Here is what I have read about the major problems on offense

Bad offensive line (again)
WR's not getting off the LOS
RB's not breaking long runs
Time management

If you are DH, what do you do to turn the page...

I think Satt was predictable in his play calling, and having a limited number of plays he would run with the sub-packages. This left the OL in a bad way since the defense knew what was coming before the offense made it to the LOS. After the third game, every defense knew what was coming and stayed out of zone coverage since DR stats showed he could not beat man coverage. This could be because the WR's inability to get the LOs, or possibly Satt did not leave an escape hatch for DR to run or throw to. Formations to help get the WRs out clean could have been better utilized. My opinion of having 4 RBs is the same as, "If you use two QBs, you have no QB." The RB's could never get in a groove or sync with the OLine because they never stayed in more than 3 plays. Pick 2 RBs, make them run the full offense, and ride the hot hand. Too many cooks ruin the pot! Time management is horrible, they give you three TO's, use the damn things.

I think there will be an influx of young players on the field the last three weeks, especially the WRs. This should raise the competition and let the cream rise to the top. I think by the time they play in Lincoln next week, there will be little similarities to the Satt offense.

What can DH do in short order to get the offense more productive and less predictable? How much progress will there be between week one and week two under DH? How many RS players see the field the last 3 weeks, especially the WRs?

Are people having problems understanding playoff seeding?

Game day spent 45 minutes on it, explaining it like the audience is kindergartners. Not sure if Howard understands it yet.

It's pretty simple. Seed the top 4 ranked conference champions. Then seed the rest which must include a 5th conference champion. Personally I like the format, reward the conference champions, they earned it. Any at large is getting a second chance and has to play an extra game.
