Did anyone else leave the two deep?

Almost the entire offense returns, you add speed and athleticism to the existing roster and you get this massive regression.

How does that happen?

Absolutely no improvements from their Sophmore years. Probably all got worse. I don't want to hear everyone else is more talented, we won with the core of this team as Sophmores.
 
Tell us.

I don't have any idea, it doesn't make sense.

And you see that individual plays that show they are capable of more than they are showing.

It's bizarre.
 
Why Is Nobody Open Most Of The Time?

Why Is Hunt So Inaccurate This Season?

Mackey hurts.

I knew we'd really miss Smith.

We can't afford to have both Broyld and Estime out.

Our margin for error is slim.

As bad as we looked tonight, we could have made this a game in the fourth quarter if we capitalized in the red zone.

People are open. He's being asked to make lower percentage throws. He's also forcing it into coverage at times obviously.

He's shown he's fully capable of making great throws.

When you get calls like the first toss you run all year is at the .5 yd line to AAM of all people out of the gun, that's not on the QB.

When you are down two scores in the 3rd at the L 40 on 3rd and 4 and go empty instead of playing for two downs to get a first, that's not on the QB.

When it's 3rd and 6 on multiple occasions and bring all out blitzes instead of playing sound defense that's not on the kids playing defense.

It is all scheme.. Bad scheme over and over.

You know things are really bad when you reply to a post fiercely defending the QB when the post you are replying to didn't even bash that QB.

The thing that killed me about that empty set was AAM in the slot. And that's who he ended up trying to get the ball to.
 
Fit the scheme to the players not the other way around. If we have to run the transitional option play 80 times because we can't pass, then so be it. But let's not be stubborn thinking it's all going to magically click on the next play. It's not. It's time for wholesale changes to scheme
 
Look it's obvious that GMAC is incompetent. He needs to go the defense is down right good the offense is just awful.

To be honest, there are people open.

But they are in the middle of the field, and we only throw toward the sideline for some reason.

Someone should run stats on sideline vs over the middle QB rating/results. Prob drastic

But the reality is this is not a well-coached group, you can see it in almost every facet of the game.

The clincher was the two minute drill before half. Honestly, there are section 3 teams that could run that better.
 
Am I remembering correctly? Jerome Smith could have been here another year but left thinking he wouldn't be getting as many carries? Or was he just determined to try the NFL?

I'm starting to think he had some additional insight as to what our philosophy was going to be.

He wanted to give the NFL a shot.

He averaged 4.6 yards per carry and had 11 touchdowns last year and people thought he wasn't a want less a need? Not being a football guru I never understood the dismissive attitude when he left.

They're not very sharp. The guys who were supposed to be better are offering diddly
