The same plays that only put up 200 yards against Florida were the plays that put up 440 against Alabama.


No stats to support this but it just seemed like we had a different tack vs Bama than with UF. As a minimum I'm pretty sure we used Hill more vs Bama.

As for the OP not recalling any "brilliant" play calls I think this is overstatement. There were some. Not many, but some.

My overarching concerns/points:
a) It took 8 games into the season before our O seemed to find its groove. That's too long. I think this goes back to '08 and Les not willing to trust things to the O until he has to.
b) Our O struggled in the RZ and in points territory all year.
c) I for one am perplexed how a team like OM could field a more proficient O than us with a 1st ye coach, a QB fresh out of JC, and by most indications a talent level below ours. Can anyone explain this?
d) Les's approach is "I don't have to take risks on O when I have a great D and ST's" when it should be "I can afford to take some risks on O because I have a great D and ST's."
e) A little bit more proficiency on O and we're playing this Saturday.

Look at the games we played well offensively vs. the game we played sub par. There is one major difference, home vs away.

Young guys will struggle on the road, especially young o-line and first time starter at QB. And those were the 2 positions that really hampered our offensive production on the road.
