What's Up With The Offense?

[gundy1124]

Some things that are or went wrong offensively - compiled from experts and anonymous sources

players - some changes coming this week on the O-line.  Clive might be back sooner than later, but not this week.  Will hopefully see guys in space more with the ball.

pre-snap  - too many calls and checks causing player confusion, missed assignments.  We will have to simplify.

preparation - our guards reportedly couldn't hear our QB until the 4th quarter, we need another way to operate in these situations.  Should have prepared as such.

scheme - we have a lot more plays in practice, must of lost play book on the drive down.  Need to create an advantage somewhere.

play calling - on a scale 1-10, 1 being the most predictable and conservative, we just scored a 1.5 over the last 6 quarters.  We need to bump that up to a 4-5.

adjustments - we don't seem to be making any, or we are not keeping up with the defensive adjustments

confidence - missing

A D-2 ndsu, yes

Pretty sure our D-2 offense put up around 40 on the road against FCS Northern Iowa.   I would totally wholesale change that offense out with this one for just this year if I could.  That offense would have gotten more than 61 yards last week.  We keep talking about our offensive line, and rightfully so.  So was our offensive line that beat Northern Iowa, who were all D2 recruits that much better than our current O line who are all FCS recruits?   If so...that seems kind of sad.  Hopefully we bounce back this week and look a lot better.

Good think we ain't playing Sioux Falls this year.
