And all I am saying is that it is not at all clear that XH left because he is being passed on the depth chart. And, he may transfer and fail. But that wouldn't mean the odd play calls and seemingly uncoordinated or sophomoric pass game are not part of the package. We hope the staff has a full book of plays that work, and that our staff was unable to use it because of AR. But that seems like a reach because some of the staff's calls were so odd. I still recall the fourth quarter slant that vs LSU and that was frightening. AR just slinged it, desperately, no touch or line. But the call left only one option, AR makes that throw on target and catchable, and the receiver makes the catch. Not too impressive when that was the game. Maybe it was just beyond AR's ability in a game situation... but at the same time, staff is required to know that. The way the staff let clocks run out at half time make me think they just didn't get a playbook installed, weren't prepared. But that's okay, last year. This year it's going to be hard to excuse head scratching play calls or the inept in-game management.
This is one we will have to look back on and until our pass game stinks and/or XH is mediocre somewhere else, we just won't know how to take it.
