So don't run the ball basically ever? Keep throwing and stopping the clock?

Shurmur taking over play calling
- Thread starter Corey Trevorson
- Start date
It also doesn't tell you that Shedeur is the most pressured QB in the country and is taking a beating on a weekly basis.
That's why Shurmur had to take over the OL. If I see one more defender shoot through the A or B gap untouched while as many as 3 IOLs are blocking air, I might lose my fvcking mind.
Not to mention the absolute refusal to run the ball.

When you get 4(5?) turnovers, and only get (was it only) 3 pts out of those…the offense laid an egg. I’d imagine the defense had to be pretty frustrated as a unit.
The Bruin defensive front - knowing it could waltz through any blocking happening, it wasn’t a matter of when, but who would get a turn at knocking down Shedeur.

And in here!
And ****ing everywhere.
I am confused by this. He isnt running the Kent State scheme. He's running mostly a different offense designed around 2 (the definition of modified). Maybe he hasnt been adept at adjusting in game, or hasnt been great at this new scheme. But he's trying to change. Hopefully tonight shows some learning and growth with the two headed OC monster!

I don't think before I post
It will be interesting to see when they get some RPO QB's in the system.

It's too hard to build a dominant OL? Stop.
It is so odd to have a great QB and not use that threat to run the ball. But now that we show we are not committed to any serious run plays, the other team can commit 6 rushers
In one year of transfers… yes.
Still could be. Sounds like KJ is coming back.

Agree there-but that probably means calling a game the way Mike Leach used to wasn't a good idea, no?
You coach to what you have. This staff hasn't done that.
Have you seen the blocking on both pass and run plays?
On the play that looked like Sheuder got hurt, Tank (maybe our best OL) missed two blocks in one play. Barely touched the outside rusher, then was so out of position he should have been able to block the guy who ultimately hit Sheuder and missed him too.

We run the ball?
We had 11 rush attempts once again. Wilkerson avg 4.2 ypc, Hankerson avg 4 ypc
We saw poor game management once again. CSU: OT mistakes. USC: running clock to lose and TOs. Stanford: Not running clock, another OT blunder. OSU: pre-halftime idiocy, no onside.
Personnel decisions continue to mystify.
These are red flags above the position coaching level, folks. The pressure is building for next year with each game that passes without fixing these mistakes

I feel confident in saying that we would have run down the clock at the end of half, rushed over 25 times and (if necessary) kicked on onside instead of relying on our defense to stop the run if you had not ****ed up the fight song thread.
Shocking that essentially a rookie HC with new staff and entirely new roster who'd never played together has some issues. Jesus ****, people, this team is still miles ahead of last year's team trajectory.
If you were expecting a 1 year turnaround from the worst team in college football to a contender, you're ****ing nuts. The mistakes you're bitching about are largely covered up by talent at the top programs. We don't have the talent, yet, so even small mistakes are magnified.

Your little superstitions are no match for the power of buffs doom my misguided friend
It's very nice to have a team that can compete and I agree it's been a miraculous turnaround.
But the things most posters are complaining about aren't about a new roster and talent. It's about managing clock, play selection (that doesn't encourage other teams to tee off on our quarterback) and basic gameday decisions.
Not expecting a miracle, but the unforced errors over the last month have been pretty ****ing stupid.
Dominant is hard, serviceable isn't. How scrub programs like the goats have a serviceable OL year in and year out mystifies me.
Yeah, my concern is that Prime might just not be a very good game day coach. It was covered up at JSU because they had more talent, but he’s going to have to rely on his coordinators to manage their side and he has whiffed on the offensive side in year one.
