Did we lose our starting QB early in the game? I forget

Good analysis. Given the game situation and how well Mason had been doing I was surprised to see Gibbs as featured back on the next to last drive after Tech go the lead and the ball. Seems like you just keep letting Mason pound the ball, make a few first downs and run out the clock.

You can count on P’nude doing the opposite of what makes sense. It felt like Mason was more effective last night.

Yep, despite being anointed our next starter by the fans, we pretty much have seen all the upside of Yates. I like him. He has guts, but no way he leads us to more than 1-2 victories as a starter.

I don't see how we can confidenly conclude this. I think a little dink and dunk plus scrambling could actually work with our running game. Some guys don't wow you with any one physical skill or attribute, but do a bit of everything well enough.

This is probably true. Then again, he was about the only guy making plays last night.

And that is the sad state of our program. Luckily, the day we play Clemson, I have other obligations so maybe I will never see that score.

It’s typical of Goober’s lack of situational awareness. He runs the plays he‘s gonna run, actual results do not matter.

Becasue he’s small and we needed a power game since our backs were being met by defenders at the LOS most of the game.

Not really. We had plenty of runs up the middle where first contact was 3 yards beyond the los.

When we ran laterally, especially on the read options, we got met in the backfield. NIU was coming hard off the edges. Our QB/RB/WR mesh is too slow.

Sure, you and I could “coach” 60 offensive plays and we’d look good on a few of them. But, Patenaude’s scheme as a whole after 2 years and 1 game is just about the worse I’ve ever seen. It’s a playbook of plays that every team runs. Zero original material. It’s like a power point he got at his first coaching clinic and it’s the Bible to him. It’s like he’s making a movie with extras only so it’s an entire 3 hour movie of background noise. I watch A LOT of college football and our offensive scheme is beyond bad.

"It’s a playbook of plays that every team runs." But that is what the CPJ haters wanted. Recruit the same type of players, run the same offense everyone else does, and we'll be just as successful as Clemson and Bama.
