Dan Hawkins called a fake punt on Hawaii when the game was out of reach.

I enjoyed his tenure at Colorado.

04 team upset NW and MSU to go to win a Hawai’i bowl vs UAB. Totally different this year. June turned that team around. Who we beat this year? Can we stop the skid?

Remember the 1st year of the Spread in 87 under Wags & Paul Johnson = 5-7 season. Took a year to get that offense running on all cylinders. The 9-4 in 99 was great, but tempered by the 3-9 season in 2000. I also recall UH getting pounded by Fresno & Boise by 70-14 & 69-14 under Jones.

“I get a couple of great passing plays I drew up nmy napkins at my local watering hole last night. Think i going scan em and send it yo da UH coaches!”

When you look at things objectively this is essentially year one for the rebuild of the program. Year one’s are usually not so good. With the change of the offensive system it may some time to expand the playbook past the “base package” of routes and runs. It also takes time to acquire (recruit) the right types of players specific for that system (defense too). Next year will be different. With the personnel (recruits from 2018) developing together on the scout team (defensive guys are being developed on field) the looks will be so different. Maybe “unrecognizable”. Will force defenses to readjust. Next year they will have more “answers” installed and ready to counter different looks (defense too). Just takes time. This is year one. This is what “we’ve” always wanted, The Jones era “rebirth”. It’s coming. You can see it.

Earlier in the season, the running game seemed to be somewhat more varied as to the different plays that were run, including at least one option pitch and some sweeps outside the tackles, if I recall correctly. As many posters have already indicated, we now keep running the RPO straight up the middle. Not making use of the speed of Fred Holly, Elijah Dale and Miles Reed with the up the middle ploy. And not fooling the opponent’s defense either. No need for trick plays. What happened to the variety?

I agree with the post about the seeming lack of variety on offense the past few weeks. However, I have to say that installing a completely new scheme in one year never really happens. When new coaches come in at the collegiate level and are spectacular 9 times of 10 it’s because of their superior athletes.

The success of our offense early this year is the product of defensive coordinators up against an unknown and the shear talent of a handful of players.

The full scope of Rolo’s RnS 2.0 will not be seen until late next year, perhaps even the year after when scheme, coaching, and recruiting all mesh to define the offensive gameplan.

Develop plays around the strength of other players.
