72 grade on PFF, 2nd highest on offense behind Hiter. It was a solid game. It was encouraging, the light looked to be flickering on in the run game

passing is a WIP, but again I'm with Rich here, the scheme stinks. Especially against a venenables defense yesterday we played in a phone booth and they ate us up. There was an argument the only way we'd lose would be TO, but at the same time you have to have a functional passing offense against better teams. We aren't holding many teams with a pulse to 10 points.

On rewatch: Underwood’s decision-making was *so* much better, passing and in the run game… - By Craig September 13, 2026 at 01:11:19 PM

  - lol behind hiters 6 yards on 8 carries. I know he did some great things in the passing game and had a run called back but that’s funny.* - By WOK September 13, 2026 at 01:15:37 PM
    - PFF is better than nothing but the way PFF works - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 01:17:37 PM
      - Clearly “steals ball from QB on option plays” doesn’t factor into their grading* - By WOK September 13, 2026 at 01:30:21 PM
    - PFF is sorta like Funky's charts that way, they try and parse out the results of the other 10 guys on each play, not easy* - By Daytripper September 13, 2026 at 01:17:31 PM
- I don't like the conclusion (not just you) that 'it worked'. It absolutely did not work. We got zero points in the 2nd half from the offense unless we count a 6 yard drive* - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 01:13:06 PM
  - Now to be known as the 6 yard covid year drive. * - By django September 13, 2026 at 01:24:30 PM
    - Hill won the game for us. An example of the duality of football - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 01:55:33 PM
  - Just that it worked in that we won the game. But I agree, it was overly risky-averse… - By Craig September 13, 2026 at 01:17:33 PM
    - Definitely needed lower risk but taking deep shots is as good as a punt. And we would have had single coverage on at least one WR.... - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 01:21:00 PM
  - yea see my conclusion above. It worked against OU, it will likely not work against better teams* - By Daytripper September 13, 2026 at 01:14:27 PM
    - Without the Hill pick, it is 2/1 we lose that game* - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 01:15:18 PM
