Our offensive identity is lost
This offense is a shell of its former self and it's identity has been lost
We used to be a pro style West Coast offense that used a fullback and running backs. We would pull our guards on sweeps and pound the rock.
Now we do read option every play and out QB is our leading rusher.
It may work with an elite QB like Trey Lance but this is becoming a trend of mediocre play over 2 years.
Our old pro style offense was so unique, teams struggled prepping for it in the playoffs, especially on short notice.
Now we look like everyone else. We're predictable and easy to prep for

It's almost like our OC isn't very smart.

This is the smartest comment I've seen all day.
Re: Our offensive identity is lost
The best players on our offense aren't being put in a position to contribute. We have two of the best tight ends in the subdivision and they only get targeted what, 3, 4 times a game? We have possibly THE best receiver in the subdivision and his typical stat line is about 3 targets for two catches and 50 yards. I could live with it if he's drawing double teams on every down allowing for efficient short and medium passes, and I'm sure he would be fine with it too, but that's just not the way it's working.
Yet again our quarterback is our leading rusher. That is unacceptable.
The defense did enough to win. The offense did not.
The backs are being given no opportunity to develop a rhythm. It's rare that one lines up as the prime tailback more than two plays in a row. And I'm not a scheme expert, but it seems like our backs are getting tackled in the backfield for minus 2 yards way, way way too often. Whose fault is that? O line? Tight end blocking? I've never seen a supposedly good team have that many TFLs so often.

NDSU’s record with him calling games would prove otherwise

responses like this start to wear thin. He's 1-2 against SDSU, and would be 0-3 if he didn't have an NFL quarterback in '19. This isn't the Bison offense that won 7 titles. This is something else.

We used to win with players who weren't the best. They weren't as elite of athletes but played with grit, toughness, and discipline. Now we are better. We should win but the offense looks terrible. It's not loading our even winning it's how it's getting done. Poor undisciplined play that is ugly to watch. Oc is not getting it done. OL is not getting it done
