Third and goal: soft pass to a wide open receiver for a TD. We MUST get more aggressive and inventive. The Fran and Slocum offense days are done. It's time to open it up. We put WAY to much pressure on our QB by having him pass in obvious pass situations. Open it UP! Become unpredictable
It's easy to be an offensive genius against B12 defenses
OkState, KState, Iowa State, WV, not to mention Baylor, are all top 50 in total defense. Of the teams that we lost to, only MIss. St. (if you can believe that) is so ranked. You can argue that is a function of who they play, but keep in mind the Big 12 is reputed to be a pass-happy offensive minded league, so if they have highly ranked defenses, isn't that saying something for those teams? Besides, our non-conference schedule (we rank 20) wasn't exactly stellar.
The top 20 defensive list includes all probable playoff teams except for Notre Dame, who's 29. So the list is legit.
(SEC Teams: UGa -- no surprise they're 1; Bama, Us, Miss.St., SoCar, and Florida).
