It also doesn't help having to deal with all of these damned no-huddle teams. Utah wasn't bad on offense, they just plain whooped us. Tulsa destroyed us because of that damn no-huddle and them racking up touchdown after touchdown from 40+ yards out. And Old Dominion, while we largely controlled and played well, eventually we fell apart at the end against their constant no-huddle offense.

Regardless, it's not looking good. Old Dominion was one of three or four games where I could be considered the favorite and/or expected to win. Right now, if I'm very lucky, I might win 3 games this year, barring any shocking upsets. Powers better be ready to come out whooping ass next season, because next season very well may end up being for my job.
Yes, the no huddle is a bit ridiculous at times. The one way I have addressed it is setting my gameplan to aggressive and then hot routing my two D's and putting them on as qb spies. Sometimes it works...
