I think our inability to run the ball is partially due to the west coast offense. It's just not a scheme I like in college football. I hate the short passing game.

In the college game, with the west coast offense, I don't think anyone is particularly concerned about being beat over the top (keeps the boxes more crowded) and teams don't feel obligated to bring in another DB. We had way too many completions right around the line of scrimmage.

I think the Gophs run the west coast because they have:
#1 an O Line that doesn't play physical at the point of attack in the run game (especially the right side) but could at least get in front of guys for a short time in pass blocking,
#2 wide receivers that couldn't catch contested catches downfield (literally with WI and Maryland at the bottom of the conference),
#3 an injured star running back and number two (although I do like number 7 for the future),
#4 a QB that, while young, appears to have studied, has a quick release, and has touch for the short ball.

In other words, they had to run west coast to fit what they had. Continue to develop the WRs and OL and they might have something.

Hard to know on so few attempts.
 

I personally prefer the RPO vs west coast. More explosive plays, more stress on defense IMO, and generally fewer plays to score.
Look at the year AK had at Rutgers. Defense was their issue (and sometimes AK turning it over) but they put up a lot of offense.

We could get a whole lot more than a kicker with that money!! There are multiple bad takes in most every thread!

Kicker was bad the last two weeks no doubt

But on two of the three kicks the snap was high, in my opinion.
