7. maybe line the qb up under the center when you are less than a yard from the end zone.  We have good center and a big qb and everyone will expect the shotgun with the handoff to the running back.  They will never see the qb sneak up the middle.

This this this. Everyone on the planet knows our play call on 4th and short, everyone. We are not good enough to gain that yardage with them knowing the play, especially running the play out of the shotgun. Be creative, don’t just bang our collective heads against the wall because we “should” get the yardage and we are too stubborn to innovate.

12. When your defensive line is clearly gassed, it is ok to send in some backups for a few plays. A fresh backup is oftentimes a better option than a starter with nothing left in the tank. The other team’s offensive coaches can see how tired they are and will fully exploit that weakness.

11.  Watch some KC chiefs tape and see how they utilize the TE in every game.  Jake Robert’s is CUSA’s Travis Kelce.  Use him!

Very apt tbh. But they have Mahomes that can make every throw, and we have Aune that… can’t (to be nice)

Hey, I actually saw some of the tips in the game plan.  

14.  Throwing the out route to wide side of field near our goal line is a bad idea.

Same here. Whether they got the idea from here or on their own, I’m glad they made some changes.

I saw this difference that I suggested implemented this week and was very pleased.

16. If you are going to keep using Aune and actually have him run the ball, run it at full speed in practice with full contact. The guy looks like he is running on ice half the time like he has never practiced pulling it and running. To be a threat in the run game and alleviating the pressure on our running backs he has to be quick and deliberate and absolutely cannot tackle himself like he did on Saturday. He isn’t fast but if he makes quick decisions with a quick first step he can get 3-4 yards per carry which will take some pressure off the backs.

18.  We need a better start in the 3rd quarter.  The three and out or one first down drive is a waste of taking the ball at the half.  Stop putting the twos in at receiver.  The miscues are not helping Aune, and bad things are happening.  This was the case in most of the games.  Let the one's set the tone for the first drive during the second half.
