I’m down with most of this. Would be reassuring to hear Whitt say out loud that the coaches were wrong to handcuff the offense so much in high-leverage moments.

Yes, the WMU game happened. But it hasn’t happened since then. Yesterday was Bryce’s best game, against a good defense. You've got to dance with the one who brung you.

Yes, I’d love to have the kind of offense that can bash it from first and goal when everyone knows what’s coming, or pick up first downs on the ground late in the game when everyone knows what’s coming. But we don’t.

Back to the board

- Good post. I'm assuming as well that Whitt will get the dumb shit cleaned up - otherwise we're in big trouble, because that was supposed to be a big strength of his. The talent is there, and is looking great for next year too. - By jjwalker September 27, 2026 at 02:54:10 PM
