How Bad is the Lamar Offense?

Let's review Lamar's offense thus far. Only counting D1 games (excluding PVAMU too):

 

Spring game - no score until OT

ULL - no TDs or FGs

Hawaii - no TDs or FGs

SELA- 2 TDs (2nd and 3rd quarters)

NW State - 2 TDs, 1 FG (all in 2nd half)

UCA - 2 TDs (all in 2nd half)

SHSU - no TDs (kickoff return doesn't count)

 

So in 6 games against decent to good opponents, Lamar's offense has only scored 1 TD in the first half!!!

 

I hate to say it but shouldn't that get someone fired?

also..."your vastly" improved defense got trashed

 

Yep but did you see how awesome we ran the ball while we were down 20 - 49 points? Awesome!

The offense loves to give the opponent a short field. Going for it on 4th down on the LU 46 is asking for trouble. Fumbling inside your own 5 is liking giving them 7 free points. Lamar has a good defense but it's like they have to compete against both the other team's offense and their own offense.

I hate to be that guy who is always calling for someone's head but sheesh. I can't even watch the game because I know we are going to go 3 and out. I understand Sam has a good defense but they were sending a lot of Blitzes that weren't being picked up on. There is no hot route for the QB and even if there was they wouldn't get him the ball. How many time did we test their man coverage one on one with Kevin? I think we were one for three on drive in which we eventually shanked the field goal. It just makes me sick.

One of the main reasons the offensive is doing so poorly. Is because instead of investing in our strong returning players (IE. Ford, Franks, the MIA Sparks) Woodard spent his time recruiting OSU cast offs that have by no means lived up to the hype. And, lets not forget all his boasting about recruiting "Coach" Kueck..... What a gift he has been....well, to tear down the moral of these players that is. We need coaches that are in it for the TEAM not to be able to brag about themselves.

All I know is changes have to be made. Going ofer in conference is unacceptable. I can deal with losing to Sam and SFA given they have vastly more talent but geez not winning a game would be brutal. The question has to be raised is Berry the answer and QB going forward? If so let him stay in games and finish them regardless of the outcome. So moving forward we need some leaders because the attitude of this team sucks. I can take being bad I can't stand for kids to quit on their school, Teammates, and Coaches.

We tested it several times in the first half. Our receivers couldn't ever get open. In the second half the coaches quit again and so did the defense. Rayray ball took over, hand off left...hand off right, punt. Oh, and how about that great qb change? Bring in Moss to hand off, hand off, hand off, hand off. I couldn't take it anymore and finally left. Maybe Berry was hurt so they took him out?

I don't know...I just don't get it. I thought Kueck was a more aggressive, pass oriented coach. I think it has to be Rayray. And I have no idea what is going on with Sparks. He impressed me last year and now he isn't even on the field except special teams? It is crazy. And then we blew Nelson's redshirt so he could sit on the bench?
