I'm really hoping that the staff knows that the remaining teams on our schedule are going to both do what Troy and ASU did which is load up on the run and make us pass to beat them. It makes it especially tough when every team knows that Nunez will absolutely not keep the ball and be a threat on the ground.
At this point, running the read option is just increasing the risk of turnovers. Im sure there are more but I can only think of 1 time where Nunez actually kept the ball. What's the point of running it??Quote:

Completely unacceptable. We have to make changes with our offensive scheme when we have a QB that is no threat to actually read the play and make decisions accordingly. I know many people don't want to hear criticism of the coaching staff but that has been one of my main issues this season. Calais had 8 carries for a whopping yards because we tried to run him like we do Ragas which was right into the heart of the defense. We finally run a sweep left and he gets 9 yards. Get him to the outside. Just things like that we need to improve on.Quote:

Yesterday he could have run for a first down but stopped to see if he could go downfield. Not his best day of decision making. At home against weak defenses, he has shown he is capable of completing enough passes to keep the defense honest. That is especially true when Elijah Mitchell is available to help keep the chains moving off the swing passes. Our receivers are also much more likely to get separation vs the teams we have remaining to play vs the one we played yesterday. I expect the entire offense to bounce back next week.Quote:

Offense has to do their part. 3 points is unacceptable.
The "egg" simply refers to points scored and shape of the numeral.Quote:
