It would be super interesting if any of the people saying we should make adjustments would outline what adjustments we should make beyond let's run outside, or let's pass. Like, hey our guard matches up well on their linebacker, so let's run behind him, or something like that. Otherwise, quit...

How bad is the offense, you ask? Well, UMass has 20 points already on Notre Dame.

Balance has nothing to do with it. Hell, we're at our best when we are not balanced at all. This is about the guys not blocking anyone at all. Unless or until that changes, nothing will improve.

This is largely the same cast of characters from last year, though. I simply don't believe we're not talented enough to win.

I want to know whether it's the players not knowing what to do or if they're simply incapable of doing it. I don't believe it's the latter, but I have no idea why it would be the former.

Get back to our line imposing themselves on the defensive line and backers and have strong blocking on the edge. Do those two things and I think Mssr. Thomas can take it from there.

Marcordes will test well, and he looks the part. Someone will probably give him a shot.

38-23 Jackets.

No one can say our offense was responsible for that, though. I'd say they came back with a vengeance.

The issue with the missed assignments is distinguishing between mistakes made because the other guy beat our guy and circumstances where we just goofed (think Skov running the wrong way on third down). If the number of the latter was higher, then that's fixable. I still have tremendous...

I think he means we're going to throw the ball.

I think we should stipulate that the officiating was poor, and the pushoff non-call was wrong, but it wasn't helmet to helmet on Cooper Taylor against Tyrod Taylor in 2008 bad. The officiating hurt us, but it didn't sink us is what I'm saying, I think. I will say it's getting old being on...

Russell? Hey, when are our uniforms gonna change?!?!

Perhaps we're confusing chemistry with talent. The two receivers we had last year were among the 200+ to be chosen to play on Sundays, so perhaps that had something to do with it. They were both seniors, so even if the players we have now are as talented, they aren't as physically advanced...

Not Thomas's best day, for sure, but he wasn't the deciding factor.

Well, he would know. I would say that I don't doubt Notre Dame beat us on some plays. That happens against a good defense. I think the issue I have is that we were too often a block away if we simply sealed the alley, a responsibility that usually falls on the A-back or receiver if...

I think we will be, assuming injuries don't cripple us (which may be assuming too much). But it's not unfair to expect us to need time to grow. Hell, against VT last season in the 4th game, we only scored 20 offensive points, three of which came on a short field. No one remembers because...

Are you certain the line and the QB are struggling? Because that's not the game I watched Saturday. We blocked fine inside, but we failed in the alley, which is - spoiler alert! - what cost us the game.

3:30.

I think this is ridiculous. The third game of the year last season required a touchdown in the final minute against Southern to win. We're all comparing the offense at the end of the season the offense at the beginning of this season. A more reasonable comparison would be the third game of...
