No. 2 Offensive Identity

What is the offense? I mean that in all honesty. What is the offense? Is it run through Tyler Allgeier? Does it depend on the play-action pass or quarterback run? Who is the number one target? Are the tight ends part of the pass game or not?

To all of these questions, the honest answer is…complicated.

Sure, the offense is dependent on Allgeier’s success, but there still isn’t a sense of this being his team. For the receivers, there clearly isn’t a clear target.

As mentioned before, the Cougars have had no issues at all moving the ball down the field. Yet, they are scoring less than 30 points per game. Why is this? I think it because the offense lacks an identity. There isn’t a certain player that gets the ball on third down. There isn’t a type of play that the Cougars run when they need a tough four yards.
