Expanding on this thought, the main thing wrong with our offense was too many wasted plays leading to too many 3 and out. This wasn't because of the old Kug run between the tackles on 1st and 2nd down leading to 3rd and 7. With the exception of Dimels need to run the wildcat inside the 20, it really was about too many wasted plays where a fairly short game control pass on 1st or 2nd was uncatchable.
Hardison was also a little like Boum. Boum's 35% from 3 isn't so bad, it's just that some nights he's 75% from 3 and some he's 16%. Hardison would sometimes do that in a single game. Go 0-8 until we are down 17 then all of a sudden hit every pass while we are down.
In Dimel's scheme, just a few more downs each possession would have won us 3 more games including the bowl game.
BUT, I watched some highlights of the new guy. I don't claim to know a lot about throwing form, but his form looked weird to me. It also looked like he threw a bunch of passes that would get intercepted at this level. So IDK. Again I just want an open competition. Just a slight upgrade at QB would have been the difference between a good season and a historical one.
