Re: Champ’s comments and those of you with a short memory. Remember last year’s team that was chalking up the points and yardage such that our offense was in the top 25 even ahead of Nevada’s offense aka Rolovich. Think about it…..the reason why our offense stumbled this year is the lack of quality players starting with the QB and offensive line and, yes, quality receivers…go back and read last year’s team results and look at the offensive stats and you will see Hawaii was definitely right up there offensive wise but the defense couldn’t stop anybody, anyone at anytime. You get the players and there wouldn’t be a problem and there will be some quality players coming off their redshirt year playing next year barring any injuries.

Both June and Chow have hired Offensive Coordinators and turned over play calling duties. June hired Hal Mumme last year and before that he hired a coach from Houston to call plays. Mumme was one of the originators of the Air Raid an offense based on the old BYU and Texas Tech offense and the coach from Houston also ran the Air Rad. Chow hired Tommy Lee, then Price, (none of whom ran Chow’s offense) and now he has Wynn to run the offense and call plays (Wynn’s background is in a throwing spread offense he learned from the current Fresno OC– a guy Chow calls a throwing coach). Price and Tommy were let go, but Wynn is calling plays in an offense that is not what Chow started with here. We now have the QB in the shotgun instead of under center. June started here with the QB under center, and tight ends, when it was not working he took out the tight ends for receivers and put the QB in the shotgun (against the advice of Mouse Davis, by the way).

Watching the Wahine v-ball team play. This does not look like one of our better teams. If they are selected to the NCAA tournament, I do not see them advancing much beyond the first round.

Something seems to be missing. Good, but not one of the great teams. I hope that I am wrong about their tournament performance, if they get selected.

True, but we also have to accept the reality that Norm Chow has not had success as a coordinator after USC at BCS schools and the NFL. One can hardly blame facilities or support for that.

#56. champ. There’s no room on the staff. The only way we get a new OC is if Ben Jay forces Chow to dump a coach to open up a spot. Chow didn’t want to let Kaumeyer go last season but Ben made him do it.

No! June Jones would not hire an OC that uses the read option. If his offense doesn’t work, he would just try harder with the run and shoot. Oh wait, I take that back, he would just Quit.

Go Warriors! Make it a 3 game winning streak to end the year.

Interesting commentary on the state of UNLV football. Lots of familiar sounding problems and similarities to UH football.

Joey straight ahead, St. Juste wide with pitches or misdirection, Kemp and Keelan long, Harding, Barton mid, Puu’ Robinson short or screens. Then mix in Moleni, Vele. Run on 3rd and short. and move the chains. Go Bows Go! Win this one.
