Almost every week lately, except after Florida, I sit on the game week thread and think to myself that surely this week Sark will figure out the offense. There are moments of sheer brilliance, followed by just grinding to a halt. It’s maddening.
Here I am doing the same thing again this week. This offense should score 40+ every game. This offense has all of the personnel it needs to make the 2000’s OU offenses look lame. Yet Sark just can’t get it going. The running game bogs down. They throw brilliant intermediate passes, followed by throws into coverage or batted down by defensive linemen. Or they commit a penalty.
This team lacks discipline. And I don’t mean coaches yelling at players. I mean being able to execute the play with the all of the proper actions: no penalties, not letting defensive linemen bat down passes, not having the QB self sack, not throwing the ball where a defender can get their hand in, not dropping passes, not running the wrong route or play, not missing a block by a pulling left tackle, etc.
At some point, when you see so many mistakes you have to ask why the coaching staff can’t reduce them.
