Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 138002, member: 628"] I'm beginning to wonder if 2010 didn't do more harm than good, speaking from a purely football "philosophy" perspective. Of course getting to a bowl was great from a fanbase and recruiting perspective. But slogging our way to 6 D1-A wins in the manner that we did seems to have sentMarrone into this strategic shift whereby the goal is to slog our way to being within a score late in the 4th quarter, and then try to win it. Knowing that we were going to have a below average D, knowing that Nassib seemed to be best when we were uptempo, and yet still insisting week after week that we were going to pound the ball on the ground appears to me to have been influenced by our 2010 "success". Totally understand that we don't have the horses, presumably, to be an Oregon or a Houston on offense. But we should be better than we are. Teams with less experience and similar-to-worse talent are better than us consistently on offense. [/QUOTE]
