We are trying to have a true freshman pocket QB throw the ball over 30x a game and expect that we are going to win that way. It would defy all logic as it is hard enough to be good right away as a QB, but when the QB cannot really run the ball it makes it even tougher and easier on the defense. Your feet can get you out of spots as a freshman, but to be efficient each week out of shotgun is not a simple task. 2 TD to 8 INT over the last five games is terrible.
Dana realized that we never take any short routes and were rarely looking at the middle of the field. I hope he sticks around because he at least can see the obvious. I still wish we would have run the ball more yesterday though. EJ, Dowdell each were doing more than fine with 5.5 and 6.5 ypc. It is also crazy to me that we don't get under center more often to make the defense bite on PA and also easier dump offs for Dylan. Regardless in time Dana is light years ahead of Satt who was an awful hire.
Why does Lloyd not play more? It's so obvious that he might be the fastest on the team and his hands have improved this year. He was the one guy last year who made the defense respect us deep. EJ might not be the most talented but he makes the right plays and can catch out of the backfield aka should have way more touches than he has so far this year. We heard a lot about Bonner only to see him stand on the sidelines, but he can block and is a hard runner when he gets the ball. Did Dana realize the obvious on these guys in two weeks time? What are Barthel and McGuire looking at? Rhule needs to take a long hard look at the OL and we will need a few portal kids who are capable. If he can keep Dana around I would then feel good about the offense next season. Run the damn ball!
Our defense is in shambles and we might have the worst secondary in the B10. I really like our front 7 but that isn't enough for teams who can throw the football. We were lucky we were in the B10 west last year. If we don't look good against Wisconsin and Iowa who can only run the football (with back up QBs) then it may be time for Snow to replace White.
