[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 658490, member: 2299"] Which offenses allow for the team to basically ignore the passing game? To put this in perspective, last year we averaged 9 pass attempts per game good for 129th out of 130. Maryland was 125th and they averaged over double our attempts at 20 per game. Miami was 102nd and passed 3 times more per game than we did. The only teams with comparable passing attempts were the ones that ran our offense or very close facsimiles of. Willi Fritz at tulane, who people point to as the "non Johnson coaching tree option" passed it 24 times per game last year. And that was a yearly thing. No offense came close to the extremes we did except those that basically ran what we do. You say the problem is with teaching players how to execute, but that isn't a one year thing. There is a reason OLmen generally redshirt and often don't start until their junior year anyways. Because getting them to execute correctly takes multiple years. And the fact that our previous offense didn't even try to teach them most of the things we are asking them to do now makes it no wonder why they aren't learning it any quicker. Same holds true for Wrs, QBs, etc. So when our OLmen can't block worth a damn, our WRs can't get separation or make catches, and you want to blame that on coaching, then realize that most of those guys were coached longer under Johnson than they were under Pnut.
