The Bobcat Nation

I wish for the following things:

1. In short yardage (really short) situations, I'd like to see a QB sneak;

2. I'd like to see the QB pump fake now and then;

3. The coaching staff to recognize they need to change something or start doing something else to carry the momentum to, and throughout, the second half;

4. GW not to disappear;

5. The team is able to develop a killer instinct and not just sit on a lead but increase a lead. CLOSE THE DEAL!! ;

6. The team to feed off all the takeaways they had against the Griz and continue to produce more (preparation meets opportunity!).

7. Snow.

8. Windchill.

All points I thought of, ESPECIALLY #2. I'm tired of shotgun formations on 3rd and 1, or even plain runs on 3rd and inches. Just follow the big boy straight up. I don't think we've done this once.

Is it just me or was anyone else furious at that call in the third. 3rd and about half a yard and we line up in shotgun and throw an interception about 30 yards downfield. I never thought I knew the words that went thru my head. Luckily I held them in, 'cuse there was 2 sweet old ladies right in front of us.

The shotgun formations on 3rd and short when we were running the ball pretty effectively right up the gut was ridiculous. We have a national championship caliber defense but they can't do it all, if the offense could put up some points early in the game we could definately advance far in this thing. I think we often go away from our strong suits and face 3rd and 8, 3rd and 9 situations way too often. Get a 5 yard pass on first down and the playbook opens up.
