Garrett Riley Offense

Those of you saying that the offense is no different than last year are either intentionally trolling or ignorant about football. The offense is so much better schematically this year. Receivers are open and plays are there to be made, it’s just about calling the right plays at the right time and execution.

Agreed, it was markedly better last night. Except for an handoff up the middle on 2nd and long - every series.
CK looked much more comfortable and made better decisions.

Lots of good but can’t score in the red zone. 2-2. At this point you can’t say Riley is even an upgrade. All that money and still not good.

It's improved from last year. Tyler Browns big play abilities has helped. They just can't finish drives. The O line played good yesterday.

The moment we get into FG territory, the play calling gets way to conservative. We refuse to go for the jugular. Playing for the FG is what sent it to OT.

^^^^^^yes yes and yes. My husband said the same thing as we were watching this directly in front of us at the game. Was setting up for the field goal and not even trying for the TD. There was still way too much time on the clock to think 3 points was sufficient to win the game. And then we missed the field goal 😳

Correct!!! You watch TCU play last year. They struck from far out. When we hit the 30 yard line, the Dabo offense takes over again.

There are some slight differences, but it is much the same

as it has ever been with Dabo. Running plays are ineffective and unimaginative, most of our plays involve far too much lateral movement, and we still can't pick up 1 yard when we need it. Meet the new boss, just the same as the old boss

The scheme is way better. This offense has the potential to be great if we had more playmakers. But we don’t, for one of two reasons: poor development or poor evaluation.
Imagine how much better we could be if we had an actual deep threat at WR. Wesco and Moore are otw, thankfully. Let’s just hope Grisham doesn’t kill their development.

I’ll go with let’s hope we have an accomplished WR coach who can instruct on catching with the hands, blocking with tenacity, running crisp routes like you believe you’re the guy who will be thrown to, and can recruit/evaluate high school players. We need a coach with all those abilities since Clemson won’t be hiring any pre-developed mercenary receivers from the portal.

WRs are open? Rarely. Usually we are throwing into tight coverage, often times tight double (which makes you wonder, who is open or single covered when thrown to a double covered guy? Its math).
There has been improvement, the turnover are frustrating. But this has ALWAYS been the knock on air raid offenses, they put up a lot of yards but it doesn't necessarily translate in the W-L column. Its not how Bama or UGA built their dynasties, and wasn't how we built ours.

Cade was scanning the field, and did a great job of hanging in the pocket and delivering the ball. I also love the short yardage QB sneak concept with the TE shifting position to push the QB forward. Brown and Stellato played well and got separation all game long. Shipley and Mafah ran well, just wish they had more top end speed.

Agreed. A lot of my fellow Gamecocks are going to be eating their words about him in November.
FSU is just good this year. Not sure why everyone is forgetting that.

If Shipley hit the hole like Mafah instead of stutter-stepping like he’s Barry Sanders behind the LOS, that would be lovely. Also, there’s zero playmakers at WR. I’d wager Collins runs a 5.8 40 at this point. And the only guy getting separation is a 5’10” 180lb Tyler Brown, who somehow is the only receiver we’ve had since 2018 that has caught 2 TD passes in a game. Our LBs are habitually getting toasted on perimeter play and we cannot contain the edge to save our life. Wheel routes are our LB’s worst nightmare. And even with Matsuba back yesterday, there were several pass plays where the opposing wide receiver wasn’t covered by ANYONE. Do we blame Wes or weekly misreads by our secondary? We did great against the run but still allowed nearly 300 in the air yesterday. Thankfully, Jordan Travis wasn’t spot-on at the beginning or we would have lost by 3 touchdowns. It isn’t trolling if it’s truth observed. We aren’t that great, still. And we might as well prepare ourselves mentally for 2-3 more losses with UNC, Miami & Notre Dame still to come. That ND team that I watched last night is going to throw us fits for all 60 minutes. And there isn’t enough time or talent on this team to resolve the issues by November 4th. It is what it is. And the “ I love this team” rhetoric is getting old. If you can’t rely on your kicker, set the edge, or cover WRs in 2023 - you’re broken.

Are we better so far, yes. But we have only played two teams with a pulse and scored 7 in one of them.
We will see by the end of the season.
Losing is losing though.

It's just painfully obvious we don't have big play guys on this offense.
