    I was trying not to be skeptical before the season. Now I'm convinced it's a garbage offense

    I expected the offense to be limited in 2020 given that Donovan didn't have a spring or real fall camp to install his offense for a RS Frosh to run.

    The fact that the reply says that this is what he ran at Vanderbilt and PSU means we're stuck with this until someone gets fired

    Running an offense or a defense by the numbers (down and distance) is obviously intelligent but there is no such thing as “we knew what they were going to run, but they executed so well and the were such animals that we just couldn’t do anything to stop them”

    dominating player intensity leading up to big moments in a game and the riverboat gambling aspect of creatively busting tendencies is what defines great to good coaching

    Even when it looked like it was going well this has been a defining liability for the last few years so we will see if the staff has the guts and intelligence to demonstrate this level of sophistication

    Not to be a Debbie downer, But we haven’t seen it yet so I am not holding my breath

    There’s truth in this but some things that just don’t pass the smell test to me

    Saying we’re predictable in running on early downs is entirely accurate … that absolutely needs to change with more play action and capitalizing on deep shots

    Criticizing the use of the TE is insanely FS … if you have someone like Cade you absolutely should be utilizing him

    What’s interesting in the analysis is the conclusion that UW was effective offensively …

    The bones of what we do can be effective … but we need to tweak a bit how we do it

    Helfrich as OC?

    Yes, please.

    He’s available.

    I wonder why.

    Puzzling.
