maybe there needs to be an ear piece in Riley's ear that Dunbar is the playmaker for the team and this is not SLC.

Will to Win · September 18, 2010

I don't have an answer for you other than we need to start with a clean slate going into the rest of this season and into the new stadium next year or

WE WILL suffer more loss in the future.

Riley Dodge should not be playing QB for this team, not even in emergency situations.

Nepotism. He will ride his son right to his pink slip.

I'd rather lose giving the ball to Lance 50 times a game. You have to think he could break at least 4 or 5 long TD runs in 50 chances

untbowler · September 18, 2010

How does Dodge or Canales justify only giving Dunbar 12 touches at running and 5 catching. Just pathetic, 17 touches for someone that could win the game for the team.

While Riley passes 17 times and runs 8 times. Who is truly calling the plays? Canales or Dodge?

Why are we not using blocking Backs and the TE's? Are they only for show at practice?

To me it looked like we back to TD's playc alling because Riley was in the game. Since he started out at WR he probably doesn't know the whole Chico offense as a QB. Just my thought

Canales may be calling some plays, but Dodge is still very much in charge of this offense - it is pretty obvious by the fact that his son ran in the second half as much if not more than Dunbar.

I want to make sure I understand this thread. Dodge really does not want to win. He really does not care if his son receives another injury after permanently damaging his arm and watching his first and second team QB's go down with season ending injuries. It is his fault or the S & C coach's fault for all of the injuries.

This offense has looked shockingly similar to Dodge's... if I didn't know better, I'd assume nothing has changed. Shotgun draws in short yardage? A continual ignoring of Dunbar? Same stuff, different year. The worst run in the modern era of NT football continues.

So he wasn't involved in the hiring of the S & C coach or practice patterns...

Coach Canales calls the plays folks.

Dunbar was not being ignored, Riley was running the zone ready (pretty much all he can do with his arm) and he kept reading that he should run instead of handing off to Dunbar. Maybe he is reading incorrectly, but again I ask, why on earth would Chico stick around if Dodge is sabotaging his playcalling?

Maybe ignored isn't the right use of wording, I don't know. What I do know is the preseason Doak Walker lister is not getting the ball. Everyone wants to know then, why is it that we have a system in which if you go by a certain read then it leads to the stud of the offense only carrying the ball 12 times? Seems if I'm a D coordinator I would simply give that read to you all day? Maybe with our second string QB coming in that is exactly what Army did. Make the backup whose starting his first game beat you? If so, we played right into their hands.

Is he going to leave in the middle of the season?

I'll bet you're right.

If that's the case, then the heat really needs to be turned up on Riley himself. He's supposed to be a playmaking difference-maker...a guy you want with the ball. He definitely was not that guy yesterday.
