Let's discuss our offense, or lack there of. We expected our OL to be inconsistent this season. Most us are not surprised that Wyoming and NDSU each beat our OL consistently. Good thing is, the OL is young and it takes time to get in sync, so it will continue to improve. Against solid defenses JJ and rest our offense has very little opportunity to execute. Why is that? It looks to me it goes beyond the obvious OL inexperience and youth. Our coaching staff is not helping anything. Hell our Offensive staff cannot get out of it's own shadow.
This is not about the style of play they have chosen but the play calling in the chosen style. This staff needs to help our young OL and JJ with implementing more quick passing, with slants, ins, outs, hooks and drags. Defenses know most our routes are long developing, and very seldom do we have short quick routes of any sort on most plays. This offense does not try or know how to open up the middle of the field. This was a problem for most of last season as well, even with an experienced OL we relied too much on long pass plays.
This staff cannot continue to be this stubborn. A young OL needs to be helped a lot more by better offensive play calling. We have a SR QB, and damn fine skill position players. They are not able to be effective until this staff learns to change their strategy. Is this offense so predictable and lack of creativity makes game planning easy against our Offense?
It is a damn shame we have OC's holding back a very good SR QB with plenty of talent at skill positions. I'd love to have a offensive staff that calls a game like EWU, MSU, or Sac State calls. Is this staff ever going to stop being stubborn offensively?
I'd love to hear what others have to say. Let's not use the bring back Pflu style either. I really don't think the style is the problem. It is the play calling and lack of creativity.
