I guess I don't understand your point.

The offense had 405 yards against USF, including about 300 yards passing.

And, if I recall correctly, there were three apparent TD passes that were dropped by SU.

So, I don't think it's play calling - I think it's a combination of talent and execution.  Do I disagree with a particular play call from time to time? Sure I do. But I try to remind myself that I have not studied tape, I know very little about the x's and o's of offensive or defensive football, and I do not know the specific attributes of my players or the opposing players. So, I try to stay away from the hackneyed "play calling" complaints.

I more frustrated by things that most on this board don't seem to address: (1) poor KOs; (2) stupid personal fouls; (3) poor tackling; and (4) an inability to truly pressure the QB.

No matter where you go, no matter what fans you listen to, it is always play calling that is the culprit. I think that's because we can see and understand the offensive play call. We can't see the defensive play call, for the most part, and can't see or understand things like OL blocking or secondary coverage, or least we don't perceive the subtleties of those aspects of the game.
