Poor offensive play calling so far

I can't understand that 1st down, delayed draw. It didn't work the first 12 times, no idea why Spav would think it would work the next 12. It's a good play....just not in this game. It just looked off all day.

Will seemed unsure whether to hand it or pull out and pass and that took away any burst that may have existed. Agree with OP, terrible play calling. I kind of wish that Dana was still running the offense.

Reminds you of RR in the infamous Pitt game. Sooner or later one of those 28 bubble screens was bound to break for a big gain.

I've seen high school coaches put together a better game plan. Re-watching the game, we were so incredibly predictable. All that talent is being handcuffed by sh*tty play calling by Spav. And I don't mean to be dumping on him but, it just is what it is.

When linebackers are outwardly running up to the line, not even disguising it because they're confident of what the call is, you've got a problem. I've nothing against Jake but, right now, he is not a good option for OC. Refusing to run Petteway, when he had a hot hand against a fatigued line late in the *** Tech game and then this sh*t show today.... it speaks volumes, man.

It didn’t help that the receivers were dropping catchable passes.

Without doubt, Eagle. It was an off day for everyone, no question. The running back corps was by large, unproductive and sluggish. Crawford needs to sit and get healthy again. He's hurt pretty badly I think; more than is being said IMO.

The defense was spotty....they did create some turnovers though. Too bad we did nothing with them.

And again, the play calling was a season low. I'm starting to sound like some o the people I argue with every week. lol Hopefully, we'll bounce back now. Hopefully.
