Bye week: Probably hurt us, Offense never found its rhythm (again!), this is our major issue this year, rhythm and QB/WR chemistry, OL didn't really show up yesterday, if our Offense had performed slightly better we would have won the game, yesterday
UAB / USA: They got 9 UAB transfers + the OC, I think this helped USA a lot, yesterday
QB play/Offense: I think it is a mind thing, sometimes Silvers wants to force big plays, his awareness needs to improve, etc
Defense: Played ok overall (Front 7 decent, Secondary not so much), Koenning-factor is huge!
Energy: Didn't like the sideline party atmosphere during the game (esp. early in the first half), the team should be more focused instead of jumping around "nonstop"
- We got very lucky yesterday, USA could have scored more points, but dropped passes and missed interference calls hurt them...

Ok so on the energy thing... Everyone was complaining last year we didn't show no sideline emotion from players or coaches... Now there's too much? Smh
This is not the issue.

Sideline energy is fine as long as it flows with the game. Jumping around like a hip hop concert for no reason serves no purpose but to lose concentration and focus on the game. Heard good and bad about it. I'm a little old school so I don't like it for no reason. Get excited on a td, int, big play etc but it's football not a p diddy concert

My seats are behind the home bench. With the exception of each halves opening kick offs, almost all of those jumping around during the game were undressed (redshirts ?) players who were essentially acting as cheerleaders. This beats the devil out of them congregating in groups along the sidelines and never looking at a play, which has been the norm the last few years. The bench is into the game, which is a good thing.

Get excited on a td, int, big play etc but it's football not a p diddy concert I'd have to agree with atlantatrojan. All this board (including me) did was complain that there was not enough energy on the sidelines last year. Now they are pumped during every game, even if they're down by 28 points. What's wrong with that? The players don't lose focus because of their jumping during music... it gives them energy and pumps them up. In high school we did that, and we jumped around, but it never caused us to lose focus... ever. You want the players to only show excitement during big plays??? Come on man, get real here!! If that's the case, then let's go back to having the same lame, unenergetic sideline we had last year... because all they did was get excited ONLY on TD's, INT's, and the occasional big play... If Troy didn't score a TD or make another big play this season, would you want them to just stand on the sideline without an upbeat spirit??? It seems like that's what you would expect.

Not there but have heard both sides. Some say it's to much other say no. I will wait till I see it later this season

We sit behind the home bench also. Players who aren't dressed out for the game provide the sideline motivation for the others who are playing. They also get up on the benches on third downs and try to get the crowd pumped up as well. I'm fine with it. This makes everyone on the sidelines somehow involved. Far different atmosphere from the past few years.

Really...We're complaining about how to cheer?? I guess there's a lot about football I don't understand anymore.
