Thompson never saw the field because Herman kept games close. He’d take his foot off the gas at times and not get young guys in. Also I feel like at times they tried to force the ball downfield trying to build stats for Sam in hopes of setting him up for a Heisman race. That was early season. It was odd seeing 4 verticals when it was 3rd and 4, but it’s the only explanation I can think of. Or they hoped he’d run it. Oh well. It sounds like sark wants to be aggressive. That’ll be a breath of fresh air.I just realized what a simple and obvious concept this is. Then I started thinking that Hermans staff did not seem to adhere to it. Hell, even when Bijan started running wild right out of the gate he would be benched for long periods. Our Oline didnt start to gel until Majors came in at center.Was Collins in the doghouse or something?Why did Casey Thompson never see the field even when Sam would go series after series of 3 and out?
Not all of this is on the staff.........but...some...is....
