How would you grade the playcalling yesterday?

yeah the RB rotation should be interesting next year.

I habe been impressied with diggs all year. Good in all 3 phases, always seems to fall forward to get a yard or 2.

But Jackson just pops off the screen. you can tell there is a real difference there.

Jackson is going to be an elite runner I think.

RPOs were non existent (with good reason), hated the RB rotation (Williams had more carries than Jackson, Diggs, Holly and Cain combined), could tell early on Nuss had a directive to protect the ball and didn't like the run/pass balance without the threat of the RPO, 33% on third down, 0% on 4th down, and a turnover

BK better have been reaching out to OCs and their agents on the plane home

That's what I loved! Williams is the guy I want to see back there if we can't have Diggs.

That was the 2022 disease that JD5 had. Hope we can cure Nuss like JD5 was cured. So frustrating to watch possession after possession.

Agree with you.
His cut to the left is nasty and reminds me of Guice.

A QB making his first start in an offense designed around a Heisman QB with an entirely different skill set playing a team with a damn good P5 defense (statistically similar to Florida State) with its biggest strength being run support and no major opt-outs on that side of the ball. We then lose our best RB on his first carry in an offense that has had to rely on the QB for its run game production all season while playing a QB that was at no time a threat to run.

Taking into account all of this, we hung 35 points on them with absolutely NO help with field position from special teams or defense, I would say they called an amazing game.

I thought Nuss played a great game, but the few areas he did not (missing some open guys early) was no fault of the play calling. The fact that people were melting about the shitty play calls and QB play resulting in check down completions for 5 yards was mind boggling but expected here.

Was very good and well coached. Nuss looked like a vet out there.

Our entire running game was based on Daniels and we were playing a team whose entire existence is built around stopping the run. The turnover was purely on the communication between Nuss and Thomas. If you want to dig for something, perhaps a QB sneak on short yardage, or a quicker hitting run play would've been a better call in short yardage. Even that is rather hard when your center is thrown back 3 yards into the ball carrier.
