Was I? Like most of us I said the offense looked great in the a&m game--because it did. Ae we not allowed to give credit when due? a&m played a lot of man coverage. Zone coverage seems to give Dawson fits. The offense has gotten progressively worse since teams started playing more zone coverage against us and we have failed to adjust. During that stretch I've been critical of Dawson. Unfortunately the a&m game appears to be the aberration. Houston fans were right.But you were on his jock when we were winning.
Edit: here's what I actually said about Dawson after game 1:
Game 1 overreactions
Lots of good at both lines and RB’s. My biggest concern is CB depth after the starters. The backups did not look good.

This is my concern as well. I’m not going to be overly critical given it was game 1 against a middling MAC team (and a game we won decisively at that), but knowing what we know about Mario’s offensive philosophy we could be finding ourselves in dogfights pretty regularly If he continues to play at this pace and with this run/pass ratio. Again, I’m hoping this was by design for reasons others have already articulated but I’m also not a big believer in the “they were just saving the playbook” narrative.
