Something that made me feel even worse today looking at this weekend scores, wake Forrest beat the team we just lost to and then got destroyed by FSU 42-7 on Saturday. :)

Air Raid is as much about spacing and tempo as it is specific run plays or route trees. We don't run tempo, and we don't space out on every play to force the defense to cover the full field pass or run. The run plays are in most Air Raid offenses, BUT we don't teach our kids to bounce outside from A to B to C to D(if TE is in set) gaps. We also don't have wide splits for the OL, which isn't my complaint, but others hate it.

If we are going to run a simple offense to allow our best talent on the field:
1. Penalties should be limited because the offense is SIMPLE!
2. The best players should play: 87 is a massive question mark, 0 shouldn't be asked to go 1 on 1 deep, just two examples. This can get much more nuanced as it isn't just about who plays but who plays WHEN. Moore vs Marion on deep 1 on 1 routes, but then you have to find other plays to keep Moore on the field. Trader and Toney are two others who should have opportunities deep.
3. Tempo has to be used to limit the DC's input on calls and limit defensive rotations. To make it even worse, we have a road grader OL and have 4 WRs that can win 1v1 most of the time. I've said it for 3 weeks: run 4 WR sets and force the DC to pick between stopping the run or pass. We hardly do this, even with 6 kids that are good enough (Toney, Tony, Trader, Daniels, Moore, Marion) at WR. The pass concepts can be simple mirroring if it is that hard to implement, including 4 verts.
4. Stretch the field horizontally and vertically. After Trader's INT, we didn't throw deep until the Marion PI. We had 2 total "explosive plays": Marion 21 on an in-breaking route and Trader's TD. We had 2 other 15-19 yard passes. That is insane to me as a Miami fan when you look at SMU's passing defense stats... next to LAST, and it was last before our game.

Appreciate the time you took out for breakdown..


True, alot of things aint right when it comes to the flow of the game with this offense. Very true, UM did not test them deep .We are stuck in quicksand right when it comes to the flow of the game. .. coaching ,self induced penalties or decision making, terrible Time outs, no innovative ways to keep the ball moving, even with trying to be innovative these penalties and these trash A** refs are too much of a hole to dig out of.


Is beck missing his reads though i mean he was the check down hero this previous game and stanford?I'm sure he had a Moore one on one,( couple other posters called it out live on game discussion)

On replay they showed camera angle where it look like Moore had chance to make a play.

He checked the ball down to toney that was incomplete ,even if toney made the catch he was short of the first with a db draped over him. Just didn't expect a 6 yr qb to play so timid .

Its not all on beck but def the coach who is the direct reflection of the team. Hopefully he gets the team focus and not lay down
