Since I'm a negative, pessimistic person, lettuce start with what we're doing wrong...
1st of all, WTF on our shotgun-victory formations? As the victory formation should be a "safe" play to run out the clock, why are we purposefully making it more dangerous? Don't give me the "Dee-Shawn can't take a snap under center!" mouth-breather crap. If Deshaun can't take a snap under center in a relatively stress free environment, he's the only QB in the country who can't. If he fumbles the shotgun-snap or we snap it over his head in the ND game, we lose. Just get under center, take the snap, and take a effing knee, like every other team in the history of football has done it. This really rustles my jammies.
2nd, Punt returns ain't good at all. If we're not gonna block anybody, we should just try to block the kick every time. We do neither. Also, I love Art (#somehomo), but he's not a punt returner. He's went from letting every ball hit the ground and roll 20 yards to dangerously catching it over his head with 7 guys around him. Looks like he's been coached to never let the ball hit the ground now. Our whole PR situation just doesn't look right. Special teams otherwise is pretty good IMO. Punter is solid and Lakip kicked the ball well Saturday.
On a semi-positive note, the offense continues to roll even though I don't think they've put together a solid 4 quarters yet. I really don't think we've put together a solid 3 quarters, actually. Hard to be negative with the points we're putting up, but I'm concerned about Nov. 7. If we don't play a full offensive game then, we'll get beat.
Our defense makes me go from 6 to midnight. No complaints from me from that squad. #WEE2DEEP
