From the rip it was obvious that we were unprepared and mentally out of it. The lack of urgency across the board and the constant penalties are disturbing.
Dawson's game plan and his playcalling tonight were an embarrassment. Look at how Jeff Brohm uses everything he has in order to exploit the defenses weaknesses. Brohm ran stuff last night that he hadn't shown all year. He sees your weaknesses on film and he exploits them all while making it easy on his QB. Dawson couldn't do that to save his life. He just runs the same thing over and over no matter who he faces.
Corey Hetherman got exploited by Brohm in the 1st quarter and gave up 2 TDs. The difference here is that unlike Dawson, Hetherman actually adjusted and after going down 14-0 early, from that point on Hetherman's defense held Brohm and Louisville to a measly 10 points the rest of the way. No, this loss is 100% on Beck, Dawson and the offense particularly Beck and his 5 interceptions(We all know he got bailed out by that Roughing the Passer penalty).
This rushing attack is pedestrian at best. I've felt that way from the beginning but on this board there are certain things that you are not allowed to say or you get called a mope and all this ridiculous stuff. We have hardly any explosive capability and everything is right up the middle but I keep getting told that we must do it this way because Muh negative plays and Muh prevent TFLs.
And can we please develop a quality 3rd option at WR? Where has Josh Moore gone? Tony Johnson? Keelan Marion is who he is but it doesn't seem like Dawson does enough to take advantage of his skill set. I'm not even going to ask about Jojo Trader because the whole thing is just comical at this point. The kid earns the right to wear the #1 Jersey but all of the sudden he forgot how to practice? GTFOOMFWTS!
