Marrone needs a college offensive coordinator, and a Division I QB. I hope Hunt is the real deal, that would take care of problem #2. Problem #1 is the real issue, and I don't see that changing unfortunately.

People can complain about the offensive line all they want to, but when teams challenge you with 8 men in the box EVERY play, you have to make them pay. At least once. Or you have to be creative.

The screen pass to Bailey against Pitt was the perfect call -- how many of those plays did we see all year? Instead, we saw about 1,000 rollout passes to Provo for 3 yards.

I also hear that our WR's aren't good enough to create separation consistently against D1 competition. I have seen Chew open, I have seen Lemon open, I have seen other people open deep and I have seen Nassib consistently miss them.

Also, when has Nassib TAKEN A CHANCE throwing down field on a 50-50 ball and allowed a receiver to try and make a play? Never, because he throws it 20 yards out of bounds. That, and we run the ball 9 straight times when down by 9 midway through the fourth quarter.

I'd love to give Marrone the benefit of the doubt on this, and that we will see some changes in playcalling when Nassib is gone, but color me skeptical.
