Dan has got to start playing wide *** open offense. We hardly ever take any shots deep, we don't go for the big plays. Where is the play where dak throws it to a receiver and the he throws it back to dak? Haven't seen that once this year. Averaging 17 points a game isn't cutting it. A good coach can win big games despite a average o-line. With all the playmaker we have there's no reason to suck that bad especially college football when teams today are putting up crazy amounts of points and yards. Same goes to diaz, he needs to coach the whole 4 quarters and not just the second half. I'd rather lose playing balls to the wall than some conservative crap like we've seen.

We have to figure out something on offense. If a TD drive is going to require Prescott to complete 5 to 8 passes; we're going to struggle to put up points.

Possible extreme measures...

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but looking at the next 2 games Troy & La. Tech + our need for a Physical Running game---get Elijah Staley a series or two.

He is 6'6 and 248 lbs and if we can want to do so much QB designed runs then do some zone read with him. Also he is a backup and practices with our backup RBs Lee and Williams (please use them with Staley).

Can you imagine the "OH ****" moment that the opposing Defense would feel? They get run over by 6'2" 230 lbs QB named Dak and get softened up, then a BIGGER QB walks on to field to run the ball at them.

This would allow for the "plus 1, extra blocker" running QB advantage and it would take pressure off Dak and probably help Dak from getting dinged up like he did late last year against Kentucky.

How about: DON'T FUMBLE

Two fumbles could have been the difference if we get TDs. Most likely going to get at least one going into the EZ at the 5 yard line for Williams. Bear had a fumble after a long play. Also, don't forget Coman's dropped INT. Don't fumble and actually don't drop an INT and you're talking about either an MSU lead or MSU with a chance to win or put it away. We also can't buy a turnover.

Turnovers (and lack of defensive turnovers) killed us Saturday.
