game with command. The play calling is ok but not exciting. There is no comfort when Milton has the ball. Milton seems scared to get hit. He has no play action and just stands there in a funk ALL THE TIME! Milton is not a playmaker like Hooker or Dobbs ..who would put the team on their back in crucial situations. Right now Milton is too soft and seems very immature. I do not see Joe leading the team down the field with 1:15 to go in the 4th and win the game. I am not sur Joe has the football IQ to be a star in the SEC or Big 10. he has already had too many red zone sputters and he just can’t get the job done. I really like him and at the County fair he would be impressive running one of the novelty booths showing off his arm, but chalk this year up as a good try but we are just moving down the totem pole every week even when we win. If we win 8 games the pressure on Heupel will start and the Recruits will begin to move to the big winning programs Bama, Georgia, Michigan & Ohio State. It all breaks my heart!
