I am like most of you. I am not happy with our football record. I really like most of what I saw Saturday against Virginia by the defense and special teams. We had a young corner that did not react well to his assignment but I am sure that that can be repaired in time one way or another.
Everything gets down to the offense. Coach has accepted all of the responsibility for their lack of performance, both players and coaches. The assistant coaches and the players must accept their responsibility for their lack of performances as well.
The offensive line gave, for the most part, adequate time for our quarterbacks to successfully complete their assignments, whether passing or handing the ball off. Running the ball in our offense is predicated on the ability of our offense to be successful in passing the ball. Currently, defenses have stacked the box to stop the run, unafraid of our ability to have much success throwing.
Do any of you believe that our receivers lack skills necessary to be successful? Lots of speed, experience, and talent.
Do you believe that our head coach, nationally known for his offensive skills for his offense and play calling, has forgotten how to develop effective and potent passing teams? Not a chance.
It all gets down to our quarterback play. Both have shown their lack of experience in running the offense, under pressure. They have a tendency to hold the ball too long. They seem to not be able to lead their receivers and wait too long for them to come open. It is quiet different throwing in practice against our defense and throwing in a game under pressure. They just do not seem to see the entire field as they make their decisions.
There seems to be an "elephant" in the room that will have to be addressed. I thing that Coach Bobby knows this better than any of us. He will find a way to solve it soon. I have every confidence in him. Like I said at the beginning, I refuse to panic.
