In all honestly, I didn’t mind the offensive play-calling yesterday. Still need to get the tight-ends more invloved down the middle Of the field. JRP was/is the problem with this offense, especially because his best asset (running the ball) is negligible. He is a baseball player with athleticism. We need a true QB but will never get one with the Gus (run first scheme). If a QB wants to get drafted and be successful in the NFL after college, Gus ain’t your guy.
DEFENSE IS THE ISSUE! Addison may be a nice guy but he’s in WAY OVER HIS HEAD! You CANT have a first year DC in a P5 conference and expect to be successful. When your athletes are undersized, slow and weak (in comparison), you have to be creative with scheme. Our base scheme is obvious, predictable and conservative.
Final Thought: when our players and coaches were asked postgame, what was the other Team doing offensively that had us struggling to stop them? The answer from Malzahn, coaches and players all answered with the same answer “not sure…we’ll have to look at film to see”. Well…it’s a little late for that now but makes sense why we keep losing!
