Coley's last drive on offense was predictably AWFUL

and again running plays with 15 sec on play clock in 4 min offense up double digits, its like the guy forgot nebraska happened, he's horrible
 
What ****ed me off is we started the drive on the Duke 48. We only have to move 15 yards forward and we have a shot to kick a field goal and make it a two score game. The game is essentially over.

Instead we punt on OUR 48. We don't even pin them inside the 5. Touchback.

Has Coley ever heard of a screen play?

Also, you have a running QB...how about a bootleg or something?

Thats a joke right? Have you ever heard of watching the **** game. Coley tried both those a few times and Duke was all over it. SMH.

Give Coley one more year, he is still learning. His Qb finding magic is too good to pass up.

Agreed with bold. Not the rest.
 
Coley I think is available to adapt and change coaching style for the better as with Golden and D'nofrio they aren't I would keep most of the staff and change the whole defensive side bring in your own offensive mind and make coley co offensive coordinator

and should have cost them the game. Run run and pass on 3rd and forever. All you need is a first down and the game is over and you choose to run into a 9 man box. Twice. Will not be sad to see the offense get a complete facelift.

I hated the results of that drive too but, was he supposed to pass and risk an incompletion? He had to keep that clock running.

Or we play for the first down to end the game

He is good with QB's so I wouldn't mind keeping him on staff to recruit and coach them up. Question would be if he loves Miami enough to take that demotion like a man and stay

Need a new OC for sure though. Gameplan and playcalling has been absolutely horrifying since he stepped on campus

Agree with you.
Duke knew he would run the ball and they prepared for it. He didn't try to do it effectively or surprise them with short passes or other safe but unpredictable play. I knew that there would be plenty of time on the clock for Duke to come back and score. He was playing not to lose. Same Shannon and Golden mentality.

So then why throw it on 3rd down!?!?

The most frustrating part isn't that they're stupid, it's that they arent even consistent with their stupidity.

If your goal is to make them use all of their timeouts, why the **** would you take the risk on 3rd down. It's the most important down if you're going to do that!!

The should've spread em out and tried to run the ball, or they should've done what they did on 3rd down, on 1st and 2nd and given Rosier some easy throws to try and get the first
 
We should be in the I formation as base offense. You can't expect it to function perfectly when the kids have been asked to use that formation only a fraction of the time. Last night we finally went to it early 4th quarter and gashed for something like 40 yards on two consecutive plays. Apparently that wasn't good enough. Instead of forcing Duke to stop it, we switched to our cupcake shotgun garbage.

On that final drive when we lined up in the I it looked reluctant and forced. The spacing wasn't ideal. That's always a tipoff. The old Student Body Right setup was tailback 7 yards deep. Gradually that has shifted to more like 8 yards deep. We were spaced too tight, with the linemen bunched and the fullback and tailback closer to the line of scrimmage than ideal. It was slightly less than 7 yards.

If that were our standard offense, or even a regular feature, we would know what we are doing, and have some wrinkles within the I to clear out congestion, even in a late game scenario like that.

On 3rd down we were stuck. It is long yardage. As a gambler I'd prefer to take a risk and throw it beyond the sticks. I didn't trust our defense to make a stand when it matters. A screen pass is a big favorite to get blown apart in the backfield, even though we did succeed with two 3rd down screens early in the game. I didn't mind that last throw except it needed to be a few yards deeper to allow more opportunity to bust tackles for a first down.
