Hes lost the hunger and intensity?? Thats a ridiculous take
This offense is completely different than last year. We are under center almost infinitely more
Equally as conservative and terrible.
Stop it.
I agree
Schematically they are totally different
Agree
What?!? This isn’t a top 3 team the last 5 years.
Maybe
Offensively, it is. It’s obviously not playing like it.
Lol
It is and our coaching is continually kneecapping it’s potential.
Strongly disagree
The offense has changed
It won't next year or in the future, his philosophy only quasi works in the B1G West, which is obsolete in one week.
Seems like the gophs receivers are never wide open, for the exception of 1-2 plays a game. They make some tough catches but obviously 50% of the time they don’t complete. Not sore if AK isnt reading the D correctly or if the WRs aren’t that good. The defense was the weak link today, usually 28 points would win a gopher game in the PJ Fleck era, but there is something definitely wrong with the passing game. Might be the play calling
Not sure what game you watched but there were open receivers all over the field today
Then they didn’t show it on tv. No receivers I saw were wide open
Go just rewatch the first drive and you’ll find the two you said occurred over the course of the whole game
If you want a definition of what I consider wide open, just
if you want my definition of wide open, just watch the Purdue receivers all game. Your grasping at straws
Very good summary. The offensive play calling has become so predictable and unsuccessful because of inconsistency at QB and Oline. It was like they hadnt worked together before whole secod half. He stands back there, holds the ball and cannot make a decision at times or he has zero to no time to make a play. Defensive line had there worst game against Purdue, against a bunch of back up players. Was or were there people missing? Could not set an edge or establish line of scrimmage. Lack of teamwork and communication. Played better against better backs. Linebackers, after #6 Baranowski got hurt it was complete chaos. Out of position, bad fits and positioning, totally lost in coverage, not taking on blocks or playing together, outside of #9 Williams, there isn't a guy that would start or play for the St Thomas Tommies let alone a Big 10 school. To be honest it looked like not one of them had ever played together or practiced together let a lone knowing the play calls. This position has been a bane all year. I'm not counting Lindenberg cause he has been hurt all year. Unfortunate #6 got hurt because he is good player and seems to be a leader.
We aren't playing to our QB's strengths, I'd argue coaching has done more to screw up Athan than he has the offense. OC: 85% QB: 15%.
The problem isnt separation, it's a failure of the qb to go through his progression, especially in the second half. I clearly observed Kaliakmanis look to two options fairly consistently in the first half, second half he was locked in on the primary route as soon as he got the snap. That's both coaching and zero situational awareness by the single most important player on the field.
