I knew the game was won as soon as Carr broke off for that 68 yard td on our very first drive.

Littrell going for 2 the 2nd time in a row plus the numerous 4th down conversion attempts despite being in negative territory spoke that he was intimidated and had no faith in the defense whatsoever. If I felt that from behind the TV screen then obviously Holgerson and the rest of the team most definitely felt that.

problem also we are playing USM after a bye and SL's track record on games after a bye is not pretty, anyone remember the ODU debacle last year. 

The bold is starting to be a theme, or shall I say already a theme. His track record, outside of getting us pulled out of a dumpster fire, sucks in just about every coaching tangible. He seemingly doesn't prep his team well vs good or bad teams. Big games, ha, 'nuff said. Playing down to opponents, check. Being out coached on a regular basis, check. The other team coming out with more energy, visibly and in preparation, check. 

People have mentioned it a few times on this board, but when SL does not have a clear as day talent advantage his team does not perform to standard and routinely railroaded. When his team does have the talent advantage, and sometimes big talent advantage, he too often has to squeak out wins...Or even sometimes flat out loses.
