This may clear up some of the arguments I've been seeing

According to lane himself they specifically did not target receivers covered by the outside corners. That all they wanted to do was eliminate turnovers and they thought they would win.

Well duh. He understands our dilemma at quarterback better than any of us. Gameplan worked. One more to go.

More than that, he recognized how elite their corners were and said hey we can beat them doing X and not have to throw it. Against Clemson I suspect we throw a lot more. Clemson after last night will be over confident they can beat us.

But it was kind of obvious what would be the gameplan considering the strengths of both teams.

A great way to do that is to RUN THE BALL.

And let's not forget who approves the game plan. Lane Kiffin isn't the head coach of this football team.
If our OL plays better, if Dieter doesn't false start on 3rd and 1 at their 19, if Robinson doesn't get called for holding on the pass to Dieter that had us in business deep in their territory, the score is a much wider margin.
Think about this...we averaged needing more than 10 yards on every third down...even though we averaged more than 6 yards a carry when we ran on first down. Penalties were atrocious yesterday.
Edit...the pass to Dieter that was called back may have been the ineligible downfield penalty.

There were several times when running wasn't an option because penalties backed us up. There were also times that we ran on 1st down and only got one or two yards.

I admit I was one of the guys screaming at Hurts to throw the damn ball. It's like he'd check off his primary read and just freeze with the ball in his hands. It was very frustrating to watch to see receivers wide arse open and he wouldn't throw it to them.

If you go into a game telling an already hesitant QB not to turn the ball over, you get what happened yesterday. Hurts was even more hesitant than normal in trying to make anything happen.

Is that why he didn't use his favorite plays, jet sweep and horizontal passing behind the los. Washington has the biggest slowest dl Bama has played.

Yet they were consistently on our side of the ball all night. You have to give credit where it's due. W's DL played lights out.

I don't disagree. But it was finally a dl that is tailor made for the jet sweeps and horizontal passing.

I don't think Clemsons CBs are as good Washington's.

So why not more middle screens, TE seams in the LB area, etc? All career long we've been beat over the head with Kiffin's ability to see and create mismatches with formations and motion. The DBs can't cover everybody! We couldn't get OJ or a back isolated on a LB? I'm sorry, but there's no excuse for the piss poor play calling last night. Individual effort by Bo bailed his arse out last night or best case scenario is 10-7 score where the D scored 7 and the O put up a big fat 3. And if that's the score, it might have turned out differently since Washington could have stayed balanced with their play calling and only needed one big play to change things. The execution was shite last night and cost us many points,but the OC takes a big share of the blame for that abortion last night too.

Yeah....those stats conceal as much as they reveal. A lot of those "runs" were QB runs or sacks. Our possession at around 8:00 in the 4th sums up everyone's frustrations.

This potentially may have been a super low risk game call. It makes sense and honestly I think the Clemson game plan will be totally different. Either way it made me nervous until I saw the article.

Guarantee that over half the runs were QB reads.
