Here is the problem:
Whitt won’t change. He knows he needs to, which is why he brought on Troy Taylor and BJ and Erickson and DC. He knows what type of offense he should be running, but the second that offense has any sort of hiccup, he shuts it down, reverts back to three yards and a cloud of dust.
He went back to Ludwig because he was tired of bringing in spread guys, having it not work, not allowing them to do their thing and leaving/being forced out. Ludwig knew what Whitt wanted and did what Whitt wanted.
Whitt can do all the things Narduzzi has done, hell he’s tried everything other than the NIL, but it won’t work because Whitt won’t allow it to work.
Whitt wants to run the ball, protect his defense, get TO’s and get quick scores off TO’s. That’s all the offense he wants. And if the defense doesn’t get turnovers and we can’t run the ball…well you can’t do anything else because Whitt is not ok with doing anything else.
For the record: Utah is 70th in TO’s/game and BYU is 3rd. Utah averages 1.3 a game and 1.0 the last three games. BYU averages 2.4/game and 2/7 the last three.
As long as Whitt won’t budge on the offense, if we can’t run the ball and create turnovers, we will suck offensively.
