I am not saying that Herman needs to "dumb down" this offense to Arnuad, he just needs to "simplify" his reads. Right now Arnaud is pressing too much and his results are showing. Herman needs to call plays that involve the tight ends and throw it to them until the defense takes it away from them. This weekend I lost track of the # of times that Franklin and Catlett were wide open in the middle of the field 5-10 yards from the line of scrimage. Get the ball to your receivers and let them make the plays, ala Texas Tech. Tech QB's over the years throw over 60% because they complete the ball with short passes and let the receivers run away.
5-10 yard passes = easier
15-25 yard passes = low percentage and incompletions
And right now Arnaud/Herman are trying too many long passes. The short passes will open up the longer ones later in the game if needed, otherwise Franklin and Co. should have blisters on their hands come Monday's practice.
