Shelly made some mistakes, but hell the kid is a RS Freshman and has never faced a D as good as Washingtons. I don’t think the offensive game plan was anywhere near where it needed to be. We should have been in the bunch formation, or double tight mixed with RPO and play action from the very first series. After you establish some kind of offensive continuity then you can try the cute stuff with Covery, the reverses, and sweeps etc.
Even if we didn’t score in the fist half, maybe we could have kept our D off of the field for longer stretches of time.
