When watching Canada's past offenses, you see a lot of yards, and a lot of points put up. What is he missing with this offense that he had at other schools? And before you say it won't work with SEC defenses, he made Clemson look like fools. I also can't see that Pitt's Oline is just that much better than ours. Does he not have the tools to work with?

Pitt's OL is absolutely better than ours.

Etling isn't a good QB.

Only one WR with any appreciable experience in real games

My thinking is that we have a bunch of players who were used to a simple offense where you got lined up and tried to beat the guy in front of you. Now these same guys are being asked to move and pull and shift and motion in every which way and they just aren't used to it yet. My hope is that we will get better as the year wears on.

Nothing adds up anymore.

I don't think Pitt's OL or talent was just better than ours.

Still not a SEC defense but I do get the point. Like others, do we have the right guys up front? Is that blocking scheme correct for the offense? Being that we are only 3 games in, I'm still optimistic that we traded up

I think he's kindve reverted back to what he did while he was at Wisconsin instead of what made him hot at Pitt. I believe having Guice influenced this decision but there's no reason Guice can't be very productive in the system he ran at Pitt. He needs to move us toward that style of offense and it needs to start this weekend. Also I'm not sure who's decision it was to play things close to the chest against the two cupcakes we faced weeks 1 and 2 but that strategy need to be scrapped. Once you face your first SEC opponent the cats out of the bag anyway so what's the point?

Combination of bad Oline, average QB, and untrustworthy receivers. I don't think Canada is a bad OC at all. I just think he doesn't trust any of those positions well enough to open the passing game up.

I'm begging for Cam Cameron to be back calling plays. No way in hell Les loses by 30 fricken points to MS State.

His opponents when he was at Pitt had DBs lining up 10 yards off the ball. In the SEC we have DBs pressing our WRs. When we have only 2 WRs who are 3 star guys lining up, the opposing team presses them, has 1 safety dropped back, and puts 8 in the box every time.

No. You answered your own question. His offense is difficult to learn. There in lies some of the problem.

An above average QB
An above average O-line coach/recruiter
An above average O-line with depth
An above average receiving corps
The opportunity to play 85% of his games against non-SEC/SEC type defenses

I'm thinking short practices and lack of reps during offense install= too much scheme, not enough tech,.
