....why on Earth, on a monumental 4th down in a must score situation, we brought in Bullock and Nelson as our WRs?

What is the fascination with forcing Nelson into these situations? If you remember we also had him run a goal line dive play in the redzone earlier in the year. (also failed)

Ty Robinson has played FB.
Jeudy has played FB.
We deploy Haarberg at weird times.


Why do they think it's creative to jig with the player personnel and WHY IN THE HOLY FUCK did they do it at that specific time against UCLAbia?

If in year two your offense relies on gimmicks like this then you really don't have an offense.

If Banks and Neyor aren't your guys on 4th and must score then I have to surmise that you aren't really serious about getting to a bowl game and don't understand the stakes of missing a bowl game again. They basically risked the season's success on two guys buried on the depth chart that have like 3 catches between them for the season. Why?

You answered your own question with this:

"If in year two your offense relies on gimmicks like this then you really don't have an offense."

I thought for sure we were running a bubble to Barney and satt and co thought those were the only two WRs that would make the blocks but then I was completely wrong and the play never had a chance

There as good as any other. Why not. Our WR suck.

Lack of awareness from the OC.

The insertion of HH here and there is stupid. If you want to play him, bring him in for one series in the 1st half, and one in the 2nd - and leave it at that.

Keeps his skills sharp, preserves Dylan's health, and gives Dylan another perspective on how to attack a defense.
 
For the life of me, I just don't understand why we make things so hard on ourselves. Down 13, 2nd and Goal from the 5. I understand you don't want Dylan to get hurt, so put HH under center, put Robinson and Huntmacher behind him and do they freaking tush push three times in a row if you have to...

would have been better than passing 3 more times after running all the way down there.

I do think some of those are weird but Jeudy actually looked like the best FB I have seen in awhile. On the one play he took his guy 15 yards towards the sideline. I think they should keep using him in that spot.
