Did Nick Sheridan actually have a game plan?

Milroe played like trash and deserves all the criticism he’s getting but Sheridan was equally as bad or worse. He continuously called qb draw or qb power when it was evident they were taking away our quarterback running game. Jam and Justice both were plowing through Oklahoma and still didn’t get many carries.
Where was Law? He’s our best blocking receiver. I get Milroes limitations at quarterback but we should have called some quick slants in the passing game. Our offense looked like a pee wee offense schematically last night. No pop passes to the tight end up the seam. Horrible offensive output.

He did until the first two series were met with receiver drops

I agree that the offensive game plan wasn’t good, but slants or anything quick passing Milroe really struggles with.

That’s what’s crazy most of the slants that’s been called have been touchdowns thrown by him. I can think of three off the top of my head.

I'm not saying he called a good game in anyway. But Jalen was the worst he has ever been. The OL really played poorly and on top of both of those factors, our WR group became allergic to catching and blocking.
I'm not sure what you can expect when all of those are happening in one game.

Honest question, did any of the coaches have a game plan? For the second time this year, it seems they thought they could just show up and win. Someone forgot to tell them that isn't how it works in the SEC.

It's not only that but there were ZERO adjustments. We just continued doing the same thing over and over and over. Incredibly frustrating.

Its hard to have a game plan in place when you have a Forrest Gump clone playing quarterback.

I think we should have run the QB draw a little more, it was working so well!!

You can watch Milroe panic the second the O line starts to falter. Dude is just too overwhelmed reading the defense.

When receivers drop balls you don’t change the offense you change receivers.

OU was packing the box with 8-9.
Show me an OL that can block 8 with 5-6.
Sheridan was a trainwreck, but a functional QB would’ve been calling hot routes or audibles all night.
Milroe can’t do that so you get QB power into a run blitz on 3rd and 10.

To make that happen, the qb has to make a timing throw to hit the WR in stride. When have you seen Milroe make that throw? If he makes that throw it’s either behind the Wr, or too far ahead or 3 feet too high.

There was a bunch of times where I feel like Jalen -- and this has been a problem for a couple years now -- Jalen sometimes snaps the ball without a plan," McElroy said Tuesday on WJOX. "Every snap there has to be a plan. The what-ifs. The what-if checklist on every snap. ... I just want Jalen to play and snap the ball with a plan as opposed to reacting and appearing surprised every time he drops back and there's, like, crazy pressure."
quote:
“He’s just not the quarterback he wants to be, which is fine. There are many different quarterbacks now. But when have we seen him be accurate? I’ve been saying it from the get-go. He hasn’t progressed from last year to this year in any form.”
McCarron gave a breakdown of some of Milroe’s issues, such as getting “way up” on his front toe while throwing, locking his front leg out and that Milroe is “super over the top.”
“It reminds me of, the way he throws it sometimes, remember when Tyler Watts, they changed his throwing motion back in the day when he got to Alabama?” McCarron said. “He threw way over the top almost. He does that. We haven’t seen Jalen be accurate.”
McCarron said Milroe’s biggest positive is that of many quarterbacks in college football, nobody can run like Milroe.
“His biggest negative is, he doesn’t use his feet enough,” McCarron said. “He needs to be a one, two read guy, go. He doesn’t step up in the pocket.”
McCarron added that he hasn’t seen Milroe go “north” in the pocket much.
He goes back, tries to stiff arm guys and end up going to his right,” McCarron said. “It’s easy to play. D-line, it’s easy to play. They understand your tendencies. It shows. The more games you play, teams start preparing for that. They coach their d-line to do that. It’s easier to play. I think you’ve seen that this year.”

The further away from the game I get the more I feel the blame falls the most on Sheridan. You could argue that milroe could read the plays better to hand the ball off. But we all know he's for the most part not reading jack and the play is called as QB run. And he's not changing plays either unless instructed to by Sheridan. So why were there not more designed runs? They worked almost every time.

I’m not sure what he could’ve called that could play to the strengths of Milroe. The designed QB runs were taken away by the defense, and unfortunately Milroe can’t read defenses, barely checks down, and just makes some silly mistakes.
I can’t even blame the OC. Go back and watch film, and you’ll see some guys with up to 6 yards of separation from the DBs, and Milroe didn’t even look their direction.
I’ll blame coaches for only one thing: not recognizing his limitations early and getting someone else in. Even a game manager-type QB would’ve at least kept defenses relatively honest. But everyone knows they can crowd the line and dare Milroe to throw.

He had a plan, he didn't have an adjustment.

Indiana fired him because he was so shitty. If that tells you anything. He’s a loser.

Serious question, would Sheridan be our OC if he didn’t have a personal connection to DeBoer?
