Question, should we scrap the fast paced offense for the moment?....

I mean the offense has played like crap the last 2 games. The OL can't seem to block anybody and the WRs can't seem to get any separation from the opposing DBs. Yea, that's not totally surprising against LSU but to a mid-level WAC defense? Even the Auburn game doesn't look that great when you realize that Auburn's defense is almost at the very bottom of all D1 defensive statistics. Don't know if its just a lack of execution or if we just don't have good enough personnel but if its execution maybe we are going faster than some of our players can keep up with assignments, especially the younger guys. Until we see the offense get more productive it may be time to slow things down for them.

I'm sick of watching us trot the offense out there for less than 1 minute. Seriously - I'm sure there have been times we've gone through 3 plays in literally less than 1 minute (real time). The defense barely gets off the field & we're running the punt team out (especially if your Jonathan Banks).

I love the hurry up when we really get to moving the ball, but I wouldn't mind us taking a little more time when we first start a possession.

the Oregon offense doesn't work till you get your first first down. Till then you're just hurting your offense AND defense if you punt right away.

the LSU game was well, LSU, and that dog just wasn't going to hunt. As for LaTech, since when are we a run it up the middle and pass across the middle type team?

We need bubble screens, options, slants, shovel passes, **** like that got us where we are. I did not see the option run once against LaTech. That's what's unacceptable, not how fast we get to the line.
