First Actual Warning Sign for EB?

[Junction]

Maybe we need to play a game in Europe.

I'm pretty sure we've never lost a game in Alaska. We need to book more games there.

Maybe we need to play a game in Europe.

Maybe we can pick up a real European football coach while we're there

Is Cody Hawkins still playing in Stockholm?

All the offense has to do is score at least 52 points per game and we'd be fine!

Which is 100% true...this board's finger pointing at the D and placing all blame on Greg Brown is so short sighted...while the D has it's issues it's not nearly as close to the issues on Offense

We play in a conference where everyone has a shaky Defense but Offenses that are tops in the nation....2 Weeks in a Row our Defense actually put our Offense in position to win some games and every time the Offense would go 3 & out, or turn the ball over, or go backwards

Our offense is the worst offense I have ever seen at most any College Level...PERIOD

Obviously you didn't watch the FSU game. Five touchdowns on ten plays???? Are you kidding. The only reason why ASU didn't light us up was b/c Kelly kept missing open receivers the entire first half. He had trouble deciding which open receiver he should throw the ball to. The guy open for 15 yeards vs the guy open for 25 yards. Worst defense I have seen since the FSU game. I agree offense is pathetic as well. Watching EB call plays is like watching a blind squirrel search for a nut.

For a team that is committed to the run, we seem to quit on it rather easily and early in most games. It's like the coaches are gun shy and abandone the run as soon as our opponents score - "5 mins left in the first but we're down by three, time to start slinging it around." run the damn ball coach!!!

I TOTALLY AGREE!!! We give up on it early. I remember saying preseason if we weren't in the top half of the PAC it'd be a long season.

Switzerland!! Nothing more neutral than that.

Although I think Greg Brown is terrible, I do get Embree's point about the offense. In the PAC XII, you cannot consistently go 3 and out expect the D to win the game for you. They should be able to keep you close, but the O has to win games.

Fresno is an outlier to any discussion because the entire team quit/gave up or never showed up in the first place

My point on the offense is that while both sides of the ball are awful, I've seen way more bashing on the D and Greg Brown when in fact our Offense is just as bad if not much worse...ESPECIALLY our D2 quality QB play

Others have commented that there is more talent on the defensive side of the ball and while that "may" be true (wash IMO) the "talent" essentially lies with the Freshman more than anything....and I've seen the defense and many of those freshman have progressed from game 1 a bit more than the Offense which continues to suck and not progress against defenses that are not as good as the Offenses we're facing

Except watching the squirrel would be entertaining.
