with play calling and offensive design....it appears to me that all of the misdirection etc. with players moving across the formation is just smoke and mirrors, the ball almost always ends up in the same 2-3 places. We didn't exploit the space behind the LBs at all, it seemed the LBs were blitzing tons, or playing right on the line against the run. The D was getting pressure on Dobbs while he was waiting to execute the fake to the WR or RB and I thought if would have ran some straight play action we could have hit the TE with a quick pass down the seem or a shallow slant and got those LBs out of there or moved the ball more consistently. It was apparent to me that OU figured out the offense quickly after giving up the 17 and we didn't threaten after that and made no adjustments that I could tell.
Yeah it was bad. Dobbs actually stated we did a shizzle job of "adjusting to the adjustments." I can't disagree.
I just hope this game and last year's Florida game are just growing pangs of a team not used to winning and not the norm.
