re: are our receivers that bad? or what?

They have no chemistry with the QBs. Look at Gage's face catch last week, the timing just wasn't there. I don't understand why in games against weaker schools like Chattanooga or Syracuse or even BYU we don't just fling it around.

Obviously we will be able to run against these teams. Running the ball is 90% physicality. The bigger/stronger guys will push the other guys around. But a sound secondary who plays their roles and knows their assignments can make up for a difference in physicality.

Use these games to work on passing the ball which is more about timing and reading the coverage. Take these games and use them to improve on weak spots rather than giving yourself a false sense of confidence bullying weaker teams.
