Bowl Games and Our Offense

[UNTLifer]

Watching the bowl games, I realize how generic our offense has become.  SL is supposed to be a great OC, but I see a lack of creativity in our offense.  No motion, no misdirection, etc.  We have a stable full of RB's yet never run a two back set.  Based on recruiting profiles, we have a deep TE room, yet we rarely utilize them outside of Pirtle.  I would expect much more out of SL's offenses than what we have seen.  Just a thought.

Watching how we struggled on offense the last 2-3 years you would have to wonder if Seth is still considered a sure P5 offensive coordinator if something was to happen here.

Lots of yards and not winning games does it impress most people, usually only the fans of the teams that put up those into yards

This was discussed one or two seasons ago.  Litrell offense has no problem moving between the 20s.  Struggles to follow through.

Might be worth diving into the nature of this offense and if it relies too much on available space to attack backfield.

The post is referring to offense. I’m sure the last place ranked D had nothing to do with it. Again nice pivot attempt.

Seth is the Head Coach = in charge of both sides of the ball, good and lousy, thus the 37-38 record.

Just posting a fact in reference to the topic. Some have trouble doing that.

Offense only does not make a football team unfortunately.   You have to tell the whole story, otherwise you have just "fake news" like you are trying to convey!

Offense is the topic. You can always headline your own thread.

El Paso Eagle asks if Seth would still be considered a P5 coordinator if he hit the open market.

NT80 comes in by discrediting Seth’s aptitude as an overall HC, when Wag Tag was putting in perspective relevant material for his potential market as an OC.

How about a staff with him as our OC, Bennet as DC, and Fuente or Patterson as HC?

1.  He would never accept being the OC here.

2.  Fuente is not the answer.

3.  Patterson will never coach anywhere else.

I was being hypothetical, just curious if ppl would be okay with him only as OC.

No. 27.5 points per game does not get it done. Don’t give a damn about yards. I give him credit for adapting to run the table late season but overall the offense has been a dud for three years. 
And to whoever called us a “last place defense” you are way off base. With the offense we are supposed to have giving up on 27.5 a game should be sufficient.

I don’t think you can have a dude who was running the show one year be a coordinator at the same school the following year.  It would create a weird dynamic in the locker room.

This. Even during the Fine era, if we didn't pop one outside of the red zone for a TD, it was often trying getting the ball in the end zone. We often would run Fine on a QB sweep to the boundary to pick up.an extra blocker. That's not creativity, that's textbook Jr high offense.

Dodge 2.0…lots of yards, not enough points
