Does Coach Bajakian deserve some credit?

I actually think he’s done a reasonable job this year with this group. Clearly the weak link on the staff is Kurt Anderson.

Can't fault him for today's result.

I loved the screens. McCall almost never called screens; he was allergic to them or something. It's an important tool to keep the defense honest.

Meh. You can’t blame blocking inefficiencies exclusively on the OL coach. That’s just not how it works. Scheme matters and that’s the OC.

Scheme and playcalling also matter, but when the running game repeatedly fails to convert on short yardage situations, that's largely on the O-line.

Where were those screens last week. A screen or two to Himon could have been the difference against Nebraska’s jail break rush.

We ran them, including a perfectly timed call where Tiernan simply whiffed.

Yeah the announcers beat that one to death. Cam supposedly had 40 yards in front of him.
