Love our program, love what we have done in past four years, but man last night was frustrating.
Another lost opportunity.
Not sure if I missed it but somehow I thought the Air Raid would push us deeper down the field - similar to what I have seen with Hal's offense at Kentucky and New Mexico St.?
I counted 2 times that we took it up field and both worked.
Granted our OFF LINE was as issue throughout the game, but 2 times?
I wonder when June Jones quits getting a free pass on this offense?

Was looking all night for something different.
Same slow tempo, same 5 yard crossing route over the middle, over and over and over...
Nothing vertical, nothing explosive.

Pathetic is the word you are looking for. And overpriced. I would take $100k and use the other $2 million to hire a staff and we'd be at least more interesting to watch. And, we damn sure would have a kid who can kick a 27 yard FG! Past his prime.

The Air Raid is a more horizontally inclined offense (notice all the screens, crosses, outs, etc). Problem with us is we don't have the quick twitch horses to turn those into big gainers.
