This team should be huddling and trying to get first downs.  We don't stretch the defense (because we can't) enough to be a up-tempo offense.

But that's OK.

Settle down.  Huddle up.  Get everyone on the same page to turn 5-6 false starts to 1-2 per game.  Give your defense a rest.  Run AAM hard straight-ahead, use play-action, bring in Gulley to change the pace, keep everything going forward, once you've established all that the screens might work.

People forget that Marrone and Co. were here 4 years and prob really only got it right for 1.5 of them (I know, talent differential).

All that said, let's not sit here and pretend like great OC's are a dime a dozen….they are hard to find and harder to develop.  Let's stay positive and not run out a good asst coach who recruits well because he tried a system that works when it has the right talent (only, we don't have that talent).

Rutgers just hired a 68 year old re-tread and they look much better than they did last year…so that position is impt, but we have a guy that needs to develop vs. a guy who's 68 or a top young OC.

Staying positive and going to the Louisville game
