Hopefully, the team will take charge in the last three games and finish with a winning SBC record. Go Owls!

Personally, I agree with Linbackerfau, the back ups need to start getting valuable reps in the last part of this season. IMO that is how you salvage this season, time to see how these other QB's work with the rest of the starters then you evaluate the other players on Offense. You build a team around your QB and it takes a while for them to become a team. That part comes when everyone is turning the pages at the same time the same way, when one thinks like all and all think like one. This is a very very difficult thing to do and the Pipe will figure it out along with his staff.
Danny has had a tuff year and a lot on his shoulders but so has the rest of these kids but these same kids are growing up I watched some film last night and it is amazing how fast and how well they do after a season -
If you have the right coach's and FAU does and I believe they have heart win or loose. Look for the kid with heart and he will fight to the bitter end and do it again and eventually he will prevail. Not just Offense or Defense but the TEAM.

#1 Get Clayton in the game. He brings a different style to the game and he has all the tools to be a very good QB.
#2 Mix up the offense, let it all hang out on the field. Drop the predictability and go for broke. Hell, put McKinson in the slot and run some WR screens or line him up at RB in the shotgun, give him a direct snap and let him throw the ball.
#3 Blitz, blitz, and more blitz. Play with reckless abandon on defense or do what they did last week to hold ASU to 0 points in regulation ;)
#4 Get a new mentality. The goals now need to be redemption and to play the spoiler. Play with nothing to lose and only respect to gain.
I hope this satisfies the need for some suggestions along with my previously vented frustration. GO OWLS!!!

Adjustments do need to be made, then again that is a constant neccessity during any game or season for that matter. What is important is not to make any major changes and what the coaches have game plans and a system they are trying to get the kids to buy into, major changes goes against the core of what the coaches preach. The biggest problem comes down to mistakes and lack of execution ( way to many dropped passes that are very catchesable balls, miss blocking assignments, bad snaps all part of execution).
Danny had to shoulder a huge responsibility and has done what he can do under conditions that are not ideal. This is still a total team effort and the players realize that they have assigments they need to do and must improve at every level.
Is it the game plan that is faulted or the lack of execution the culprit - maybe a little of both. I do agree that we need to blitz more, especially on third and long.
We just have to let the kids get knock down a bit and learn the hard way - kids have a way of wanting to learn things the hard way.
IMO, it would be a big mistake and huge disservice to the kids if the coaches did any radical changes - it would go against what the coaches are trying to teach these kids - from the foundamentals to the system the coaches have in place - everyone must buy into it regardless of outcome. All these tough lessons they are learning will pay-out huge benefits next season, unfortunately it won't be present so much this season.
