* @mods: Please move thread to FB section. Thanks * So, 605 total yds, 345 yds passing, 32/40 completion. So why am I still not sold on our OFF being a high scoring offense?? Because we scored merely 4 TDs (no passing TD) vs a lesser opponent. The running game is improved, Henderson is very talented, Jernigan-type of talent, Chunn and Anderson played solid as usual... however not sure about the passing game though. I am not impressed. We have so many weapons, and we don't seem to utilize them effectively. We are trying to get the RBs heavily involved in the passing game, but I am not sure this will work vs tougher opponents... however this is not what concerns me the most because I trust the coaches. However, it's the lack of ernergy in certain situations. In crucial situations, there is no focus, no energy, no leadership on the field. CNB doesn't seem to be happy either... Btw, Wash St vs Boise St, 47-44 in 3OT Akron vs UAPB, 52-3 Well, I saw 5 TDs scored. 3 by Chunn and 2 by Henderson. I also saw CNB Go for the 2pt conversion after the first TD. Therefore 34pts. FGs were missed. I member that. U Rah!! ..

NASCAR isn't about running plays as fast as possible. It is designed to get to the line quickly in order to keep the defense from subbing and making big adjustments in between plays. I believe NB has said he wanted to run a very high average number of offensive plays each game. Much more than regular huddling teams run and the only way that happens is cut the delay time between snaps! You have a clock and we often use it up without huddling. I've alway marveled that when we are behind and/or in a pickle as to time left, we really speed the offense up to accomplish more in that short period of time and it's amazing how much more successful our offense seems to be.

Isn't that the definition of the "Air Raid" offense? He did say they were going to do that when he took the job. Is it too much to ask to have that expectation to see it thrown deep every now-and-again? I used the term "anemic" in my description because of just what this poster said, we touted an "Air Raid" offense running played a torrid pace. When we do that we seem to move the ball well. I keep looking for that type offense scheme to appear this year but it hasn't and I suppose I assumed if it were ever going to be our trademark in reality this was the year. They stand and look at the sideline waiting A LOT and I wonder why. It was a generalization I chose of what I felt after Saturdays game against a WEAK opponent. With that being said, all those yards was against a team our third team could have beaten. They had just lost to TUSKEEGEE so don't put too much stock in those stats from the ASU game. I'm very excited about these guys and what they could possibly accomplish and I want them to live up to the hype for 2017! I just struggle understanding why throws deep across the middle are so rare? It would keep the LB's and safeties honest. It's much easier to cover the sideline and we throw into double coverage a lot there. In MY OPINION that's because teams realize we don't throw over the middle deep often so they can afford to put safeties to help on sideline coverage. We have a stable of running backs so it would seem to me that a rapid fire offense would wear out their defenses long before our offense if we chose to run "NASCAR". It's all just opinions on my part and what I see this site being about. No negatives intended, just observations. We will find out Saturday where we really stack up in the Belt this year. Well said. We have a stable of all "backs" offensively. And to quote another, lots of "toys" on offense. The team should be coached in a way to utilize all this. Give the team a chance.
