Did anyone else think the offense looked a lot better with a different qb that made faster decisions?
I wonder if Hamdan knows of an offensive line coach someplace?

Hamdan offense

Honestly, to me, it looked like a DIFFERENT offense. Ball comes out quicker, shorter route trees, etc. Boley seems to grasp what to look for pre-snap and where to throw post snap much quicker than Brock (and Levis and Leary, too, for that matter). He's not perfect but sure looks a lot more polished than Brock.
Hamdan said something earlier in the year about wanting to do something different but not being able to. He never expounded upon why. Now I wonder if it was because Hamdan wanted Boley to run his offense but Stoops made promises to Vanderpuff and therefore wouldn't sit him, so he had to alter his plans.
It's pretty obvious that Vanderpuff doesn't have the skills to run whatever offense has been designed for him. He has zero ability to go through his progressions or read a defense. He is even worse than Leary and I didn't think that was possible in a major D1 QB.

Looked much better but he still has two major flaws that are extremely concerning: 1) doesn't have key play designs, which is why we're so bad on 3rd and 4th and short.
2) shows zero ability to adjust to his personnel. We all knew wood would struggle. He has since the first snap vs sc. Yet we do little/nothing to help.

I'll add another: doesn't appear to have plays designed with options to combat heavy rush. Either Brock has failed completely to understand the concept of a hot receiver and checkdowns or they don't exist in Hamdan's offense. How many times this year has it been obvious that the rush is coming before the snap and we still run slow developing plays and take a sack or throw under heavy pressure?
I was disappointed with the layout of the play where Boley took the early high yardage sack.
They left the right end completely unblocked and were hoping he would bite on the fake handoff going to the left.
Made no sense.

Im reserving judgement on this because it could be on the qb. Boley didn't seem to have nearly the trouble vs the exact same opponent.
I lose it every time he calls these ultra deep drop play action reverse rollout plays. Theyre excruciatingly slow to develop and require protection to hold up forever. Even if they work, its going to require a 60+ yard throw in the air.
Its the exact kind of stuff you expect to see from someone that is used to a noticable talent advantage. Thats something we definitely don't have. Yet he calls one or two per game.
