Peterman repeating the phrase "this is a process.." in every interview tells me

They ran triple-option at least once against Stanford. Myliey kept it and converted on 3rd down.RoadDawg55 said:I think we have about 3 running plays. Inside zone, outside zone, and I saw a pitch once against Stanford. I haven't seen a QB sweep with lead blockers. No Gilby shovel passes. No option. Very few fly sweeps.
Part of the reason is probably because Petersen has placed a premium on ball security. He's also big on fundamentals and may not want to do that stuff until they prefect the simple stuff. We are purposely somewhat conservative, but the offense has been bland. I'm not saying get cute like Sark, but mix in some things to keep the defense off balance. The passing game isn't getting it done and the RB's at this point have been mediocre. Hopefully we open it up a little bit, especially in the run game because that needs to be the strength of this offense. The concerning thing is Petersen said they actually need to dial it back with installing the playbook. -

No reason to expect going backwards from 5-4 in conference.DerekJohnson said:With this schedule, if this team ends up at 7-6 and in the Humanitarian Bowl or whatever, then it is a poor job by Petersen no matter how you slice it.

Doogs, of course, will have no patience because Steve left Pete with a "9-win team and a full copboard of great recruiting classes" but the more I hear Petersen repeat this, the more I think he knows we're fucked and this will be a rebuilding process. These kids have obviously not been well-coached and even though Sark's record was shitty, it was a favorable record considering how shitty his teams were. Close wins over shitty teams, multiple blowouts each year where the team had no business being on the same field as the opponents, close wins over really shitty teams, and 3 "Signature wins" (USC twice, and Stanford) that had huge asterisks next to them and could have easily gone the other way (No, I don't count the "god's play" win over a shitty Cal team as a signature win like Kim does).
I think Pete, a disciplined, old-school football coach, walked into this job the first day and thought "holy shit, what has been going on here?"
