I agree, as usual, with Mr. FishDuck. I was at the Redbox Bowl where we won 7-6 and watched Justin's abilities being squashed (biased Sheldon & Oregon alum here). I blamed the offensive coordinator but it's evident at this point that the ire I felt was misplaced, at least partially. Until this year I was very much Cristoballin' quite optimistically, looking forward to building upon our strengths while bringing in the big bodies we were missing and possibly needed to finally win Uncle Phil a Natty.
Now in the midst of the 4th season I clearly see he's removed the high flying Oregon offense we're famous for and for some reason retooled it into Miami c. 1991. Imho football has evolved quite a bit since then, & we are best to get with the times (also, the fantastic receiver talent being wasted after the drought years with Herb is killin' me!). Thank goodness the Pistol seems to have gone away but hey while I'm here I'll whine about never practicing QB sneaks from under center too lol.
I'll admit if I'm wrong when we keep winning & capture a Natty with this system, in the meantime I'm bored watching predictable run-up-the-middle "smash mouth" football.
