This wasn't another Weber game where we took a nice lead and then just shit ourself. Sac State made good plays all game long; I think they are a very well coached team.
One thing that really reared up is that we run out of the same sets and throw out of the same sets. It's really predictable. How often do we throw out of double tights? We did one time today. How often do we run out of a spread? Maybe 3-4 times today. It doesn't take a lot of effort to figure out what we're trying to do. Fortunately, we have enough talent to still make some of the plays, but we make it incredibly easy... especially to D up the run.
As a certain o-line coach/offensive coordinator used to say, who cares if they know what we are doing. They still have to stop us... :thumb:
Agreed, but there's no reason to make it easier on the other team. If were capable of just turning it sideways and running it up an opponent's ass, I'd be fine with being totally predictable. Unfortunately, we're not that kind of team. Keeping an opponent off-balance would really help the offense. I'd love to see us put that double tight on the field and run a little play action off of it. The way the D's seem to creep up on us, a little over-the-top threat would probably help our first and second-down running game a lot.
one of our TD's against Idaho was a play action pass off of the double TE set. I think we run it more than you probably think we do.
