If the head coach doesn’t switch his headset to offense and know what they are calling at the end of the game then they are incompetent. He was either throwing his OC under the bus or worse
Wright explained after the game that he wasn’t sure what the play call was and if it was designed to go deep.
“Honestly, I don’t have the answer to that,” Wright said. “That would be a question for (offensive coordinator) Todd (Sturdy), because I didn’t hear what the play call was.”
Bearcat Athletics declined an interview request for Sturdy.

I think that Head Coach Rich Wright is trying to do the same thing that Adam Dorrel did, just reversed. AD was the HC but he was primarily the OC and let Rich deal with the defensive side of the ball. I think Rich Wright chose Sturdy to be the OC because he has that head coach experience, OC experience at all levels, etc - and Rich can focus on Defense and Sturdy can focus on Offense. My guess is that Rich probably didn’t know what the play was

Another unnecessary offsides by the NW Dline led to a FG. Totally undisciplined

Hohensee is so much better than Baker, that's not even funny. There is a direct correlation between a mobile Hohensee and a much more dynamic offense. When the QB can move, it opens up so much more of the play book, and the defense has to defend so many more possibilities. They tried to limit MH moving in the first half of the Pitt game, and NW offense was inept. They took the breaks off of him and that loosened up the Pitt defense to allow the offense to move the ball. In the WU game, I don't think MH was capable of being any more mobile than he was, and the offense was just as inept. That's what happens when the experienced WR corp isn't all that great. If you become one dimensional, you are screwed! Looking at the last two years recruiting classes - it appears that Sturdy recognized the problem at WR and is addressing it. My guess is that they don't want to burn those red shirts. Maybe pick up a WR from the portal if one becomes available. Remember, other than the super seniors, this is a super young team. They have already surpassed my expectations and the future looks bright.
If Schurig hadn't of gone out of the game, NW would have lost by a much bigger margin! If Hohensee can heal up, things will look good for NW, if he can't - it won't. Plain and simple.
Perfect example of this is UCM - when Bolles was in there, they looked great. He got hurt, they didn't look too great. He came back - looked great again. Just need Hohensee to be able to come back to what he was like prior to the injury! Or we can just look forward to next year :D

The fact that nw waited until they were desperate to try and exploit that tells me they have very little trust in those surrounding the passing game. That or Broyles is their double secret passing game coordinator.

Many thought we were finally going to be able to throw the ball to open up the offense a little bit going into the playoffs. It turned out that he really wasn't that much better, if he was at all. Don't get me wrong, I think Hohensee has a much greater upside than Baker, and it could be that the injuries are hampering him to an extent. Obviously, his ability to run the ball is one of his better attributes (really should've been one of Wright's too, but he wasn't taking off much anymore). Could it just be that this is what he is and there was a reason he hadn't been able to beat out Wright? Of course it's the unit, not just the QB... guys have to get open, the line has to protect, etc., etc. To have an all world back like McKeller and be shut out in the first half of 2 straight games isn't inspiring a lot of confidence in our ability to become great offensive unit by the end of the season.

It's more of what nwms said. It's the kids. You don't have the difference makers you once had or as many of them.
I lived this and have seen this movie before only with a different actor.
Take this as smack if you want, NW fans probably will. But it ain't.
