Fall Camp Week 4

Having Koch, Henery and Maher working with the ST can’t be a bad thing.
There is a very fine line these players need to navigate when asked about the offense under Whipple versus prior years.
extremely hard not to imply the prior guy in charge of the offense didn’t know what he was doing
It seemed to me under frosts first 4 years his offense did a good job with the first dozen plays that were scripted, after that play calling was like throwing darts with a blindfold on
Unlike Osborne whose first couple series often went nowhere running FB traps and options. But then when the defense began to bite on those the magic started to happen.
He must have been fairly decent throwing darts with a blindfold on as we finished 2nd in the conference (conference games only) in 2021, 4th in 2020 & 5th in 2019. The problem wasn't moving the ball between the 20's, it was redzone offense & inopportune (aren't they all) turnovers.
And overall execution:
Run plays don’t work when the D is in the backfield before the RB has a full grip on the ball.
Pass plays don’t work well when 3 or 4 man rushes can consistently get pressure in less than 3 seconds.
Pass plays also don’t work when the QB takes more than 4 seconds to make a decision to sling it and throws 1 INT for every 1.4 TDs (plus fumbles), hence your turnover comment.
…or QB steps out of bounds before the first down marker when scrambling.
All mostly unrelated to play calling.
But we still managed to produce some yards all around.
I really hope Gabe’s knee is 100%.
The competition will add a layer with him legitimately in the mix.
That we did as well as we did with glaring problems, a mistake prone QB, and very little NFL talent tells me Frost is a pretty good Xs and Os guy.
He’d probably make a good offensive coordinator at a place like Oregon.

he has always seemed to have a great attitude
I'm looking forward to seeing him back in there
I like seeing Applewhite running along side Allen as he coaches the technique. Energy is infectious.
Thanks for posting @SOHusker11

And Callahan's practices too. It's tough for a team to improve much when 4/5 of the players are standing on the sideline pretending to be paying attention.
And he had a mistake prone quarterback the entire 4 years. Don't forget that.
