Yup, it's what army and Tulane did to us too. Defenses have our number and we have to pivot to something else.

Instead of whining, let's have a thread trying to deconstruct why our offense has fallen off for the past three games. I have a few ideas and it is probably a combination of it all. Feel free to share yours! 1) I suspect Chandler's throwing shoulder isn't 100% from the Tulane game sack. He was hitting out routes to the sidelines in his sleep at the beginning of the season and I don't think I've seen him complete once since the Tulane game. Obviously we don't really have proven QB talent behind him so he's trying to contribute still and play through it. I think E. Morris said it was a stinger in a presser and if it is, that is something that can come and go. 2) With the exception of Porter breaking a couple of big ones, the running game is almost no existent and makes us one dimensional. I don't think the backs are the ones to blame. The oline cannot consistently carve out lanes for our backs between the tackles. There were a few edge play runs last night that netted us 3-4 yards a play and I think that might be a direction we should go if the oline cannot create run lanes consistently. And the edge run game leads into... 3) the screen game. Teams know we love to run screen plays, it's very obvious from our film. E. Morris needs to change things up in this regard. Too predictable. The other problem with the screen game is it isolates the play to one side of the field, so if the screen is a bust (as was the case a couple of times last night), the safety valve is on the same side of the field where all the defenders are now concentrated. A lot of our passing and rollout plays tend to isolate one side of the field or the other and it makes passing lanes very tight or non-existent. 4) This late in the season, offensive playcalling hasn't changed much and it is predictable. Defenses are just better prepared for E. Morris' tendencies as a playcaller.

Like I said, you didn't have anything constructive to say.

You didn't say anything constructive either, you're just whining.

He's been an amazing young man for our team and a great ambassador for the program. Here's to hoping we can keep his brother committed!

Not to mention army had some form of holding on almost every offensive play

Yeah let's do something completely different and go under center, something this team hasn't done in eons. Take your medimucal old man. That said the play calling was garbage.

He's likely going to play according to this article.

I agree 100% but they run the ball and our defense doesn't have an answer for that apparently.

Have you seen our run defense stats?

Cougar Queen is so sad they have to come here to try to be mean. Meanwhile, it's gonna be close to a sellout this weekend. Enjoy your third rate program you desperate douchebager.

He said he'd have to review it after the game to see if it was the right call but he thought he needed to get the ball back in the offense's hands as quickly as possible.
