Agree to a point. It's been proven over and over the biggest improvement comes from Week 1 to 2 (a Bo mantra). That said, there were a lot of things I hated about the staff last night....

No downfield passing
Strange personnel on offense
No real adjustments on offense
Poor down/distance strategy
Inability to isolate Marshall, Hiter or Marsh in space (aside from wildcat with Marshall at the end, which was dumb from a clock standpoint)

I do expect the penalties to go way down.

Back to the board

- It was the way our offense was playing. That was the worst UM offense I have EVER seen. And I can’t imagine any significant improvement as our weaknesses look so fundamental. * - By BobEvans September 6, 2026 at 09:58:18 AM
