Right—they should have “regular” stuff installed. But the game 1 tactics make me wonder, since we…

We’re pretty much all in on staying the course of the game plan, even though it was not working.

Back to the board

The biggest concern about Bryce being way behind expectations as a pure QB is that Venables made his money crushing option offenses. - By Bluebuck September 10, 2026 at 12:46:59 PM
- He isn’t much better as an option qb* - By harbaughdyssey September 10, 2026 at 01:38:37 PM
- I would run BU a little but I think we need to play a normal offense. An actual receiving TE in Zach Marshall (who played a stupid 5 snaps). No rhino, no Hoffman. 3 WR or 2 real TEs. Involve Marsh and Hiter. * - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 01:33:19 PM
  - I think we need to run Bryce a lot, but use him for things like QB power and QB RPOs (Beck did this a lot at Utah) rather than any outside stuff. Venables eats the east and west game alive.* - By Bluebuck September 10, 2026 at 01:39:41 PM
  - This is what makes sense to me. Not sure they can change so much from week to week this early in the season, though*** - By Craig September 10, 2026 at 01:37:25 PM
    - They don't run a normal offense that 95 percent of teams do? We are not a service academy - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 01:39:24 PM

        Very depressing to consider what the next couple years could be like. Key word could. Hopefully things normalize* - By Rich September 10, 2026 at 02:19:01 PM
- Not a good match up but not sure that's the best approach. Definitely has to feature Bryce run game tho if for no other reason than the extra blocker* - By LewisBullox September 10, 2026 at 12:55:53 PM
  - it's a terrible matchup. Venables is going to bring heat from all different sides and force Bryce to make quick decisions under pressure* - By DoctorD September 10, 2026 at 02:57:35 PM
- It's a horrific matchup for our offense. Luckily it also isn't a great matchup for their offense. Maybe we can drag them into a rock fight.* - By LS&Play September 10, 2026 at 12:52:02 PM
  - Yup. If we get into a rock fight, we have decent chances. We have studs at the skill positions who can bust a couple big plays against their super aggressive D.* - By Bluebuck September 10, 2026 at 12:56:03 PM
- Qb oh no’s, bubbles to marsh, and jump balls to jj* - By ameriKa September 10, 2026 at 12:48:41 PM
