Why are we trying to run?


We've actually had a couple of decent runs, the problem is, we aren't mixing it up at all. We are only running when they expect us to, based on what we've done all year.

People talk about adjustments all the time. A conversation I'm not usually a fan of, because most people see, "Oh we're moving the ball now, our coaches made great adjustments." Without having any clue what the adjustments were.

In this case though, I think it's pretty simple, start passing earlier in the series. How about throwing something downfield on first down? I know we want to control the clock as much as we can. That means running as much as possible.But it seems to me we have the game plan of, let's keep it as close as possible, rather than, Let's go win this damn thing.
 
I don't understand how people are blaming Arnaud here. Every score for OU has been a 60+ yard drive. We're moving the ball enough for the defense to get a rest and they're still blowing it. 10 catches for Broyles already? Yep, it's Arnaud's fault.

This. We're playing to prevent them from getting points, rather than playing to win. If this offense can't show up the rest of the year and it doesn't show up early next year, there will be a lot of people calling for a new offensive coordinator.

Watch the game film and get back to us.

Probably more because of the 0 points and continued lack of showign much promise on offense. moving the ball is what you call success? The one drive we moved was because he threw the ball past the LOS and we were aided by a def. holding. Yes Arnaud is the man!
