We should hire an OC who has that killer instinct vs Alabama in big moments. Maybe the guy from Clemson. He did well in 2016 with Watson, but only had 188 yds and 6 points in the playoffs against Bama last year (Chaney had 365 yds and 23 points in the final). How about Washington's OC, 194 yds and 7 points in the 2016 playoffs?

In 2018, Chaney had 454 yds and 28 points against Bama. Oklahoma, with one of the most productive offenses in the country had 471 and 34, but Bama was playing passive after the first quarter. Arkansas 405 and 34 points in a blowout. Everybody else was worse than stodgy old Jim Chaney. Killer instinct is a lot easier said than done when you're facing great defenses.

I have far less disagreement with you than you assume.

My gripe with our offense isn’t personnel, and it isn’t scheme per se.

Rewatch this years SECCG if you can stomach it (I have to accompany it with a few drinks)...around 4:30 remaining in the second quarter we slow down the offense big time. We had a lead and were trying to shift to a more ball control look to speed the proceedings along.

Prior to that mark, we were in a rhythm unlike anything we had seen all year. Fromm was playing out of his mind, the line was clicking, everyone was confident and the ball was moving.

We never found the rhythm again. When we needed ONE drive in the fourth quarter, we couldn’t do it.

That’s what I’m talking about. Similar story for the CFPNCG last year as well. It’s also why I’m not advocating an OC change. I don’t think we would see benefit, because the things that are holding us back come from over the OC’s head.
