Offensive Effeciency.

Efficient? Think we ranked outside the top 100 in points per play last week. If efficient means how few points you can score by running the most plays then yes, very efficient last week.

From his perspective it did work. We had 500 yards of offense and Fromm had 300 of passing. In this game though...we methodically chewed clock and moved the ball down the field followed by a turnover, or loss on downs (4th and 6?) or missed FG. We painted ourselves into a corner.

We only had 1 punt in the first half and 2 in the second half. That shite is crazy.

500 yds of offense - over 100 from Swift and 300 from from - only punt 3 times - 36 min TOP.....and lose the game. How is that even possible?

A game where everything goes wrong. Three drives stopped by ints, one because of a bad throw, one because the receiver runs the wrong route, one because the receiver bounces a short pass right off his hands. One drive killed by a fumbled snap. One drive ends with a blocked field goal, another with a missed field goal. One turnover on downs. One drive ends when you run out of game clock.

Meanwhile the other team has one touchdown drive the entire game, in the first quarter on a long pass play, and five punts and a missed 57 yd FG in the 2nd half of regulation.

No room for error with the way we play. Too conservative and too close other team always a mistake on our part or big play on theirs from being back in the game

i mean that's not what he said at all..he said based on their metrics the running game met all the markers for being "effecient", but he said the lack of explosive plays all year has been an issue. said we've been a methodical drive team all year, vs a more score quick with explosive plays. his big thing was the 4 vs 0 turnover margin. which is hard to overcome.

he was pretty candid with all the questions...except one. he was asked about how he felt Coley is doing, and if he had anything to do with offensive gameplanning. dodge it by saying he was focused on Kentucky.

The more plays it takes you to score, the greater the opportunity for flukes to happen.

It was a peculiar game but the mistakes were more ours than caused by USC. If their defense had been outstanding against others, I would bite. They have only been average. The offensive game planning (Swift tried to say it out load today) wasn’t acceptable.

We still likely win if Fromm throws the ball away (still not sure that is really what he was doing) or doesn’t have the rare bad exchange or we don’t commit pf deep in their territory on third and long while knocking out their less mobile qb or tipped ball for int or non field goal kick or blocked field goal or missed field goal attempt. However, we did all those things. We didn’t put the ball in the end zone enough or fast enough. We made mistakes.

It’s like they are throttling the offense under the guise of being controlled. It worked up until Saturday but we faced one opponent that should have even give us a second thought.

All fixable. Hope they make some changes because from what Swift was saying it sure sounds like OC might be losing his guys.

Good news is it’s all in front of us. Fingers crossed.

We were all feeling the same crap last year after LSU. 1.5 months later, we took Bama 4 quarters with a CFP berth on the line.
