Jerry Mack didn’t sugarcoat the performance against Liberty: “Execution on offense was some of the worst I’ve probably ever seen in my coaching career.” That’s a brutal indictment coming from a guy who’s been around college football for more than 20 years.
Would you like to relive the experience with the All-22? My research team has procured some offensive film for subscribers to take a look at themselves and fact check Mack’s claim. No judgement if you’d like to move on ASAP, but I found it pretty interesting to see the action from a different perspective, with some time to digest the game.
There’s some flashes, some moments that will make you nauseous, and everything between. Rickie was actually kind of cruising (relatively speaking) until it all went off the rails with a couple ugly throws. Some of the moments, like the rollout dart from Landon Varnes, look a whole lot more impressive rewatching the end-zone angle than on the broadcast. Others, like the short yardage attempts to run the ball, look even worse.
You will not enjoy this, but you’ll probably find it to be a revealing look at the current state of the Owls’ offense.
