Between our play calling and o-line blocking, our offense is just offensive. Nebraska will kill us if we play like this against them and we aren't out of the woods in this game either.

Exactly!
Aggressive defense. We are having trouble blocking, so of course we call 2 cutesy plays behind LOS

I’m going to get annoying about it so apologies, but it is 100% on the OC to set up plays that allow the OL and QB to get into a rhythm.
This is what Lunney is not very good at IMHO.
After the short throws and Valentine run, he calls some dumb trick play.
Our kicker might end up being a freshman all-American at this pace
OL has been terrible.

Good FG.
But those last two play calls and personnel packages were iffy

I've been saying Lunney needs to go from day 1, well maybe day 2. But our playcalling has always driven me insane.
NO....
Olano has an accurate and consistent 52 yd leg.
If Miller doesn't have the OL ready to play, shouldn't it be on HIM ? ? ?
I'm thinking that Kansas game was fools gold.
We need a momentum turnover here!
Have no clue why we just go away from our dynamic wide outs for seemingly no reason...

I’m not excusing the OL play, but the OC is the one reacting and adjusting to the defensive alignments and play.

Sometimes you run an End Around, ect. to give the defense something to think about in the future. It's a chess game.
One of the best developments we have with this offense is Arkin can catch the ball. That gives the defense something to think about as well. Again a Chess Game

A simple reverse is not a trick play, and it fits the 'misdirection against an aggressive defense' that everyone's been calling for all half.
It was just another play we executed like crap, which is also on Lunney as OC, but this habit of calling every play that doesn't get more than 2 yards an awful play call is so tiresome.
Maybe you're right... But I'm thinking that the OC MIGHT be EXPECTING the OL and their coach to DO THEIR JOB... and if they do, MAYBE that play works...
Our edge/defensive end #7 didn't stay home on the QB keeper. Otherwise it works have been a 5 yard loss.
It is not 100% on the OC. That offensive line stinks right now. If you can't control the line of scrimmage, you can throw out 75% of your playbook.
we don't have the horses. All great teams have strong OLines, we do not, so I don't expect us to be a great team. Pretty much as simple as that.
No a good OC should know, I'm not going to have time to run slow developing plays, I'm not going to be able to run straight down people's throats, I've got to be aware of what I've got and put them in the position to succeed.
Our Oline and offensive play will be a huge question going into the nebraska game regardless of a big second half turnaround.
