I think Hays describe BN's passing philosophy pretty well. Herbstreit also mentioned it live yesterday. The passing game is pretty much designed to fool the D and hope they make a mistake, lack the sophistication of a real, modern, passing game. It worked to a point at Sunbelt, but at higher level with better DC and more disciplined D, it hasn't worked very well, so far. And it's why in obvious passing downs, when the D is harder to fool, we're really bad. 1 for 13 bad (3rd and long), and the one accomplished in the 4th Q when Utah went preventive
Isn't this team that Utah team that is supposed to be the best team they've ever had? And isn't their defense supposed to be really good? I hope that's accurate becasue it bodes well for the Gators in future games.
I don’t know enough about football to attest if this is true or not. But if our strategy to win games is hoping the opponent makes mistakes, we are doomed before kickoff.
I'm no expert but the pump fakes last night were just bad. Like a straight jab from a dude with wrists bigger than his arms. You can't exactly ignore it, but it's not a real threat.
So our strategy/identity is based on hoping our opponents shoot themselves in the foot? Well, it’s our own dang team who ends up doing that C’mon bruh, I can’t believe we are back in this situation. We should be experts at this after having gone through 3, possibly 4, bad hires. If it smells like crap… it probably is
No, yesterday's Utah team is average at best, without Rising and the star TE. They were missing like 7-8 starters with a real weak secondary
BN's emphasis is on the running game. His passing strategy is so-so. Play-action based passing game is so 80s...
Negative. All offensive strategies are based on mismatches and the opponent making mistakes based on those mismatches. But doom away.
Big difference between hoping your opponent makes a mistake vs actively doing things that force your opponent to make said mistake.
This is literally what I wrote: But if our strategy to win games is hoping the opponent makes mistakes, we are doomed before kickoff.
NO, we shot ourselves in the foot. it means that our very fixable mistakes were not about the talent, or lack there of. We have a very good team that made a plethora of boneheaded mistakes... all fixable. But those mistakes will get worked out. I understand that some people expect perfection in the firs game of the year, but we need to play this year out completely before we start thinking about past coaching staffs and what went wrong with them. Give it a rest there were some very good things about this team that we should be looking forward to. Give the coaching mistakes crap a rest.
Besides offensive philosophy, he is slow at getting in play calls and doesn't seem to understand the flow of the game. Stark contrast to Mullen who made Trask a first round pick. His offense made Richardson look mundane and we lost our returning OL (I think). Hope to see improvement by SEC. But I am getting flashbacks of, "do you know what a midline is" coach. Every positive yard is a struggle.
Of course winning cures all, but there are legitimate concerns with the preparation and discipline of this team so far.
The O strategy is sub-optimal, the tactics is sub-optimal. The preparation is sub-optimal. The so-called fixable mistakes belong to the tier-3 "preparation" category
Last years Utah team was better and at full strength and we found a way to beat them. For all the doom and gloom from last year we at least could hang our hat on beating them.
What's funny is UU had the perfect example of this on their first play of the game. Put Moten in a position to have to pick the under cross or the post over the top, and he made a mistake.
