Offense was perfectly balanced

Even split between called runs and passes. Yardage running almost equal with yards passing. Les achieved almost perfect balance. He will find no fault in the play calling.

The only thing left in his mind is execution. Execution was atrocious, but it is not the only answer.

- it is not the overall balance between run and pass, it is the timing of the calls and play design. 3 straight incomplete passes to Dupre is not balanced.

- a balanced team must utilize the whole field in the passing attack, especially the middle of the field. Where are the tight ends and slot receivers?

- We need a quarterback that doesn't throw everything high. Brandon is killing our receivers. Since he doesn't run effectively, why not try a more accurate passer (if we have one). Does Brandon purposely throw high to the sidelines to avoid the possible interception? If not, how can a third year quarterback be that inaccurate?

- offensive line play. Is it coaching or strength and conditioning? Our guys can't pass block teams with more than average talent on the defensive line.

- poor talent evaluation on offensive line. Every year it seems Les misjudges who needs to play where on the line and shuffles during or after the first game. Perhaps our defensive line does not test the offensive line in practice and everyone looks good?
