Don't you get tired of throwing coaches under the bus over and over again?
 
Tell us please how you know that there was poor playcalling last year? Were you in the huddle? Were you in the booth? Were you in the game plan meetings during the summer and in preparation for each game? Did you have access to the game plans? Did you watch coaches film? Did you attend even one practice?
 
And about that poor production.
 
Didn't Bailey have over 1000 rushing?
 
And didn't Nassib establish a series of season passing records last year? And didn't Provo set season pass receiving records for an SU TE? And didn't Alec Lemon set or approach a season pass catching record last year with 68 catches?
 
These are all decent players, but hardly the talented players that are need to dominate a defense.
 
It seems that even with a modicum of talent, the offense, though it was no dynamo obviously, had some solid moments last year due to proper scheming and solid coaching.  
 
And by the way, who exactly was "porous" last season?
 
Who did we play who had less talent on defense than we did on on offense? Cincinnati? Rutgers? USF? Pitt? Louisville?
 
All of those teams had more talent than we did and all of them are picked ahead of us this year precisely because all agree that they have more talent. 
 
Over the past two years, the one team we played that seemed to have a "porous" defense was K-State. And I recall that our offense moved the ball up and down the field and I think scored 37 points. And that was with Marcus Sales and Delone Carter, both of whom were gone last season.  
 
Sorry, but your hackneyed complaints about "play calling" and your humanitarian sympathy for the poor players who have been so unmercifully "thrown under the bus" are just not accurate.
