- The team we had out there last night is simply not built to run a modern passing offense. No non-TE receiving threats, a re-shuffled/young offensive line missing its best tackle, and no QB that is anything better than mediocre throwing the ball. Tough to win with that.
- My QB take: as is quite obvious,, Orji is the worst passer of our 3 potential QB's. I'm not sure we should give up on Warren yet. I know he threw a lot of INT's but I'm not convinced Tuttle is better. Like Warren, he struggled a bit with accuracy. Unfortunately, Tuttle has not had much in game action the last few years and Warren has not had much in his career. Both have also dealt with injuries.
- That was our first road game against a team with a pulse in almost 2 years (OSU 2022). Plus it was on the west coast.
- Our secondary got absolutely torched. Hill - ouch. So many guys in our secondary got dusted - including on the short passes where they did not contain the play.
- I think Johnson is a very talented player. I just happen to think that he is not an elite man cover guy.
- I thought our play calling was too predictable and we needed to play to our offensive strength more - running the football. I think we should have run the ball more - even on 3rd and longs.
- I know Edwards had the long TD but I don't think he and Mullings should be getting equal carries. I think Mullings is the better back. Maybe he's not as healthy as Edwards?
- Our defense really got hurt on the screens. Looks like Washington was very good at reading our pass rush schemes.
- Even many of the guys that played last night didn't look 100%. The bye comes at a really good time. At least we kind of know what we have now and have 2 weeks to gather ourselves, get healthier, and come up with schemes that utilize our strengths and hide our (many) weaknesses
