Feels like the defense basically gave up once the offense started failing.

I think Ricky was productive on the first two drives because we spent all week scripting the offense and we were bailed out by penalties.  Once Duke saw what we were doing they adjusted and it became very hard for him.

We really need a running QB and while he's athletic, Collins did not look comfortable or good at running.  It's a natural quality and it's just not his skill set.  He can certainly get better but not every highly rated recruit is going to be a successful starter.

It's easy to fall in love with backup QBs we've never really seen but at least mix in Luke Carney.  The one play against Colgate he was fearless and aggressive running the ball.  He put up video game numbers starting four years in Dallas, TX albeit at a smaller school.

Dungey played a little out of control but it opened up so many opportunities for big plays.  We have all these stud receivers but if you can't get the ball to them quickly or accurately, drives just stall out.  McCord was the king of 12 play drives with high percentage passes that would eat up the clock.  Angeli was trending similarly.  Now we're back to the Dino days where just completing a pass is work.
