Yep. Im sure Stoops would love to get more plays in. But that requires moving the ball and getting first downs, something we've struggled with.
SIAP: Cincinnati was 4th in total plays this year. Kentucky was 107th

Sure there is a chance you can go 3 and out and put the defense back on the field by running the hurry up offense. Don't you think there is also a chance that by running a hurry up offense that we can catch the defense off guard and potentially complete more passes or have some more big runs? You all are automatically assuming running a hurry up offense will lead to more 3 and outs and not more positive plays by not giving the defense time to sub or adjust. Being an underdog requires you to take chances and not play like the more talented teams and just be able to milk the clock and win.
Yes preseason it was said the the offense wouldn't be a tough transition but when push came to shove the offense was nothing like Brown's. Brown's offense is predicated on short routes to the perimeter. Hitches and outs mostly and it was more effective in hiding the weakness of our offensive line that was incapable of holding long blocks.
Dawson's offense was predicated on vertical passing routes off of play action. Plays that took much longer to develop and it exposed the weaknesses of our offensive line and crippled our ability to sustain drives. That's probably the biggest reason why we weren't able to play fast.
The offense was nothing like Brown's and anyone with remedial knowledge of football could see that. For someone that knows so much about football I didn't see anything in your response that would hint that you know a thing about it. More attacks with no substance as usual. I don't post much in the lair anymore because of trolls like you. Everything devolves into a pissing match
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha:joy::joy:[roll]
kay:Agree. Where some of these people have come up with this is beyond me...It is like a wildfire out west the way this myth keeps spreading..
Couldn't make first downs..Play calling was atrocious. That has as much to do with it as anything. And Stoops wasn't calling the plays. Idiot Dawson was.
This Andre guy is a piece of work. Good Lord.
The jokes write themselves lolHahahahahahahahahahahahaha:joy::joy:[roll]
As I said. You words are that we had to learn an entirely new offense. You are wrong, no we didn't. There may have been some different wrinkles and stuff like that but it wasn't an entirely new offense. And you were the one who started the personal attack? I was just being honest.
That's really the bottom line. Playing fast when you don't execute well and can't consistently move the chains just means more snaps for your defense. Even with the seemingly endless depth we have on the D line, that's a recipe for disaster.....
I'm not going to read all of this because after the first 2 sentences it's just proving how unintelligent you are. The team, the coaches, the players, ALL SAID THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRANSITION, PATRICK TOWLES, OUR QB LAST SEASON EVEN SAID SO HIMSELF, STOOPS EVEN SAID IT WAS A BIG REASON FOR DAWSONS HIRING. These coaches came up with every excuse possible during the season saying things such as "if the play worked we'd be geniuses" just a bunch of sore loser stuff like that thru out the entire season. But not even the coaches used transition as a reason for our offensive struggles. So no matter what you say, that doesn't mean it's true! In fact it's a proven lie because every player and coach just about said themself that there was no transition. Who should I believe, what our coaches and players say, or what some guy that goes by catfanfolife says? Tough decision. I don't think the players and coaches were lying, maybe you think stoops and towles and all of our players were lying. But I'm just not going to say that because I'm not going to make a complete dumbass of myself. Youre saying this stuff as if it's a fact which is so funny to me, as I said we went from a spread offense to a spread offense. Towles himself said there was no transition just a few wrinkles and a little bit different terminology. Instead of listening to you, I'm going to listen to towles and the coaches.
Yes there was more downfield passing during the first few games of the season I agree (middle to end of season downfield passing was nonexistent), but does that make it an entirely new offense like you claim? Again. As I said, as the coaches said, as the players said, there was no transition. We went from a spread offense to a spread offense. We didn't go from a spread offense to a triple option or pro style. We went from a spread to a spread, and you're trying to call it an entirely new offense? And at the same time you're trying to come at mewith personal attacks trying to act like I'm dumb? When I, the coaches, and the players all disagree with you? If you're calling me dumb for not believing in your very irrelevant, very wrong, and very ridiculous opinion that the coaches and players have already disproved themselves before the season even started. Then you're also calling the coaches and players dumb for not agreeing that there was no transition. You absolutely can't make this stuff up.
Before the season started.. Read that to yourself again.. BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED.. Anyone with half of a brain will tell you that Dawson's offense was not what he advertised it to be. Rendering all comments from coaches, players, and Dawson BEFORE THE SEASON completely useless as a basis for debate. If Dawson had run the offense that he claimed he was going to run he'd still be here. Honestly did that offense look ANYTHING like what Brown ran to you? Your answer will tell me whether you actually know what a football looks like
I'm not saying Dawson isn't the worst OC I've ever seen call plays in my entire life. Because he is. An absolutely horrible hire by stoops that makes him look way in over his head. But did they have to learn an entirely new offense? Was the offense they practiced week in and week out completely different? Nope. Just because the offense sucked, means there was a transition phase? Obviously brown is better than Dawson. But was there a transition? Nope. Just because it was inept doesn't mean there was a transition phase. And I keep wondering why is it he went from a bunch of downfield passing to conservative midway thru the season and midway thru games when we had the lead. I guess overnight he just changed his offensive philosophy.
[roll] Jalen flipping Whitlow was the QB in Stoops first year. We couldn't run a snails paced offense let alone a high paced offense. Good Lord
[pfftt]
I contend that The HC decided early on (pre-season) that this year's offense was not going to be an uptempo offense. That is something that has to be the very fabric of your team to be successful and has to start with the first snap of practice and continue. You can't sorta run it no more than you can sorta run Air Raid, Triple Option, Spread Option and be successful.
There were no detectable signs that was the case here. We were at best a conventional paced team from the start.

I think Stoops would like to have an up tempo offense. That's why we've hired the coordinators we have. We didn't have the team to be able to do that unfortunately. I think one reason we weren't able to go up tempo like we wanted was the defense. With the defense not being very good Stoops and Co. tried to protect the defense. Going up tempo on offense can put a ton of pressure on the defense if the offense has to punt after 3-5 plays.
